May 15 Class News































I thought I'd add some of our most recent pictures. These include our praying the rosary a decade at a time with the third graders and Mrs. Starosta. We pray for Mrs. Punjak and others who need our prayers. I really like this feeling of unity as we join our hearts and prayers.
Today we went to MMC and had some really great lessons! Thank you to Cindy Johnson and Jenny Korpela for driving and helping chaperone! The most impressive lessons were the Don't Smoke and the Nutrition. The ladies had some very good visuals about the lungs and the amount of sugar in foods and beverages. I imagine some of the kids told you about these - I know my granddaughters came home yesterday with this information, and it made an impression on them. The kids also enjoyed the PT activities. They love to move! We got to see the ambulance and a demonstration on germs and handwashing. I felt this was a very worthwhile outing. Adam got to experience the heart monitoring and is showing his adhesive souvenirs as well as his muscles in the picture.
I also included pictures of Brooke, Father Frank, and her mom and grandmothers ( 4 generations!). Brooke received a very special rosary at Mass Wednesday. It was sent by our Bishop and was blessed by the Holy Father!! It was awesome! The Holy Father sent them to the bishops and asked that the rosaries be given to one of this year's First Communicants whose birthday is closest to his. It was Brooke, so she was able to receive this very special gift. I know she will treasure it always!
Next week we will be reading the last story from our Reading book, and the following week will be theme skills tests. In Math we are moving right along and are now into fractions! We are learning about Weather in Science , and in Social Studies we are studying about our government. We just had our Unit Test in Religion.
Have a good evening!
