This week, we talked about the next line of the Creed, "The Father Almighty." In 1st through 6th grade, we discussed all the good things that our Daddy's do for us, and how God the Father takes such good care of us. He talked about how he knows everything about us because He created us, and also that He is perfect. We did the worksheets together in class.
Then we looked at the cursive worksheets that had the CCM memory work. The fours marks of the Church were discussed. The Church is One because we are the one true Faith. The Church is Holy because the Holy Spirit keeps the Church pure. We are Catholic, or universal, because the Church is for all people for all times. And the Church is Apostolic because we are founded by the witnesses and first priests, the apostles. 1st through 4th grades then cut out pictures of a church with doors opening that had the words "One, Holy Catholic, and Apostolic."
5th and 6th grades did a seed mosaic craft after talking about Ember Days. Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of this week are days of fasting and/ or abstinence from meat as the Church prays for the "harvest" of priestly vocations and growth in the one true Faith.
Catholic. Tridentine. Classic. An Extraordinary Homeschool Cooperative for Grades Pre-K to 6th.
