4th Quarter News

 

 

Testing went well.  The students seemed to concentrate on the questions and tried very hard.

 

DARE has started and will continue through April.  DARE Graduation will probably be the first week in May.  More information will come later as to the exact day and time.

 

Religion – Our unit will be on the sacraments of healing and service.  There is no April prayer to memorize.  May’s prayer is to memorize the 4 sets of Mysteries of the Rosary.


Reading – We’ll read books by Raymond Bial, a photojournalist and report on them.  Then we will write our own photojournalistic book.  A letter will be sent home on 3/31 with more information.  After that we will read stories from the reader.                       

English – We will begin our study of adverbs after Spring Break.  Then we will study prepositions.  We’ll finish the year with various topics, i.e. titles, abbreviations, a review of all parts of speech, and some diagramming. .

 

Spelling – Please study the words each night.

 

Creative Writing – We will do book, website, business, and movie reviews.  If time we will write a mystery story.

 

 

Social Studies – We will continue our study of the beginnings of our government, the War or 1812, and events leading up to the Civil War.  A study guide for chapter 9 will be sent home after Spring Break.

 

Prayers to be Memorized

 

All prayers must be memorized by the 15th of the month.  Prayers will be heard as close to the 15th as possible.  The exact date will be given to the students prior to the 15th.  This will depend on the availability of parents to hear the prayers.

O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer you my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.  I offer them for all the intentions of your Sacred Heart:  the salvation of souls, reparation for sin, the reunion of all Christians.  I offer them for the intentions of our Bishops, and of all Apostles of Prayer, and in particular for those recommended by our Holy Father this month.

Act of Contrition

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my hart.  In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you, whom I should love above all things.  I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.  Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us.  In his name, my God, have mercy.  Amen.

Gloria

Glory to God in the highest, and peace to his people on earth.  Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.  Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy of us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father:  receive our prayer.  For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.  Amen.

 

 

February 15

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.  He descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead.  He ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,  the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

 

 

March 15
The Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

 

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.  Through him all things were made.  For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: 

 

By the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. 

 

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;  he suffered, died, and was buried.  On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures; he ascended into haven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. 

 

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

 

We believe in the Holy spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.  With the Father and the son he is worshiped and glorified.  He has spoken through the Prophets.  We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.  We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.  We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.  Amen.
