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 go" version. This version needs no assembly. Literally, print out the page (s) you need and teach the content.
Print and Go Version 
Tab Version 


At the end of the book, there is a review section that the teacher or parent can use to help assess the knowledge of each student. With each sacrament, I tried to include one interactive activity that reinforced the content.

The picture above shows the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation section. In this section there is a guide and space for students to complete his or her examination of conscience.

My students are getting ready to partake in their first sacraments! I have been using my Sacrament Flip Book to help prepare them for two of the sacraments. This resource has helped them feel confident and ready! They also enjoy the tabs and all the coloring they get to do!



This resource can be used in the catholic classroom or for homeschooling! It is your one stop shop for everything on the sacraments. You can get your Sacrament Flip Book Here! Click on the link to head over to my TpT shop!

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...

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!

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.
