SCS BRO MIRANDA CATECHISM

Good morning ! 😊 We've come to the last day of April - you've been at classes for a month! A month of online classes and more than a month of lockdown! Congratulations! You'll need mental and spiritual stamina for this - while I hope that the lockdown will draw to a close - it will do so rather slowly! Hold in there! For some reason - our abilities to cope are being expanded! One wonders - why does learning always have to be a challenge - that's the nature of it !!!! Take heart! There's a future waiting for us - where we can be sure we will need all of what we've learned to be! "God does not take back his gifts - he does not change his mind about those He has chosen!"

I'll really appreciate that! Thanks, in advance! By the way, do you get to see my reply to you "Good Morning"?...

Good Morning 😊 Congratulations! We've come through a month of the lockdown 👍 Have you counted all the adjustments you have made to your life? They're so many! Please remember to compliment yourself - do you do something to treat yourself to for having made the adjustments every day? Do so!

Hello ! 😊 Good morning 🙏 How are you?  Have you begun to develop some strategies to take care of yourself and others during these very different days?  Are you beginning to take charge of your life?  Did you give some special time to God yesterday - Sunday (if your parents encouraged the family to do so - you're fortunate; if they didn't for whatever reason - how about you doing what is necessary for your life ? If it's possible - you could suggest it to your family! Whatever (do I ask too many questions ?) ...... you are where you are - and that's the purpose of the catechism class - so - Welcome !!!!

Good Morning ! and Welcome to the class today!😊 I often ask you how you are - it's not just something pleasant to say - when someone asks me that question - it's an invitation for me to self-check ! How am I today? How are you today? - we have begun learning how to listen to ourselves - our feelings, our body sensations and being more aware of others - when I check up on myself - I'm giving myself tim e - I'm being kind to myself  - when I'm checking up on you - I'm giving you time - I'm telling you that you matter to me !

Good morning!😊 Even though I have the large school campus to walk around and I do some good exercise for an hour daily and am busy for many many hours of work (seems busier than when we had normal school !) the lack of all the interaction and varied experiences of the normal life is becoming more difficult to adjust to! What about you? how are you managing? Are you: Getting exercise? helping around the house? Do you like cooking - trying your hand at it or learning to do it? Do you play a musical instrument or have some interaction with music? Do you watch a movie? All the best as you learn to cope - with this experience of life! I'm sure we'll discover hidden talents!

Good morning !😊 I hope that the day's going well for you! our teachers tell me that they're doing very important work with you! Please cooperate with them - you have a great opportunity to focus - of course being locked in at home and studying so much is challenging - but, believe me, if you work at this - it will be a very positive experience for your life. Of course - please make sure you get exercise - you need to spend that energy - so climb stairs (if you can); do stretching exercises; jog in one spot - but exercise! To create breaks between your studies - help out at home at something! And do something which destresses you - like listening to music!

Good Morning! I'm sure you've been very busy this morning and all these days working at your class X courses - all the best! Knuckling down to study - to focusing and doing the work which needs to be done will work in a very positive way of giving you skills/capabilities for life. I hope that you're also finding some time to do some physical exercises - please ask your PT teachers for some tips. I also hope that you also have some time for relaxation - check with Mr Macdonald Samuel and Mrs Dharmana - do some signing and art!
