STEWARDS of GOD'S CREATION
Religion Class
In honor of Earth Day, the 3rd grade is learning about how they are called to be stewards of God's creation. A steward is someone who takes care of something. In regard to our faith, it means taking care of the gifts God has given us. One such gift is creation. There are, however, many human actions that can harm creation. To help students visualize this, they participated in an oil-spill experiment. Students observed what happens to the water and bath toys (which represented marine life) when an oil spill occurs. Students recorded their observations and considered how difficult it would be to clean up the oil. We then discussed how stewardship involves using natural resources, like oil from fossil fuels, wisely and responsibly so as not to harm creation in the process.
Students in 3rd through 8th grade will be taking the CTP5 exam the week of May 3rd. Miss Hoffman will send a letter home with details about the testing next week.
- Looking forward, May is Asian and Pacific Islanders Heritage Month. If you have ideas or suggestions for our celebrations for those months, please email jmyers@holychildacademy.com.
