We started class by gathering around our prayer table. We prayed together and anyone who had a specific person they wanted to pray for shared with the class.
On our prayer table we have a Bible, a rosary, a cross and a (LED) candle.
We got our books and our folders (that we will bring every week) and wrote our names on them. We read the first few pages in our book to learn about our book and the different parts. Then we did Chapter 1.
Three kids in our class led us in the prayer at the beginning of Chapter 1.
As we went through Chapter 1, we wrote down notes about the important things we learned.
These are the sticker charts we will be using to chart homework completion and mass attendance. **Housekeeping Notes**
Please remember that you will need to park and come inside the gym at 11:00 for dismissal. The kids will stay sitting until you have checked in with me. I will mark each child off as he/she is picked up. This will go faster each week as I learn everybody's faces!
After you send back the permission forms, I will be able to post pictures up close of the kids as they lead us in prayer and in role playing activities. Right now I have only group pictures posted.
Homework
-go on the Sadlier We Believe website (link to the right) and complete an activity
-page 16 at the beginning of the book (review with family)
-pages 24, 25, 26 (page 24 is the assessment of the chapter we completed and pages 25 and 26 are to be shared with the family)
-attend Mass and bring a song sheet OR bulletin to class
**Notes about the homework**
There will be homework every time we have class, however, it should not take much time. There will be a chapter review for every chapter we complete that is only 5 questions. The other pages are to be done as a family so your child can share with his/her family what he/she learned in class.
We had a great first day of class and look forward to seeing you again next week!
