Sacrament Task Cards

I LOVE task cards! They are a great way to review material. I love hiding them around my classroom for students to find. Student engagement ✔ I use task cards for math all the time, so I thought, why not start using them for religion too?! And that's exactly what I did! I created my first set of religion task cards for you all! These task cards are all about the sacraments. If you have already taught your students about the Seven Sacraments, these cards would be a great way to review and/or refresh them on the content. If you need a resource to teach the sacraments, I have one! In fact these task cards pair perfectly with my Sacrament Flip Book. Click the link to get more information on it. Sacrament Flip Book Back to my sacrament task cards! I have 3 versions of the task cards. There is volume 1, volume 2, and then of course I bundled them together so you could get both sets a small discount! Volume 1 Volume 1 includes 1-3 question on each sacrament, except Matrimo

Visual Steps for Mass

I work at a Catholic School. I know, you're wondering why that's relevant!? 💁Well, not only are we a Catholic School, but we are the ONLY Catholic School in the state of Georgia that has a certified special needs program.  It has been quite the journey! Our small class sizes and ability to give each student one-on-one time to meet their academic needs has truly benefited so many of our students. Children with Autism do extremely well in our school's program.  With that said, I noticed that some of our students with special needs were anxious at Mass. Most of them are not Catholic, so they have no perception of the time. They aren’t familiar enough with the steps to recognize what will happen next. I decided to make this  handy visual for students and teachers to use to help navigate through the Mass. It's very simple and easy to use! All you need is a laminator, laminating paper, and velcro! When you get to Mass, make sure all pictures are taken off. Th

Teaching the Sacraments

Do you find it difficult to teach the sacraments to your students or kids? Let's be honest, the sacraments are pretty abstract concept! My students struggle with remembering the names or multiple names of the sacraments! Just when they finally remembered what the sacrament of Penance was, our priest would ask them ask question about the sacrament of Confession! My student(s) would turn to me wide eyed, completely confused. 😳 I decided to make a meaningful sacrament resource that would tackle these types of challenges. My Sacrament Flip Book isn't meant for a quick lesson, never to be referenced again. This resource has a wealth of knowledge in it (all material is referenced from the Catechism of the Catholic Church). The resource has interactive components to it as well. Each sacrament should be taught over the course of 2-3 days.  In the resource, there are two versions; the first version is the original with the tabs for each sacrament, the second is my "print and

Teaching the Commandments

Hi Friends! I have been working hard to get more religion resources out for you! The next activity that is prepped and ready, is a lesson the Two Great Commandments. Don't worry, the 10 Commandments will be coming your way soon! Let's not forget that the Two Great Commandments are important as well. If we were to live by these two commandments only, we would also be following the 10 Commandments. I created a Great Commandment Flip Book that you can use in the classroom, or at home (for all my home schooling mamas out there). The kids have enjoyed having these books to help learn their new religion material. Each page focuses on one skill, and the tab at the top helps them remember the focus. In the flip book, the kids learn what a commandment is and why the are important. There is also a page for each commandment, with an activity to go along with the passage. In the lesson, we discussed the importance of rules and how they keep us safe. Students made connections abo

Whole 30 Food List

Hi Friends!   This post is not teaching related, but I wanted to provide this resource for you! I recently finished my 3rd Whole30. It was by far my most successful one. It's not that I slipped up during my past whole30's, it's the first time I have actually achieved my food freedom.  If you haven't read Melissa's book Food Freedom Forever , you should! It would be a great read before or during your Whole30. When I did my first whole30, there was absolutely no compliant sauces, marinades, seasonings, bars, jerky, or places to eat in my area. I had to cook everything from scratch! It became a little exhausting, and I hadn't mastered food prep yet either. There wasn't a lot of quick and easy meals provided on the Instagram account yet. This time around was completely opposite! I had many options to add to my food list! We now have a Sprouts in our area, but Walmart has also stepped up their game! I was able to do 95% of my grocery shopping online throu
