February 8th Class

Dear Parents and Families, 
We had a very busy last class. We began with our work books and reading the story from our work book. The story was Standing on Holy Ground. It discussed how Moses saw the burning bush; God came to him and told him that it was holy ground. 

Next we worked on our Faith Books. We wrote in the groups that we belong to and our God Parents names. 

Lastly, we went into the church with Miss Rose and practiced receiving the Body of Christ and the Blood of Christ. We were able to taste the un-blessed host. We were able to hold the chalice and try to sip the water that was in it in place of the blessed wine. It was a helpful experience because now we know what to expect on our First Holy Communion Day. 

Our next class will be Sunday, February 22nd

See you then.

Today we read out of our God's Gift Eucharist workbooks. We read the Story of the Ark of the Covenant. 

Today in class we also worked on our Vision Boards. We will be adding to them each class and then they will hang in the Faith Formation hallway before our Communion. Today we worked on groups we belong to, our favorite story and our favorite food. 

Then we worked on our FAITH books. We reviewed the Sign of the Cross and the Trinity. 

We are getting very excited about making our First Holy Communion.

Hello Parents and Families, 

**Please Read the Important Information at the bottom of this Post**

During today's class we talked about Reconciliation. 

We talked about how sometimes we do things that do not make us feel good inside. When we do something that makes us sad inside or not proud of ourselves it is called a sin.  We talked about how we all make sins because we are human and nobody is perfect. We talked about how Jesus will always love us no matter what we do because he died on the cross for our sins. 

We talked about temptation and how we can ask an adult to help us take away the things that tempt us. 

We watched a little video that helped to explain Reconciliation a bit more. It talked about how when you sin you are pulling your hand away from Jesus but Jesus never turns away from us. 

We discussed different kinds of sins and how those are the things that we tell Jesus we are sorry for doing. We talked about how when we want to say I'm sorry to Jesus we can go to Reconciliation at church and talk to Father Pat.  

We wrote down in our Reconciliation Prayer something that we feel sorry for and how we could make a better choice next time. We told the children that they can take this paper to Reconciliation to help them when they tell Father Pat what they are sorry for. 

We also told them that they can take their Reconciliation Booklet because on page 11 is the Act of Contrition Prayer. If they forget the booklet there will be copies of the prayer in the Chapel. 

We read the book "Martha doesn't say sorry!" by Samantha Berger. This book showed the children how important it is to say I'm Sorry when we do something that we shouldn't have done. It ties right in to the idea of how we can say I'm sorry at our Reconciliation. 

At the end of class we filled out our Exit Tickets 

and I read a couple of scenarios from the book "I did it, I'm sorry." by Caralyn Buehner.
