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 Eucharist. It is a great way to help them grow spiritually in the sacrament. 

The prayer is called "Little White Guest." It is completely age appropriate. I know sometimes our prayers can contain vocabulary that is difficult, but this prayer will help them visualize Jesus in the Eucharist. This prayer has been apart of our Church Tradition for years! Even as an adult, reading this prayer has helped me focus on the Eucharist. 

In the resource, I have included black and white and color versions of the prayer cards and awards. All you have to do is print and cut! If you would like to add longevity to the prayer card, I recommend lamenting them. 

                                                          
Please note, the Communion Awards are not meant to look official or be a certificate. An official Certificate of Communion should come from the Parish school. This award is just a cute gift to show your student how proud you are of them! 

If you wanted to add a little something more, you could purchase saint charms and throw them on a piece of string to make a necklace. My students LOVED when I gave them saint necklaces. Your local Catholic gift shop should have saint charms available. With or without the saint charm, this is a fantastic and cost effective gift for your students. 


You can purchase the resource at my Teachers Pay Teachers store by clicking HERE! Thank you for visiting my blog!

Why I left the Classroom Part 1

As many of you have seen from my Instagram , I have started to work for VIPKid. For those wondering, yes, I did leave the brick and mortar classroom.  This was an extremely difficult decision, but a decision that needed to be made for the sake of my mental and physical health. This post is a little about my decision to leave the classroom, and my new journey with VIPKid.  I want to preface this post with a quick statement. This experience applies to me personally. My experience in the classroom should not be a universal reflection of teaching.This is my personal story- this is my experience in the classroom. And why, ultimately, I had to step away.  I was a classroom teacher for 7 years, and while I am no longer in the classroom, there are still some memories that I cherish. Working with the children was never the problem. In fact, the kids are what kept me holding on for so long. Everything else that piles on as a teacher is what slowly decreased my health. ...

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...
