-Religion-how do Martin Luther King Jr. and St. Peter Claver embody the Catholic beliefs of Social Justice and performing Corporal Works of Mercy? How can students follow their example? Over the next couple of weeks we will be exploring and learning about the different areas of Catholic Social Justice and Corporal Works of Mercy. There will be many guest speakers....some who have shown social justice and mercy and some who have benefited from social justice and mercy. Tomorrow, students will hear the story of Nadine Nzabo and her courageous journey of being forced to leave her school in the Congo and brought to Uganda as a refugee, never to see her family again.
No spelling packet this week. There IS spelling homework. Kids are responsible for knowing the correct spelling of the word and the definition of the word. Definitions will be provided on the test. The kids will match the word to the correct definition.
