Grade 6 - ReligionWeekly Recap 5/20/22
These past weeks have seen us continuing our unit on prayer. Studies learned about the seven petitions that make up the Our Father prayer. Last week, students completed a hands-on activity related to this as well, which involved cutting, matching, and glueing.
This past week we focused on "The Holy Rosary." Students watched a video about the history of The Holy Rosary. Students also completed a webquest where they had to identify important historical dates related to the Rosary as well as identify the mysteries of the Rosary.
On Thursday, 5/19/22, of this past week students took an exam which included the five forms of prayer, the three expressions of prayer, and the seven petitions of the Our Father.
May is the month of Mary, so we started praying a decade of the Rosary in each class, and will continue until the end of the month.
May 26th is the Feast of the Ascension. It is a holy day of obligation. Students will be attending Mass on this day.
June 3rd is the sixth grade Mass. Students will provide service at the Holy Mass as readers, altar servers and ushers.
