"Food for your Faith" - September 20
by the Holy Redeemer Faith Formation Commission A great treasure of our Catholic faith is the unity that it offers us through the saying of the mass and specifically the daily readings which, although spoken in different languages, are the same throughout the world. That familiarity can be felt and practiced each day, even if you cannot attend daily mass, through the use of a monthly magazine such as “The Magnificat.” “The Magnificat” is a rich resource complete with the daily readings and reflections, Saint stories, a monthly Lectio Divina, morning and evening prayer, the order of the mass, and MUCH more! When daily mass is not an option due to work schedules, transportation, appointments, or other demands, The Magnificat offers you a close substitution for receiving the fruits of daily mass short of receiving the Eucharist. When you know you’re sharing in the reading that thousands of subscribers are also participating in you feel this sense of community as if you’re completing a bible study around the world. A yearly subscription includes a hard copy as well as a digital version with an app. It even offers “The Magnifikid” to begin teaching your children the importance of daily scripture and prayer. A yearly subscription makes a great gift! This month’s “Food for your Faith” have been recommended for you by Faith Formation Commission member,Emily Hamilton.

From the Holy Redeemer School
Third Grade News – Mrs. Whitney Third graders have reading the book, Penguin Chick, which tells about penguins how they care for their young. Students gathered interesting facts about penguins to display in our hallway. In Math, students have been learning to multiply using 0, 1, 2, 5, 9, and 10 as factors. They learned that skip counting can be used as a strategy for multiplication facts using 2, 5, or 10. For Social Studies, we have been discussing communities. Students should come to understand that people live, work, and play in communities and that there are many different types of communities. The question “How does where you live affect how you live?” will lead us into discussions about urban, suburban, and rural communities. Fifth Grade News – Ms. Harter 5th graders are learning how to use information from a text to answer questions. They understand how important it is to be clear and complete, and to use details in their answers. Students revised their ‘wimpy’ answers to create fantastic paragraphs! We have been reading about women who faced great odds to achieve great things, like Marie Curie and Amelia Earhart. Do you know which state first gave women the right to vote? Ask a 5th grader! In math, place value proved to be a little tricky, as we learned about the tenths, hundredths, and thousandths places. But adding and subtracting decimals was a breeze. Even the tricky ones were no problem for these guys! Students learned about the mountains and rivers in the United States and how the first natives got here. In the computer lab, we’ll prepare slide shows that demonstrate how the natives throughout North America adapted to their environment. Can’t wait to see their first slide presentations!
