In this year as we learn about the Virtue of Faith here are some at-home suggestions:
Kindness to others: Ask your child if they have signed the SJS "kindness pledge" in their classroom and how they are doing in keeping it. It's important to help them look for opportunities to be kind at school and at home; and to let them know it when you see them being kind.
Reading stories about the lives of saints or Bible stories written especially for children can help you to talk about life choices, daily struggles and our Catholic values.You can also ask your child about the saints they are learning about in school and discuss ways to be more like that saint.

Respect for God’s gifts to us: how do we discover our unique gifts and use them for God's glory? How do I see the goodness in those around me?
Here are a few websites with faith-based crafts and free ideas for families. They provide a great way to reinforce what your students are learning in school and also to build fun family traditions.
