Religion -- Seeds, for 2/21/21, Jesus teaches Good News about God. Here is the Gospel story for this Sunday: Jesus went to the desert, which was a very quiet place, to pray to God. Jesus stayed there for forty days. When He was finished Jesus left the desert and returned to the Sea of Galilee. “I have Good News for you,” Jesus said to everyone He met. “God loves you very much.” He went from village to village telling this Good News.
Discuss with your child the cover illustration. Identify Jesus. Ask, “What is happening?”, “What is Jesus telling the people?”, and “Do you think this news made the people happy?”
Pg 2 - Who teaches you to pray? Have your child examine and describe the illustrations to you. Top: Mary and Jesus; middle: people praying in church; bottom: a girl reaching for holy water in the font at church. Note the words next to each illustration. Have your child trace over the dotted lines of each word as you read the words. Do the same with the cross at the bottom, having your child pray the sign of the cross.
Ask, “Who is helping you learn these prayers?” We pray the Sign of the Cross and the Hail Mary here at school.
Perhaps you can pray the Our Father at home!
Pgs 3 & 4 - Separate pgs 3 & 4 from pgs 2& 3, have your child cut on the heavy black lines. For the “Watch me grow during Lent” booklet, allow your child to color the flower and assist your child in filling out the Good News About Me section. Read the title, “Watch me grow during Lent,” explaining that Lent is a time when we grow in loving God and in showing love to one another. Then tell your child to lift the flap to see his/her flower grow!
On the yellow booklet, have your child write his/her name on the cross where it says, “I am _________, a child of God.” Explain that these are three very important prayers to know. Point out that we already pray two of these prayers at school! Perhaps your child can learn the Our Father at home!
Language Arts - the letter R-r - have your child identify the letter R-r, trace R-r, name and color R-r pictures
Math - Seven Caterpillars - have your child identify #7, count and color 7 caterpillars, and trace #7.
Can your child write his/her own #7?
