This Religion assignment is to be done as a journal entry in your child's Dojo portfolio:
Religion--if we were in school today, we would be opening our Lenten promises that we made on Ash Wednesday. We would have read them to see if we were successful at keeping the promises we made to Jesus. Today, think about your promises--Were you successful or did you fall short of keeping your promise? What were some of the reasons you did so well with keeping it? What were some of the reasons that made it hard for you to keep it? Write a couple of sentences in your portfolio journal about your promise. Use the questions above to help you.
ELA-Actively Learn assignment--this month I would have started poetry lessons with the class. The poem on Actively Learn, "Casey at Bat", would have been the first poem I would do with them. Please make sure they click on the highlighted portions of the poem as I have added some insight into those sections.
