We are created in God's image so we are able to think, love, and make choices.
Creation reflects the beauty, wisdom, and goodness of God.
Respect for life : respect for the unborn, elderly, and the handicapped
Conscience formation is a lifelong process. It means learning to know and to choose the good that God wants for us. It is through conscience that we judge whether an act is right or wrong. Free will is the ability to make choices. The sources of conscience formation are: scripture, church teachings, and examples by good people.
Know the six steps for making a good moral choice. MEMORIZE THESE STEPS in notebook.
Temptation is NOT sinful but can cause us to make selfish choices.
Examination of conscience is the act of determining whether the choices we have made showed love for God, ourselves, and others. (See text pp. 62-63).

True freedom comes from following Jesus' Law of Love. The more one does what is good , the freer one becomes. There is no true freedom except of what is good and just.
Ten Commandments- law of God to do good and avoid evil given to Moses on Mount Sinai. The first three deal with love of God and the last seven deal with love of neighbor. MEMORIZE EACH OF THE TEN COMMAMDMENTS.
Jesus' Two Great Commandments: "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. And you shall love your neighbor as yourself." MEMORIZE
Jesus' New Commandment: " Love one another. Such as my love has been for you, so must you love be for one another." MEMORIZE

Many, many thanks for the lovely Christmas gifts! I hope you all had a peaceful and blessed holiday. This Friday all students will be receiving Progress Reports. This week third and fourth graders will need to work on completing (and in some cases redoing) all parts of their project. As I entered grades, I noticed that some students still need to complete the five vocabulary definitions related to their project and the cover sheet print out picture that were assigned for homework. I will inform these students on Tuesday and all must be in NO LATER THAN THURSDAY so projects can be completed by Friday.
I will be sending home all corrected quizzes as well this week so students can begin reviewing for Mid -term Exams. Next week I will be sending home additional Religion Review notes that must be studied thoroughly.
Please see below for this week's homework:
