5 Friday
Good
morning! Happy Friday!!
We
have Mass today at 11:00. (Please sign on early about 10:50ish.) The 8th
grade will be wearing their caps and gowns. This is a special Mass for them
because they are graduating. We may not be able to see them, but we will be
thinking of them and praying for them.
Sunday
is the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity.
Let’s
begin our day with a prayer to the blessed Trinity.
Glory be to one God,
Three Persons in one.
Glory be to the Father,
Who created me.
Glory be to the Son,
Who died for me.
Glory be to the Spirit
Who gives me His help.
Glory be to the Three Persons
Of the Holy Trinity,
Now and for ever.
Amen.
Here
are links to a video and song about the Blessed Trinity.

(they may need to ask which /ur/ spelling, this is normal at this stage)

(One clue I give them is that –er happens a lot
at the end of a word.)

*make new words with -er, -ir, or -ur spellings
(When we do this at school they have alphabet tiles or
flashcards. You can also make a template on paper or a whiteboard with er , ir ,
and ur and then have your child add letters to make words.)
(If they make a mistake, explain it is tricky and help
correct the mistake.)
