A Prayer for your Advent Angel and a little snack it due
It can be just a little prayer you wrote for your advent angel ~
Example  ~ Dear Bethany, today you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  I hope you have a great day – Good Luck on your Reading Test today – I know you’ll do great and I’m praying for you!  Love your advent angel
Then you need to decorate it and attach a little snack to it.

A letter to your Advent Angel telling them about a character trait that you admire in them is due – with a little treat/gift – like cookies or a candy bar or chapstick.
The letter must be kind and sincere – AND about a character trait.  I have a list of character traits attached to help you with this.
Then decorate the letter and attach a little treat or gift
When I check that I have all 19 kind, sincere letters and a treat attached ~ then They will be handed out on Friday.
Remember to write who the prayer/snack and letter/treat is to –
BUT it is from Advent Angel
To make things easier -  both the prayer and snack and the letter and treat can be handed in on Monday – then given out on Wednesday and Friday

Hello 6th grade,

Just a reminder -  Tuesday November 30 is a dress down day - for earning your Peace Points for October.
Great Job 6th grade!  I am so proud of you!






HELLO 5-8 Grade!
HAPPY TUESDAY!

Hello 6th Grade,

ASH WEDNESDAY AND LENT

Ash Wednesday
Take inspiration for your Lenten journey from prayer and the reading of Scripture, from fasting and from giving alms. 
Prayer – Lent is essentially an act of prayer spread out over 40 days. As we pray, we are brought closer to Christ and are changed by the encounter with him. 
Fasting – The fasting that we all do together on Fridays is but a sign of the daily Lenten discipline of individuals and households: fasting for certain periods of time, fasting from certain foods, but also fasting from other things and activities. 
Almsgiving – The giving of alms is an effort to share this world equally—not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. 

• Spend 15 minutes in quiet time with Jesus
• Listen to Christian Rock KLOVE 106.9 FM
• Watch videos about your faith such as Kid Catholic

Stay healthy!


Wow - this virus is spreading like crazy - 
I will clean the room thoroughly on Monday! 
Thank you for your help in supplying cleaning supplies :) 
But let's look at the bright side - 
Mandatory Family Time :)  
Enjoy your time with your family :) 
I wish it was a fun snow day family fun and not a virus family fun - but let's make the most of it :)  




Happy Lent Everyone
I know it's odd to say Happy Lent -
But let's take this time of fasting, almsgiving and prayer to get closer to God!
What a great time of year -
A time set aside to focus on our relationship with God.  
May God Bless in you all you do this Lent 



Thank you all so much for my Get Well, Valentine's Day and Birthday Gift Basket!  It was chock full of goodies!  It was so much fun opening up all the surprises!  Thank you!
I can't wait to be back on Wednesday Feb 19!


You may find a Title I Family Survey in your child’s folder tonight. The youngest and only in each family received one. Please complete it and return it by Tuesday, February 18.  Understand that your responses remain anonymous, and the data collected may influence the support we receive from your respective school districts.
 
 



Happy Catholic Schools' Week!!!

I am so proud and blessed to work in a Catholic School! 
Here I can live and share my faith. 
I can live and share my love for God, for the blessed trinity. 
Here I can show my joy in my love of Jesus every day! 
Here I can share my faith with everyone! 
Here I can learn and grow in my faith. 
Catholic Schools prepare students for life,
but more importantly Catholic Schools prepare students for God!
Here students see their faith modeled
Here the students learn about their faith
Here the students learn to pray and worship
Here the students learn see God in others
Here the students talk to God everyday
May God Bless our Catholic Schools!

ADVENT ANGELS
 
For each week of Advent you will pick a new Advent Angel
On Monday Dec 2; Monday Dec 9; and Monday Dec 16
A Prayer for your Advent Angel and a little snack it due
It can be just a little prayer you wrote for your advent angel ~
Example  ~ Dear Bethany, today you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  I hope you have a great day – Good Luck on your Reading Test today – I know you’ll do great and I’m praying for you!  Love your advent angel
Then you need to decorate it and attach a little snack to it.
When I check that I have all 12 prayers and snacks – then they will be handed out on Wednesday
On Wednesday Dec. 4; Wednesday Dec. 11 and Wednesday Dec. 18
A letter to your Advent Angel telling them about a character trait that you admire in them is due – with a little treat/gift – like cookies or a candy bar or chapstick.
The letter must be kind and sincere – AND about a character trait.  I have a list of character traits attached to help you with this.
Then decorate the letter and attach a little treat or gift
When I check that I have all 12 kind, sincere letters and a treat attached ~ then They will be handed out on Friday.
To make things easier -  both the prayer and snack and the letter and treat can be handed in on Monday – then given out on Wednesday and Friday
Merry Christmas
Happy Birthday Jesus

FALL has finally and officially arrived in Phoenixville!  Some days it feels like we need winter coats and some days we want to wear shorts.  
As the winter weather rolls in - please know that my classroom is on the end of the building and gets afternoon sun - so in the morning it is chilly and in the afternoon, when the sun hits it, it warms up.  If possible please send your child in with a school approved sweatshirt for morning math.  
Also, please remember that we go out to recess every day, and some days we walk to the chapel for prayer services and Mass.  So please be aware of the weather and make sure the students are dressed for the weather each day.
Thank you!

9/26/19 - On 9/25/19 the students reached their Peace Points Goal for the month!  I am so proud of them!  They are a great Class!  What we concentrated on was greeting people especially adults in the hallway or classroom, helping another student or teacher, reverence and respect in Church, and being quiet when it is required and praying respectfully as a class.
Now they just have to keep the points and not lose any by September 30!  I think they can!
The reward will be an ice cream bar!
They really are doing great this first month of school!
Thank you for your wonderful children!
