Creation

Last night was the first night back to class. I was excited to meet my new kiddos and get back to religious education.

I always start with creation because well, that’s where we  started.  So much time is spent on rules, what’s expected, homework, prayers, and so on, that the lesson needs to be fairly simple.  I break creation down over a couple of lessons and classes.  Yesterday, I read the story of creation to them from the Bible.  I stop after each day to review what was created that day.

Then, we did a cut & paste worksheet that I made for class.  It’s a mat that has each day and what was created on it.  So they start off by coloring what was created each day.

Lots of colors and no scribbling!

Next, we cut out all the different days.

Good scissors skills!

Then, we glued them onto the mat and placed them in their boxes.

We love our glue sponges!
Glue them into their proper days!

Here’s the final project!!

creation-5
All done!
creation-6
So happy with our first project!

 

The kids had a blast!!  I have a freebie for you, so that your kids can have a blast as well.  If you click on the image below, you can download the simple color version of this project.  I hope that the kids enjoy!!

Also, this project is available for purchase in my shop.  It’s available in color and black & white, plus it has a little bit “fancier” borders on the mat.  If you’re interested in purchasing this creation activity worksheet, please just click here to view this exclusive item or just click below to add it to your cart.

NOTE:  This is the Catholic version based on the New American Standard (Revised Edition).  This is the Bible that I use in my classroom….

Stock Photos and Images

I’ve been on the hunt for stock photos for awhile. I’ve found some really good free ones, but it’s always tricky with them. Pricing stock photos is outrageous!!

Well, I found a solution for that.  Let me introduce you to….

StockUnlimited-3

They have an unlimited download plan that is normally over $900, but it’s on sale for $89 right now!!  The best part??  It’s for a lifetime!!  They have a great selection at StockUnlimited and they’re adding to it.  They have easy terms and they can be used commercially.  That makes it perfect for me….personal and commercial use!!

There’s also vector images (clipart) available in addition to the photos.  So, if you’re looking for great stock photos, grab this deal while you can.  Remember, the $89 for a lifetime of unlimited downloads is available at this price for a limited time.  Head to StockUnlimited if you’re interested and happy browsing all the great shots!!

UPDATE:  Although I was given permission to use these stock photos and vectors for commercial use in the things that I sell, not everyone has received the same answer.  It’s still a great deal, but I suggest that if you’re at all interested that you personally contact them with the way you want to use them.  After you get a reply, be sure to keep it for your records!!

My Lenten Promise Activity

I know that I haven’t had anything special for you all lately.  Now that I’m starting my blog on my own domain, I think it’s time to get back on track!!  I have something for all of you, my loyal readers and followers.

This is a freebie for Lent.  I know we’re now into Holy Week, so there’s not much time left to use this.  However, it’s a great activity for the religious classroom or at home with the family.  This is a set of journal pages or a writing activity.  They come in 2 types of lines for a variety of ages/grades.  

You can write your promises on the lines for each aspect of Lent….prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.  It can be done daily, weekly, or just once during the Lent season.

If you’re interested in this activity, please just click to….
