WEEK 15 -- Feb. 21-27

Hello,

Welcome to the 15th week of Fourth Grade Religious Ed.

Continuing on our lesson of the Beatitudes, let's recall the following beatitudes:

1. The first beatitude is "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" People who are poor in spirit are grateful for what they have and know that they can depend on God first.
2. The second beatitude is "Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted" People who mourn are sad, and it's okay to be sad. Sometimes when we feel sad or cry it helps us feel better.
3. The third beatitude is "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land" People who are meek don't brag and don't show off. Instead they are patient and kind.
4. The fourth beatitude is "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness" People who hunger and thirst for righteousness want all to be treated fairly. Sometimes we make mistakes, but that's okay. It happens and we will try to do better next time. We try to be more like Jesus. Please watch a video from Douglas to learn more about the fourth beatitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5JR8AHpMsg

Also, this past week was Ash Wednesday. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. During Lent is when we really try to be more like Jesus, and prepare for Easter. And just as Douglas mentioned in the video, the Fourth Beatitude reminds us to be more like Jesus.

Please also read Unit 4 Session 20, Celebrating Lent and Holy Week (pages 163 - 167), and email me back with any Lenten promises (see p.164) that you will do during Lent. As an example, my sons, Ro and PJ, promise to really try to be nicer to each other during lent. PJ also gave up chocolate for lent, and Ro gave up YouTube so he can spend more time helping his parents out instead of watching YouTube.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Thank you

WEEK 12 -- Jan. 31 - Feb. 6

Hello,

Welcome to the 12th week of Fourth Grade Religious Ed.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season!

Let's start the year with The Beatitudes. The Beatitudes are the teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1-10). You can find them on p.56 of your book. Jesus teaches us that if we live according to the Beatitudes, we will live a happy Christian life. The Beatitudes inspire us to live our lives by making the right choices and doing good just as Jesus did, and when we do this we lead a happy life.

The first beatitude is 'blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven" People who are poor in spirit are grateful for what they have and know that they can depend on God first. Please watch this video on the first beatitude. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QgeNDb1nck. Over the next couple of weeks, we will continue to watch videos on the rest of the Beatitudes while continuing our lessons in our books.

Please also read and complete Unit 2, Session 7: p.55 - 59 (The Beatitudes) and then complete the interactive review on this link: https://isr.findinggod.com/fg_g4_s7
and follow the prompt at the end of the review and email the results to sainteulaliafourthgrade@gmail.com .

WEEK 11 -- Dec. 20-26

Hello,

Welcome to the 11th week of Fourth Grade Religious Ed.

As we prepare for Christmas day, let's remember what we are celebrating...Jesus' birthday! On this day we are also thankful to God for the gift of his son, Jesus, our Lord and Savior. And let's continue to follow in Jesus' footsteps by spreading love and peace during the season. The cards were a great start...so maybe we can continue in Jesus' footsteps with a little less fighting with your brother or sister, or a little more listening to Mom and Dad or something extra helpful for a friend or neighbor. I'm sure you can find many ways to spread love and peace this season!

Please read and complete Unit 3, Session 15: p.121 - 125 (Celebrating Christmas) and then complete the interactive review -- 
https://isr.findinggod.com/fg_g4_s15 -- and follow the prompt at the end of the review and email the results to sainteulaliafourthgrade@gmail.com .

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Remember we will be on winter break from December 27th - January 24th. Our first day back will be Jan. 31 (week 12).

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Peace and joy to everyone!

Thank you

WEEK 10 -- Dec. 13-19

Hello,

Welcome to the 10th week of Fourth Grade Religious Ed.

Thank you for sharing all the beautiful cards last week. I am sure you made some hospital workers very happy! By the way, there were two students who contacted Mrs Clancy for addresses of hospital workers. However they didn't leave an email address for her to contact you back. If you are still looking for a hospital worker to send a card to, please let Mrs Clancy know. Her email address is religioused@saint-eulalia.com

Tomorrow, December 13th is the third Sunday of Advent. Advent is a time to prepare to celebrate Jesus's birth, Christmas.

Please read about Advent on p. 213 - 215 in your book and watch this video (watch up to 3:30, as we do not have an advent calendar that is mentioned at the end of the video). 

Parents, please respond to this email once the assignment has been completed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you

WEEK 9 -- Dec. 6-12

Hello,

Welcome to the 9th week of Fourth Grade Religious Ed.

This week let's take the time to thank our doctors and nurses who have been working so hard to take care of many sick people during COVID. Please write a christmas card/thank you card to two hospital workers. You can write in a card or make your own card. As an example, please see the ones my younger son, PJ, wrote to his aunt and uncle last March.

You can either write the cards to someone you know or write to someone in the parish.

If you choose to write someone in the parsh, please complete this form on the link https://forms.gle/aPFXg37CzNK4Z6bJA Mrs. Clancy will give you some members in the church who work in a hospital. Please use the parish mailing address, 214 Blue Shutters Road, Roaring Brook, PA 18444, as the return address. Once completed, you can drop them off in a waterproof box outside the lower level entrance of the Conlan Center of the church.

Parents, please just respond to me that the assignment was completed. If you can share a pic of the card that would be great!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend!

WEEK 6 -- Nov. 8-14

Hello

Welcome to the 6th week of Fourth Grade Religious Education

With this gorgeous weather, please go out and enjoy some time with the family. Perhaps take a walk or have a fire and enjoy nature. Last night I enjoyed a campfire and this morning I went for a run outside. I felt so lucky to be able to do all these things with my family and friends.

Recall in Unit 1 Session 1 (God Creates the World), you learned about God creating the world and how we can thank God for this gift by taking care of it. For example, some of the things you can do to care for the world include recycling or picking up litter. Please watch this quick video of what you can do to take care of the earth (and help out at the house).

Please respond to this email and let me know how you enjoyed the earth and great weather this past weekend and one thing you do or did to take care of the earth.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Have a great weekend!

Thank you
