Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord,
make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is
hatred, let me sow love;
where there is
injury, pardon;
where there is
doubt, faith;
where there is
despair, hope;
where there is
darkness, light;
where there is
sadness, joy.
O divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as
to console,
to be understood as
to understand,
to be loved as to
love.
For it is in giving
that we receive,
it is in pardoning
that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Community Helpers
“Community helpers are people
who live and work in our communities. They do many different things to help us
every day. They provide us with goods (products we use) and services (things
they do for us). Some examples of community helpers are: doctors, nurses,
chefs, bakers, astronauts, soldiers, teachers, dentists, mail carriers, bus
drivers, coaches, babysitters, fishermen, plumbers, firefighters, farmers,
librarians, and volunteers. Think of all the people in your community who do
these jobs. Talk about these different jobs with your children. Your children
can learn a lot from community helpers!” by Julie A. Daymut,
M.A., CCC-SLP https://www.handyhandouts.com/viewHandout.aspx?hh_number=251&nfp_title=Community+Helpers+Help+Us+Learn!
Good Morning ESll Junior High Students, this week we will be learning

Community Helpers
I deliver mail to people. Who am I?
I clean people’s teeth. Who am I?
I teach children how to read and write? Who am I?

This week’s task:
Mother Mary, Pray for Us.
May is the Month of Mary
Catholics first started dedicating the month of May St. Mary around the end of the 13th century.
St. Mary is the Mother of Jesus. She was chosen by God to be the mother of his son.
She is the greatest of all saints and is an inspiration and role model for all of us.
The Blessed Virgin Mary is the Mother of the Church and therefore is a guide and inspiration, of everyone.
She was the first disciple of Jesus. She devoted her life to Jesus.
St, Mary is also our Mother. She is our spiritual mother.
St. Mary is our advocate; we can ask her to pray for us.
St. Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Her parents Anne and Joachim are also saints.
She also referred to as the Virgin Mary or Mary, Mother of God.
St. Gabriel the Archangel appeared to her and told her she would be the mother of Jesus, the son of God.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph are known as the Holy Family.
The Assumption of Mary is when her whole body went to heaven.
She is the patron saint of all humanity.
St. Mary has several feasts some of her prominent feast days are:
- January 1 – Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
- August 15 – The Assumption of St. Mary
- September 8 – The birth of St. Mary
- December 8 – Immaculate Conception of St. Mary
The month of May is also Mother’s Day celebration where we take the time to celebrate our wonderful and amazing mothers. This week, we will be reflecting, praying and creating art pieces about Mother Mary. To honor Mother Mary for the month of May, we can pray the rosary or pray the Hail Mary each day, include Mother Mary’s art piece or statue in our prayer corners at home or share our experiences about the many blessings a mother has for her child such as Mother Mary, who gave us Jesus her only begotten son who made the ultimate sacrifice for us all so that we can be saved from sin and live eternal life in heaven.
Task:
1 Color the picture and pray the Hail Mary. Include this art piece in your prayer corner at home, share with me your prayer corner via photos. Write a journal describing Mother Mary, use the information about Mother Mary above to guide your journal writing.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
the Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation".
To reduce some uncertainty and gain some sort of understanding
and control, here is our school's district calendar for 2019-2020 and 2020-2021. Your
child can count down the days until school reopens. This could be a fun and

Trust that you had a restful
Easter break:
Here are the April 20th Morning
Announcements including: Morning Prayer from Jesus Calling for Kids, Scripture
reading “Psalm 23”, April 20th
Psalm 23
"The Lord is
my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters;
He restores my soul. He leads me in right paths For His Name's sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies, You anoint my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life. And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord My whole life long".

Good morning ESll Junior High Family!
Can you believe we are entering into a new month in just a few days, how time
flies!
Task for the Week:
Practice reading and spelling sight words.
I will be emailing you frequently used sight words
that your child can practice throughout the week.
The goal is to:
Use phonics and structural analysis
- segment
and blend sounds in words spoken or heard
- use
phonic knowledge and skills to read unfamiliar words in context
- use
analogy to generate and read phonically regular word families
- associate
sounds with letters and some letter clusters
Alberta program of studies-English Language Arts.
Quick Draw
is a fun way to get your child learning how to read, spell, write and draw. Please
check the link below. It is free to use. This will be a great way to learn new sight words as they continue to work on their vocabularies.

“It is not for you to know the times or periods that
the Father has set by his own authority.” Acts. 1:7
This verse is a reminder that everything happens in God’s
timing, that God is in control. We do not know what will happen in the
next 10 minutes, in an hour, tomorrow, next week or next year. That
is not for us to know. All God is asking of us, is to trust
in Him and live in the moment. The present moment is a gift…live fully in
this gift from God.
In Christ,
