They come to school every day with an eager attitude to learn different things. Then they get excited when we do something new, especially in math and science. In math we have already begun to learn the meaning of multiplication and division. The students know how to solve problems by drawing pictures and making arrays. Soon they will have learned their first three times tables- 2 s, 5 s and 10 s. The class enjoys playing Math War using a deck of cards. It is a fun way to practice facts. In science the class has practiced the scientific method by doing activities. Our latest activity had us recreating the water cycle in a plastic bag. It was exciting to share some class time with the grandparents who were able to join us for Grandparents Day. Doing an art project was fun. All the grandparents really excelled at following the directions and helped their grandchildren make a Halloween decoration for their homes. We all had great fun. RESTAURANT NIGHT WITH ST.

MATKA BOŻA RÓŻAŃCOWA Październik jest w naszej katolickiej tradycji miesiącem modlitwy różańcowej. W szczególny sposób jesteśmy w tym miesiącu zaproszeni do wspólnej modlitwy różańcowej z Matką Najświętszą, zwaną także Matką Bożą Różańcową, którą w szczególny sposób czcimy 7 października. Tytuł ten w określeniu do Maryi, w odróżnieniu od innych tytułów i wezwań maryjnych, nie jest związany z określonym wizerunkiem, figurą, sanktuarium czy kościołem. Jest on natomiast związany z modlitwą i nabożeństwem różańcowym. Święto Matki Bożej Różańcowej, obchodzone 7 października, zostało ustanowione w rocznicę bitwy pod Lepanto (1571), kiedy to - dzięki żarliwej modlitwie różańcowej - państwa chrześcijańskie w cudowny sposób pokonały flotę Imperium Osmańskiego i powstrzymały tym samym islamizację Europy. W tej bitwie morskiej zwyciężyła bowiem wielka chrześcijańska armia: wojsko różańcowe. Tej logice dali najpiękniejszy wyraz Wenecjanie, którzy po bitwie wznieśli w swym mieście kaplicę Matki Bożej Różańcowej, a na jej ścianach wypisali słowa, które przeszły do legendy: on virtus, non arma, non duces, sed Mariae Rosiae victores nos fecit Nie odwaga, nie broń, nie dowódcy, ale Maria Różańcowa uczyniła nas zwycięzcami. Papież Pius V świadom tego, co się wydarzyło pod Lepanto ogłosił w 1572 roku ten dzień świętem Matki Bożej Zwycięskiej, które rok później, decyzją papieża Grzegorza XIII zmieniono na Święto Różańca. Na świecie znajdują się liczne świątynie dedykowane Matce Bożej Różańcowej, a wśród nich Sanktuarium Matki Bożej Różańcowej w Pompejach, ufundowane przez bł. Bartłomieja Longo, wielkiego czciciela Matki Bożej Różańcowej. Współcześnie kult modlitwy różańcowej związany jest ściśle z kultem i objawieniami Matki Bożej z Lourdes i Fatimy, która podczas swoich objawień gorąco nawołuje do modlitwy różańcowej, w intencji zagubionego świata i o pokój na świecie. Zapraszamy do wspólnej modlitwy różańcowej do naszej Parafii, przed każdą Mszą św. codziennie o 7:30 rano, oraz pół godziny przed polskimi Mszami. Zapraszamy na Mszę św. w środę, 7 października, o godz. 19:00!
