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!

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...

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. ...
