Third Grade News and Homework for the Week of September 30, 2019

I hope everyone had a restful three day weekend. We have a full week of school this week. Yippee!

Thank you, to those who brought in your VOSS water bottles. I know many of you had a hard time finding one and I am sorry for that. Apparently, many of you found them at Safeway. I found some at Deluxe yesterday, but they did not have the gray top, which is fine. I bet next week you will see them everywhere. I purchased the rest of the ingredients for our science investigation. We will be doing one of the investigations on Wednesday and the other one on Thursday afternoon.

We are moving right along with our units and I am happy for the full week of school with no interruptions. My goal is to read through chapter 5 in Cricket in Times Square this week.

Please remember to bring your packets and books back and forth to school everyday.

Also, remember you need a complete heading on your papers when you answer the chapter questions.

Not having a heading will lower your grade:(

6. What does it mean to be Catholic?

A Catholic is a Christian who believes that God, the creator of heaven and earth is revealed to all people through Jesus Christ.

The purpose of life is to KNOW, LOVE, AND SERVE GOD. We achieve through divine worship and service to others.

A Catholic is a member of the original undivided Church founded by Jesus Christ himself. As a Catholic you are in a worldwide community of people God has called to share the life, light and love of Jesus Christ.

The Four Marks of the Church:

One: In word, authority (Pope) and worship.

Holy: truly believing in Christ’s teachings and serving others through the sacraments.

Catholic: embracing all people, of all times, and all places. We are the universal church.

Apostolic: Just like the apostles, our priests and bishops carry Christ’s message to all the people through all the centuries.

Some words to know:

Blessed Trinity: 3 persons one God. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Bible: God’s Holy Word inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Mary: The Mother of God. Born without original sin.

Pope: The head of the Catholic Church. Represents Jesus on Earth.

Sin: Separation from God. Venial sin and Mortal sin.

Sacraments: A living sign that Christ is presence on earth. With each sacrament our relationship is deepened in Christ.
