Introduction

Attention! Yesterday was the feast of John Paul 2nd.  
Task

You and your classmates will do some research about Saint Pope John Paul II.  You will create a poster with the most important facts about him. First, you need a sheet of paper, and your invisible investigator hats. 

Process
Step 1: Write down Pope John Paul II's real name, before he became Pope (hint: see the links below!)
Step 2: On your sheet of paper, answer the following questions:
     1) When was he born, and when did he die?
     2) Where did he live?
     3) What were three great things he did to lead Catholics closer to God?
     4) What miracle(s) have been done for his beatification and canonization?
Step 3: Take this information, and make a large poster which includes
     1) A visual of Saint Pope John Paul II
     2) Information about when and where he lived
     3) 3 important bits of information about his life

Here are some helpful websites to use during your search for information and visuals:

Day's Notes

What is Water?

- All living things need water. We need water to survive

-Towns and cities are built around water.

-Pure Water has no taste, no colour and no smell.  Water in nature ( oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds ) is not pure. 

-Many substances can dissolve in water.  Most of the human body is water. Plants and animals are made  up of water. 

- Water is important because is keeps us alive :

1) It keeps us cool- We sweat.

2)  Water transports substances around our body

3) We need  clean water to be healthy

4) Water is an important solvent in which  important chemical reactions can take place.

HISTORY

Today we discussed  THE FINANCIAL REASONS FOR CONFEDERATION

A Change in Britain’s Attitude    

England did not want to be responsible for taking care of the colonies anymore.
Up until this time, England took care of BNA colonies since England needed this land for a souce of food. England bought a great deal of the food that grew in North America, but now England did not want to buy their food only from its colonies. It also wanted to do business with other countries. So, if the colonies came together to form a country, then together they would make their business stronger. 

Change in US  Trade Policy

In 1865-6, the Reciprocity Treaty between BNA and the United States ended. The United States no longer wanted free trade with BNA. 

HISTORY

Before 1867, Canada was called British North America (BNA). It was not a country. It was divided into areas called colonies. A colony is an area under the control of another country. Britain was the mother country of these colonies. 
It defended its colonies in British North America and had a special trade relationship with them.

 Why did  the colonies of British North America joined together to become the country of Canada. 

This joining together of colonies into a country is called Confederation. 

Today we discussed that fear of American attack.

HAPPY ST JOSEPH'S DAY

St. Joseph’s Prayer

Oh, St. Joseph, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God. I place in you all my interests and desires. Oh, St. Joseph, do assist me by your powerful intercession, and obtain for me from your Divine Son all spiritual blessings, through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

So that, having engaged here below your heavenly power, I may offer my thanksgiving and homage to the most loving of Fathers. Oh, St. Joseph, I never weary of contemplating you, and Jesus asleep in your arms; I dare not approach while He reposes near your heart.

Press Him in my name and kiss His fine head for me and ask him to return the Kiss when I draw my dying breath. St. Joseph, Patron of departing souls – Pray for Me.

Amen

 Novena to St. Joseph

Saying a St Joseph Novena can be an effective way to get what you’re asking for. Say these prayers for nine days in a row. Pray with the same cause in your mind each day, and really mean the words you say.

Day 1: Oh God, guide of those who listen and helper of those who hear your voice, speak to me, as you did to St. Joseph, and help me accomplish the things you give me to do .

Day 2: O God, you love your people and bless the ordinary lives we quietly live. As you blessed St. Joseph, bless what I do, however hidden and simple it may be, and let all I do be done with love.

Day 3: O God, ever faithful, you remember us always and in time reveal your blessings. Help me trust in you, as St. Joseph faithfully trusted, and never let me lose faith in the wonderful gifts you promise me.

Day 4: God of families, bless the family that’s mine. Keep us safe from harm, and never let evil come between us. Let peace remain in our hearts.

Day 5: O God, who loves children, be kind to our children today. Give them eyes of faith for seeing far, a loving heart for welcoming life, and a place always at your side.

Day 6: God of our heavenly home, bless our home on earth. Let the spirit of Mary and Joseph rest at our table, shape our words and actions, and bring blessing to our children.

Day 7: God, our Father, give your fatherly spirit to those who are fathers now. Like Joseph, give them hearts of devoted love for their wives and children and strength for forgiveness and patience.

Day 8: Give shelter, O God, to those who need it, and bring together families divided. Give us enough to eat, and decent work to earn our bread. Care for us, O God.

Day 9: Bless all families, O Lord especially those in need. Remembering the life of your Son, we pray for the poor, for those who lack a good home, for those in exile. Grant them a protector like Joseph, O God.
