The Joyful Mysteries:Build-your-own-Book

During Advent, our parish priest wanted the students to learn about the Joyful mysteries. Since, I have younger students I new the best way to get this done was through a visual aide. I made a very simple book for them. On each page is the Mystery with a very brief description. Using my smartboard I projected an image of each mystery on the board for the students to see. We did 1-2 mysteries a day, depending on the time. The students then illustrated their own drawing of the mystery. 

First, cut out the book. If your students are older, you could have them do this. I arranged my pages in the order that the mysteries are prayed. Then place three staples on the edge! Poof! You have a little mystery book. 

After using this book and reviewing each day, my students were ready to answer all of Father's questions at Mass! I was very proud of them. Here is a link for the FREE resource. Enjoy!

First Communion Student Gifts

Hi Teachers! I have created a fun and useful resource for you this week! First Communion is just around the corner. Do you struggle with finding a gift that won't cost you a ton of money from your own paycheck? I did! Every year First Communion rolled around I always got a little stressed about a student gift. I wanted to get them something special, but I also didn't feel comfortable spending a big chunk of my own paycheck to do it. So I have created a student gift that will only cost you a $1.25! Another Bonus: it's a digital download, so you will have it each year First Communion rolls around. The gift is useful  and meaningful for students It is something they could keep forever, and use it to help them grow in their faith. The First Communion Gift resource is a prayer card and an award that you can give to each student making First Communion. The prayer card is a prayer for after receiving communion. The prayer will help them stay focused on Christ in the Euc...

Lenten Count Down!

Lent is almost here! Can you believe it? I wanted to share a door decoration with you all. I was inspired by Lacy over at Catholic Icing . She has pretty amazing ideas to help bring the faith into the classroom. Each year I usually use her interactive Lenten calendar coloring page. That can be found here . However, this year I decided to do something a little different! I made a life size model of it! Check out the picture: Each day of Lent, a student will shade in the square with purple. I also had my kiddos add pictures for  Palm Sunday,  Holy Thursday, and Good Friday. They drew Jesus riding in on a Donkey. One of them drew Jesus on the cross. We added palms around Palm Sunday.  They turned out really cute! The kids are really excited to begin the count down. I'm hoping this door decoration will help to keep the season on their mind.

Word Pattern Activities: NO PREP

Guys! This is an amazing resource...and it's FREE! This year, I had a group of kiddos that were having difficulty with vowel diagraphs or long vowel sounds other than the "cvcv" pattern. Every time they heard a word with long vowel sound (i.e. coat) they always wanted to add the "silent/sneaky e" to the end of it (cote).  I wanted them to be exposed to the other vowel teams that are out there, so I created these activities. I use some of these activities as early finishers or for station work. I do have some sheets with "sneaky e" in the pack, because I have a range of students in my classroom.  I hope this resource helps you! Please follow me on Instagram  . You can get my word pattern bundle here!
