Interesting Events

Dear Readers,
      Today Charlie wrote back to us and told us that he is older than a sea turtle. We need to find out how old a sea turtle can be. We saw a movie about Our Lady of Guadalupe. It is her feast day today. She appeared to Juan Diego in Guadalupe, Mexico in the year 1531. Check our paper out tonight that is all about that story.
      We are continuing to learn about advent. Today we put a picture of a temple on the Jesse tree. Ask us about that story. In the gym we had an advent prayer service.
      We took a short trip to Mars. Ask us what we learned. We met an astronaut. Then we wrote about our planet on the computer. Our photo story is started!

  2. Hi 2B! We learned about Our Lady of Guadalupe too! Our Lady of Guadalupe is my favorite title for Mary! I love the story of Juan Diego. I love how Mary appeared to Juan Diego as an Aztec Princess. I also love how so many of the Aztecs wanted to become Christians after she appeared. In first grade I read the Tomie DePaolo story to our class. Do you know that when I get to the part where Juan shows the Bishop what he has in his tilma, I have to try really hard not to cry! The story is so beautiful. You will have to check out the picture of Our Lady across from our class rooom. We put paper 'roses' around it to honor Our Lady.
