Published by Mrs. McMahon (1B) January 2nd, 2010 in Announcements.
Welcome back from the wonderful time of relaxation with your family. Hopefully, we all had enough extra fun, family and food to satisfy us, so that we are ready to come back to some serious work in the New Year!
Religion – We will study the Lords’s Prayer, The Our Father this week. We will think about when, where and how we can pray. We will discuss different ways to pray and hopefully decide to pray every day. Your child will be tested on the prayer “Glory Be” during the next few weeks. Also a religion test for the Unit will be given the week of January 11.
