Hi parents! Sent home with you was the Weekly for October 10. Please have your child complete these:

2nd Grade - Read the gospel (pg 2) and also complete the activity on back (pg 4)
3rd Grade - Read the Gospel (pg 2) and answer the questions. Play the game at least once with a family member. "Extra Credit": memorize and tell Ms. Kim the names of all 12 apostles in class for a surprise (note- this is ongoing, so they can try in future classes too).

Here's something just for you:
10 COMMANDMENTS FOR PARENTS
1. Thou shalt have priorities: The first priority is family.
2. Thou shalt honor thy child’s catechist: a good volunteer is an act of faith in your child.
3. Thou shalt talk positively about thine own church experiences: stories of your misadventures won’t help your children.
4. Thou shalt be interested in thy child’s faith formation and learning: don’t let them down when they need you most.
5. Thou shalt honor the mission of Faith Formation: remember, our mission is to get your child into heaven, not just through Confirmation.
6. Thou shalt go to Mass with thy child: after all, the family who prays AND eats together will become stronger together (and who better than Jesus to have at the table?).
7. Thou shalt know who thy child’s friends are: remember, kids act according to their friends.
8. Thou shalt allow thy child to experience consequences: constantly bailing them out won’t teach them anything.
9. Thou shalt recognize thy child’s efforts: remember, children do want to please their parents.
10. Thou shalt be thy child’s parent: they don’t need another friend, they DO need parents.
