Dear Parents,
Last Wednesday the children brought home the books they will be using this year for Family Faith. Second graders brought home their Reconciliation books. Each month the children will be assigned two chapters to be completed at home with you. It seems to work best to schedule a regular 20-30 minute time to do this together. Make sure your child completes the chapter review at the end of the chapter and brings his or her book back on November 7. (Kindergarteners and Second Graders just complete the pages in the chapter since there is no review page) The children will receive a "Bag Tag" for each chapter assigned and completed at home and they really look forward to that. I can't stress enough how important your involvement is to your children's faith development!
I will send you a Family Faithlinks email like this twice a month. These emails include the lesson guides and resources you need to work with your children on the chapters covered at home. The links to resources relate to the themes and concepts that are presented in the lesson.
Scroll down to the resources suggested
for your child's grade level
and click on the blue link to see the resources for the chapter your child will be covering this week. All of the clickable links will be in bright blue. The video links I include are always under 3 minutes but are very helpful to children that are so media motivated these days.
As you use these links with your children, I want you to know that I always welcome and appreciate your feedback. Let me know what you find helpful and feel free to make suggestions! I will keep your ideas in mind as I continue to create these pages for you each month. Let me know how you like the new format for Family Faith this year (Beginning with a short prayer service and ending with small group discussion.)
See you again Wednesday, November 7! Email me with any questions you might have-
Blessings to you and your family as you begin this new year growing in faith together!
