Math Menu: Differentiated Instruction in Mathematics Day 3 – April 22, 2010 St Roch S.S.
Earth Day Prayer: Here we are, God — a planet at prayer. Attune our spirits that we may hear your harmonies and bow before your creative power; that we may face our violent discords and join with your energy to make heard in every heart your hymn of peace. Here we are, God — a militarized planet. Transform our fears that we may transform our war fields into wheat fields, arms into handshakes, missiles into messengers of peace. Here we are, God — a polluted planet. Purify our vision that we may perceive ways to purify our beloved lands, cleanse our precious waters, de-smog our life-giving air. Here we are, God — an exploited planet. Heal our heart, that we may respect our resources, hold priceless our people, and provide for our starving children an abundance of daily bread.
