In fact, the sun is constantly blowing matter, known as the solar wind, out into our solar system. Even if we ignore the big stuff like stars, planets and comets, space is not completely empty. It’s true that space is a vacuum, which means that there isn’t much matter floating around out there. If something is cold, its atoms have much less energy and they stay quite still.

Too often kids (and adults) are caught up in the what's-in-it-for-us mentality. I told the kids I had no plan for how long it would take to fill up a jar, and if they did fill one, we would empty it and start all over again. There are no goals, no counting, no prizes, etc. I added two jars labeled for the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, red beads in a bowl, and a sign saying "Be merciful as your Father is merciful." When they feel as though they have performed an act of mercy, they can add a bead to the jar. This is pretty perfect since there are just about seven weeks in Lent :) They are being challenged each week to live out one of the Corporal and one of the Spiritual Works of Mercy. Posted are the two lists created by the kids. Then, because a dear friend gave me this stellar bobble head of Pope Francis (because what Catholic classroom doesn't need a Pope bobble head?), I was able to set up this little "Lenten Acts of Mercy" station in our classroom.
