for those who are ill that they may recover quickly and return to us well
for the football teams that they may be successful
for us to remain healthy
CE
We assigned prayer dates for pairs to lead the class in prayer.
We read the first section of the textbook that shows how the Bible is a love letter from God and worked on a journal response: An Important Promise. What is the most important promise you have ever made? Write about what that promise has meant to you and what difficulties (if any) you have faced in keeping it.
We worked on our t-shirts from Camp Jubilee.
Homework: Complete the journal response if you didn't finish it in class.
English/SS
We handed in homework from Friday.
We started off with silent reading, and some students went to the library to take AR quizzes.
We finished off our t-shirts.
We reviewed parts of speech: IVAN CAPP (Interjection, Verb, Adjective, Noun, Conjunction, Adverb, Preposition, Pronoun
We played a game of Scattergories using parts of speech for the categories.
Because of the number of missing students, we kept things simple today. The only assigned homework is for those who did not complete the journal writing (promise). Of course, you should all be reading 20-30 minutes every day.

Getting started
We had our first school Mass today, and I am pleased that everyone was so well-behaved and reverent for the service. We went over some business today (seating arrangements, binder organization, distributing Bibles) and discussed the ten reasons for studying the Bible (handout).
In Social Studies, we worked on some geography. We used these handouts:
1) Continents and Oceans
2) Locating the Continents and Oceans
We worked on these handouts in class and went over the answers for the first handout. The second handout is for homework if you did not complete it in class. I will collect it next class (Friday). Also, if you did not finish colouring the first handout, please do so.
Next Day 2, we will visit the school library during "G" block and get started on the Acclerated Reader Program.
