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!

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

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

Why Left the Classroom Part 2

Last week we left off with me sharing why I left the brick and mortar classroom. If you missed that post you can find a link for it here. This week, I will share with you how this change has positively impacted my health, and my VIPKid experience thus far. To start, the thing first I noticed after leaving was an immediate calmness that came over my body. I realized that I had been living at a high level of stress for quite some time, but I had just become so habituated to it that my body accepted it as normal. We all know that's no way to treat your body. Nor should it be accepted, if one has the means to change it. I found that I was no longer easily agitated, unusually stressed about grocery shopping (or other day to day chores), and the weekend didn't seem so small anymore. For the first month, I soaked up the solitude. I kept to my normal routine of waking up, working out, and prayers. I saved prayers for last, because for the first time in a long time my morning pra
