May 7 Thursday

Good morning! Have you watched the torch going around the United States?

Tomorrow is your Virtual Field Day! Remember field day is all about having fun! You can include younger brothers and sisters so they can be part of the FUN!

Please email me by 10:00AM so I can take and submit attendance.

Let’s begin our day with prayer. Please continue the fourth decade of the Rosary. If you have Rosary Beads you can use them.

If you have any special intentions please finish with the Glory Be to the Father. (You may want to pray for anyone who is sick or in the hospital. They need our prayers!)

Please say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Remember Mother’s Day is on this Sunday, May 10th. Try to think of some things to do to make the day special. You heard some things in the book about Moms. Here are some things I like:
·       Clean up without being asked to
·       Make a Happy Mother’s Day card
·       Help make a special dessert
·       HUGS and KISSES
·       Special breakfast (maybe in bed, but don’t wake her up too early)
·       More HUGS and KISSES
·       Go to church together (watch it on TV or the computer) They give Moms a special Blessing
·       Set the table
·       Go to bed without complaining
·       Even MORE HUGS AND KISSES
