Sacraments

In Holy Orders, a man can decide to become a priest.

Do you think it's fair that a priest can't get married? Why or why not?

Also, do you think a woman should be allowed to become a priest? Why or why not?

Question of the Week #6

Thanksgiving is only a few days away. It's a great time to get together with family and friends to share in a feast and enjoy one another. It's also a time to think about all our many blessings. This week's question is this:

What are some things you're thankful for? Why?

I hope all the students and families in 3B have a wonderful holiday. Happy Thanksgiving!

Question of the Week #5

The first trimester ended last Friday. That means we've completed about 12 weeks of school. On Friday, you'll receive your report card.

What have you enjoyed learning over the past couple of months? What has been challenging? What questions do you still have about any of the subjects?

For the next 12 weeks of school, we'll be learning more cursive letters, completing our literature circles, writing more paragraphs and starting multiplication. We'll also be getting ready for the Advent program in a couple weeks. There is a lot to do! Use the blue questions as your guide to answer this week's blog. Remember to check your work for mistakes. Have fun!

Question of the Week #4

Every year, Americans celebrate Veteran's Day on November 11th. Veteran's Day is a time to show our appreciation to all the soldiers past and present that serve in the Armed Forces (for example the Army, Navy, Air Force or Marines). By joining the Armed Forces, men and women often leave behind the comforts of their home and family to protect and serve the United States. In honor of this holiday, write a blog in the form of a note to a soldier. You can express your gratitude for their service to our country. You can wish them well. You can tell them if someone in your family was in the Armed Forces. At the end of the week, I'll print out everyone's responses and mail them to the soldiers who are currently serving in Iraq. This assignment is worth 2 extra credit points for your social studies grade.

Question of the Week #3

November 2nd is "All Soul's Day." This is a holy day to remember those people who have died before us. This week's question is this:

What do you think heaven is like?

Remember, there are no wrong answers here. Just explain how you picture heaven. What are people doing? What do they look like? How do they feel? What about Jesus? What about God? This week's question is worth 2 extra credit points for your religion grade if you post your comment on Monday, November 3rd.
