Our continuing Exploration through the Life of Jesus Has brought us to the time when Jesus performs another miracle. JESUS HEALS THE PARALYZED MAN. We added NEW CARDS to our DO You Know? Wall. My Expectation is for the KIDDOS to be able to answer each of these by the end of the lesson. We had two new words to add to our WORD WALL. I chose PARALYZED and FRIEND. We reviewed the WORD AMAZED!! Those are important words for the KIDDOS to understand for this lesson to make more sense to them. Our VISUAL Aid for this lesson was literally made out of a box. I cannot even remember what was originally in the box....but, I knew I needed to keep it because of the nice "VIEWING WINDOW" it had. I'm always thinking, could I use "THIS" in Bible Class....before I throw thing away. I Just decorated the box with paper I had purchased at Dollar Tree....The box already had the plastic front, which made it great for a "DIORAMA." The people were copied out of a copyable clipart book, that we have owned for a really long time. The KIDDOS really enjoyed my using this DIORAMA while telling the story. This is the SONG we learned with this lesson. This song was fun to sing using the paralyzed man on the mat that we used for our review game...the KIDDOS loved "LETTING HIM DOWN GENTLY" as we sang the song. The song can be heard by clicking the following link. "Through The Roof" song--by Ronda Duvall Our MEMORY VERSE was Mark 2:12! To hear the MEMORY VERSE song click on this link. Memory Verse Song MARK 2:12 We Added a NEW Card to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN Timeline!! The Kiddo's TAKE-HOME project was a Quilt and Paralyzed man with yarn on each corner. The KIDDOS could lay the man on the quilt and lower him down. This weeks REVIEW Game was another Dramatization style game. I would have four KIDDOS answer questions from the lesson....They would then go get a corner of the "mat" and we would lower him down by answering more questions from the lesson. Then we would repeat the process until all the children had a chance to be one of the four friends. As you know, the second week of the LESSON is when we REVIEW. It gives me opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. It also, gives opportunities for the KIDDOS who missed class the first week to "CATCH UP." This is the Week we SAY our MEMORY VERSE from MEMORY and We do an ACTIVITY we add to our EXPLORER JOURNAL. This LESSON'S EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY was a variation of something I had seen....I just made it on my computer using clipart I have purchased. The KIDDOS added ropes to the four friends hands and colored their "movie strip." These will be placed in the KIDDOS EXPLORER JOURNAL. The KIDDOS take home their EXPLORER JOURNAL at the end of a TOPIC. So, this one will stay in the classroom until we complete our Lessons on the LIFE OF CHRIST. We are enjoying our continuing Exploration of the LIFE of CHRIST. I am enjoying teaching the LESSONS and I know the KIDDOS are loving learning about our LORD! Blessings, Ronda
Our continuing Exploration through the Life of Jesus Has brought us to the time when Jesus performs another miracle. This time Jesus heals Jarius' Daughter. We added NEW CARDS to our DO You Know? Wall. My Expectation is for the KIDDOS to be able to answer each of these by the end of the lesson. We had three new words to add to our WORD WALL. I chose TALITHA CUMI, MOURNER and SYNAGOGUE. Those are important words for the KIDDOS to understand for this lesson to make more sense to them. We Added a NEW Card to our GOD'S AWESOME PLAN FOR MAN Timeline!! Our MEMORY VERSE was Mark 5:26! To hear the MEMORY VERSE song click on this link. Memory Verse Song Mark 5:26 This is the SONG we learned with this lesson. It is a short and simple song to learn. The song can be heard by clicking the following link. Jarius' Daughter....Song By Ronda Duvall Our VISUAL Aid for this lesson was a picture for a set of visual aid cards I purchased several years ago. I really like this picture...It had all the people that were in the house with Jesus represented and if you look through the window you will see the mourners outside! The Kiddo's TAKE-HOME project was a 3D bed with a little girl on it that they were able to make "RISE" when we practiced saying, "TALITHA CUMI." I designed the bed on my computer. Then, using various clip art I have access to I gave it a WOOD look and a quilted top. I drew the little girl a LOOOOOONG time ago...my wonderful husband scanned several of my drawings into the computer. This allows me to manipulate them for size, color, etc. If you would like to see how this TAKE HOME "works" please click on the following link. Clicking on the picture will NOT open the video. Jesus Says, "Talitha Cumi"..."Little Girl Arise." This weeks REVIEW Game was a fun BOARD GAME. We all worked together to get JESUS from the Sea of Galilee to Jarius' house. The KIDDOS answer a question from the lesson, roll a die and then move "Jesus" the number of spaces the die tells them. There are a few "bumps" in the way as Jesus makes His way to Jarius' house. As you know, the second week of the LESSON is when we REVIEW. It gives me opportunity to correct any misunderstandings. It also, gives opportunities for the KIDDOS who missed class the first week to "CATCH UP." This is the Week we SAY our MEMORY VERSE from MEMORY and We do an ACTIVITY we add to our EXPLORER JOURNAL. This LESSON'S EXPLORER JOURNAL ACTIVITY was a POCKET "BED" and a two LITTLE GIRL...The KIDDOS colored the area around the pillow and both the front and back of the little girl. They love making her get out of bed, flip around so she is smiling and then say, "give her something to eat." I am loving teaching the LESSONS on the LIFE OF JESUS. I feel like I am learning more and more!! I enjoy writing, coming up with the crafts, activities, games, etc. It can be challenging at times....but, it is always worth it when I see the KIDDOS enjoying learning events from the LIFE of JESUS!! Blessings, Ronda

Five for Friday...on Saturday! Yesterday got away from me so I figured I would post today since I'm up before the rest of my family. I love reading everyone's highlights from the week so here is some randomness from mine. Click the picture above if you want to join us with your week's highlights. The weather this winter has been so crazy for Michigan. As in no snow. Like all winter. Unheard of. We had a big snow storm in November and since then we've had a few inches here or there but not enough to do normal winter activities. I'm not complaining about the mild winter since I generally don't like the cold and snow but it is odd. We had one day this week in the 50s so we headed out in the wind to practice riding bikes. I have one more week of religious education classes before we have two weeks off. Usually, we do our lesson from the book and I usually come up with a craft/project to go with it. The past few weeks I've gotten bored with that routine, so I imagine my students were feeling the same way. I've tried adding games instead of a craft that they take home and they seem to love it. We learned about the miracles of Jesus so I made a matching game with 10 of the miracles we learned about. After we used the cards for a matching game, we used the word cards for a Win, Lose or Draw game. The kids had so much fun and they really remembered those miracles. Mission accomplished! I also made them some clip cards with some of the different items used in the Catholic mass. These are some tricky words (some of which I didn't know the official names for) but we used the cards on a day the parents came to class, so we had some adults to help read the words. My kiddos loved it and I loved that we were mixing things up a bit. I finished Three Wishes and I liked it. It wasn't a page turner but it was still a good storyline and I'm curious to read more of her books. I have a couple waitlisted from Download Destination through our library. Does anyone else use this? You can check out digital books for free. My problems is that the titles or authors I want rarely have books available so I decided to put my name on the waitlist and see what happens. While I wait for more books to come to my tablet, I grabbed this one from my nightstand that I've had waiting. I started reading it last night and am already hooked. I discovered this author a few months ago and I love everything I've read by her. It would probably be described as romantic comedy. Definitely chick lit with a love story and happy ending. My kind of mindless reading! We rented The Martian this week and it was so good. So good. Has everyone seen this? I know I am late to the party - we don't get out to the movies as much as we'd like. It was a really good movie and I was surprised at how much I liked it since I didn't think I would be interested at all. Matt Damon as so good and so funny at some parts. I think we might be buying this and watching it over and over again. I finally got my Preschool Winter and Valentine's Day unit posted. You can click the picture to read more about that. I also took two of the activities and made them into freebies. Click the pictures below to get those freebies. Well, time to wake the troops. Today is ice cream for breakfast day according to my calendar of fun holidays so we will be celebrating. And then when they are all sugared up, we are leaving them with my mom so we can go attempt to lower our cable bill and get me a new phone. Woohoo!! Have a great weekend friends!

Religious education ideas for Catholic teachers, homeschoolers, and catechists- crafts, lessons, and printables on Sacraments, Scripture and Prayer.
This mini-book Bible Study for kids is intended to help teachers and parents invite kids to dwell in Scripture and develop an understanding of the life of Jesus. Seven of Christ's miracles can be read and discussed, either all at once or in separate settings. Questions to help mull over and draw connections along with space to jot down thoughts is provided. You could use this study in many ways- group study and discussion, individual time in Scripture and prayer, or ever as more of a scavenger hunt and share approach. I made these Bible Studies to use with my students specifically as a way to help them understand that Christ instituted and is the minister of the Sacraments. The Jesus of the Bible is the same Jesus that desires to know and be known by them. This group of miracles was selected because each connects so well to the Sacrament of the Eucharist. The miracle of the Transubstantiation is embedded in the character of these events from the life of Christ. Miracles in the study include: -Wedding at Cana -Large catch of fish -Walking on water -Feeding of 5000 -Calming of the storm -Transfiguration -Resurrection After reading each story, the kids are invited to consider three questions: -How did people react to the miracle? -What Bible verse sticks with you from this passage? -How does this miracle connect with ways Jesus works in our lives and in the Church today? All of these stories can point to a continuing message of the mercy of God, his desire to make His power known to us in ways we can understand, and the continuing of ministry of miracles through the Church and Her Sacraments. Click here for the four page printable: (Print two sided, cut horizontally, layer, fold vertically, staple. Order doesn't really matter- with the exception of the cover- because the questions are the same for each miracle.) Come back on Wednesday for a second Bible Study focusing specifically on the healing ministry of Jesus.

SPECIAL SONG: Jesus Taught By Parables And Miracles (see March - Songs We Sing In Bible Class #4 on this blog. Click orange circle to hear tune.) VISUAL AID: A Large Activity (see below) LESSON POINTS: In just a few lessons, we have learned a lot about Jesus, God's only begotten Son! We have learned how He was born, how Herod tried to kill Him, how He lived in Egypt for a short time, how He got 'lost' in Jerusalem when He was twelve years old, how He began to preach to the people when He was about thirty years old (Luke 3:23), and how He chose twelve men to follow Him. Today, we will study about Jesus' first miracle and why He performed miracles. Jesus, His disciples, and Jesus' mother, Mary, attended a wedding in the city of Cana. The Bible says that the people who were in charge of the wedding ran out of wine for the people to drink. In Bible times, people sometimes called grape juice 'wine,' so this could be a time when the drink of the wedding was grape juice and not like the wine that has alcohol in it. God is not pleased when people drink wine and get drunk. Mary heard that the people were out of wine and told Jesus about the problem. Jesus, being respectful, said to His mother that his time had not yet come. Mary told the servants at the wedding to do whatever Jesus told them to do. Jesus saw that there were six stone water pots set aside that would hold twenty to thirty gallons of water each. Jesus told the servants to fill the water pots with water. The servants filled the pots to the very brim. Jesus then told the servants to take the water pots to the host of the wedding. The host did not know that Jesus had told the servants any instructions at all, but the servants knew what Jesus had said and what they had done with their own hands. They had put water into the water pots as Jesus had asked them to do and that was all. When the host of the wedding had tasted the water that Jesus had turned to wine, he said that usually people gave the best wine at the beginning of the wedding, but the wine he was tasting was better than the first! This was the beginning of Jesus' miracles and it was done in the city of Cana in Galilee. Jesus did many miracles after this one and they were all done to prove that He was the Son of God. Could anyone else turn water into a different kind of liquid? No! But Jesus did. The Bible says that this miracle showed Jesus' glory and his disciples believed in Him. Jesus is the Son of God! "Older Student" Tips: Did you know that sometimes grape juice is called wine in the Bible? The Greek word (oinos) that translators translated into English could be used to refer to all forms of the grape, not only the fermented wine that we think of today. Just as the servants obeyed Mary's words--"whatever He saith unto you, do it"--we should do the same and obey all that Jesus says. We will be glad we did! ACTIVITY: Jesus Turns The Water Into Wine (This activity may look difficult, but not so. Try it step by step. Try it before class time to make certain everything works smoothly.) Materials needed: 6" x 14" brown construction paper, 6" x 16" light brown construction paper, 1.5" x 18" strip of blue paper, 1.5" x 18" strip of purple construction paper, marker or crayon, glue, tape, scissors. Hand out brown paper. Fold brown paper in half lengthwise. Fold brown paper again, but this time in thirds, so when it is opened it has twelve boxes. Unfold paper, so it is only folded in half lengthwise. On folded top edge, draw arches between squares. Cut arches out at top. Draw arches on bottom edges (still folded). Cut bottom arches out. Round outer corner edges. These are six brown water pots. Draw lines between water pots. On top folded edge, draw scallops from one water pot to the next. Write numbers (in order) on water pots. Hand out light brown paper. Glue the back of the folded water pots to the middle of the light brown paper. Write "Jesus' First Miracle" at the top of the light brown paper. Write "John 2:1-11" at the bottom of the light brown paper. At the edges of the dark brown paper, cut about 2" through each side of the light brown paper--but do not to the bottom edge of the light brown paper. Hand out blue and purple paper. Tape one edge of the blue paper to the one edge of the purple paper to form one long two-colored strip. Open dark brown water pots. Thread long strip of paper up through one cut side of the light brown paper where the student cut. Thread the long strip of paper back down through the other side of the light brown paper. Tape to secure. Close water pots. How it works: Open the water pots. As the student turns the blue strip to the front of the paper, the water pots are filled with blue water, but when the purple strip is turned to the front of the paper, the water pots are filled with purple wine.
