[The letter below was sent on 3-30-11 via email.]
Hello all,
Thanks to all who went to the choir concert this last Sunday. It was quite a performance.
This Sunday (4-3-11), we will be writing letters and/or drawing pictures for US Armed Forces personnel. Also, we can send them things they would like.
If you are willing and able, please bring to class this Sunday (sorry for the late notice):
1. Stationary for letters/pictures (for own student and/or others; we prob. won't use it all)
2. One or more of the following items: pudding cups,poptarts,granola bars, peanut butter, cheese crackers, candy bars, baby wipes.
Mrs. [CRE], "So I am also asking the children to give up a treat and then use that money to buy one of the items noted above. ... I am hoping that this project will allow the children to share more fully in the Lenten Journey while also demonstrating to all of us that the efforts of children do much to deepen our own spirituality during the season of pilgrimage."
As far as visiting the Little Sisters of the Poor, how is 4-10-11 (we will go to their mass at 10:30)? If not, we can always go after school ends (last day 5-15-11). All the other days are no school and/or an event. Please let me know.
Thank you,
[the teacher]

The Apostles' Creed
Here's the text of The Apostles' Creed:
Parents: This prayer was given to the students in November of last year.
I will be testing the memorization of the prayer in March.
Please help your student with the memorization of this prayer (I have already sent flash cards home for study).
I believe the best way to study this is to take one paragraph/section and read it once a day until it is memorized.

For Parents and Students after 1/23/2011 class
(Please see me at Church or in class for comments about doing these video homework exercises at home with your child/student. I think they are worth while, short, and get you and your child/student to think about God (etc) together. This should be the last video homework for a while. Thanks.)
The Homework:
What is sin?
This homework worksheet is designed to be completed by a parent/guardian in collaboration with their student. Further, the parent/guardian is encouraged to talk about what is being said in the video to answer the questions below.
Directions:
1. Listen to a video at the class website, http://sundayschool34.blogspot.com/, on the post entitled “For Parents and Students after 1/23/2011 class”. The video is entitled, “Fr. Barron comments on The Fall” [Here's the link].
2. Answer the following questions.
(a) According to the video above, in one sentence (with at least five (5) words), describe or define sin.
(b) The video referenced the (Catholic) Bible and other writings that included:
(1) The story of Adam and Eve in Genesis;
(1a) The Trinity
(2) The Widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17);
(3) The Women at the Well;
(4) The Prodigal Son;
(5) A U.S. Supreme Court opinion;
(6) A quote of Blaise Pascal.
Choose one of the references above ((1) to (6)) to answer the following question:
How does one of the references above ((1) to (6)) relate to your answer to part (a) above? In other words, what does the description or definition of sin (part (a) above) have to do with one of the references above ((1) to (6))?
Write 3 or more sentences (with at least four words in each sentence) to answer this question. Use the back of this paper if more room is needed to write the answer. Draw a picture (in addition to the sentences) if it helps in explaining your answer.
