This was a super fun project my Grades 4- 6 mixed elective class did at the end of this school year. They LOVED this project- some even made 2 or 3. I pretty much followed the excellent instructions posted HERE on the "We Heart Art" blog. She found the idea on the Fine Lines blog. I was worried we would have to use that chunky yarn (of which I had none) but regular yarn worked well. I collect empty cereal boxes from my students all year long and stockpile them for projects such as these. Students drew some type of abstract pattern on the card. I encouraged them to use shapes as opposed to open lines as we would be colouring these in. Of course some did non-abstract images and some used some open lines and they all worked out regardless :) Once the lines were drawn, students passed over the lines using regular white glue. Then they put pieces of yarn on top. We let these dry overnight. It's important to use heavy duty aluminium foil for this next step. It's just sturdier and thicker. Students cut a piece off the roll that was about an inch larger than their cardboard. Then they covered the back of the tin foil liberally with a glue stick. They need to use ALOT and do it carefully in one direction so the foil doesn't bunch up and rip. Other blogs used spray glue for this step but I didn't have any- the glue stick worked pretty well. Then put the foil over-top and, starting from the center, gently rub over the design using a small square of felt. It really works for buffing the foil over the yarn. Take your time with this step- the more you carefully rub around the yarn, the better the final artwork will work. Some students tended to rush this step. Once it's all glued down, I show students how to neatly wrap the foil onto the back- a technique I used during my book-making phase ;) Then the fun part: colouring the whole image with coloured Sharpies! Don't colour the raised yarn part. Here are Grades 4 - 6 results: This students did 2: one using cool colours and one using warm colours
Hi! I’m here today to share with you a meaningful art project for your younger students. This would be good as as a “getting to know you” activity. The following examples were all made by kindergartners near the end of the year, but I would think this lesson would be suitable for kids through grades 2. Many art teachers have taught about the artist Faith Ringgold and had their students create paper quilts. I have a free printable for you … Read more... →
Our faith is one filled with order, rhythm, and structure. Introducing kids to the meaning and richness behind that order, especially of the Mass, can help them understand and enter into worship with all the faithful. I've used a couple of sets of cards about the order of the Mass for years in my classroom for this purpose, but decided to upgrade my handwritten-on-index-cards to these nice printables that I can share with you. We typically use these as station activities during our Eucharist unit, but they also lend themselves to jigsaw activities, or you can print a whole class set and work through them together. Below, I've given you a few tips and ideas for using the cards with kids, but the possibilities are endless! I'm sure you can come up with many more uses that will fit the needs of your students! Details and ideas for using the Order of the Mass Cards: -Includes a Key Card to help you quickly check (or have students self-check) -Includes Introductory Rites, Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist, and Concluding Rites heading cards with a border to help with organization -Cut out and shuffle the stack and have students put the parts of the Mass in order from start to finish across a large table or the floor (better for older students or students who need a challenge) -Label the cards with four different colors for the four main parts of the Mass so putting them in order isn't so overwhelming (better for younger students or students who need a little more help) -Only give one part of the Mass at a time to put in order (even easier) -Put cards in order and label with a small number on the back. When finished sorting, students can flip them over and easily self check to see if their order is correct -Pair with a play Mass set to help the students match the names of the parts of the Mass with the objects used during Mass -Give the students a child friendly missal to do their own research about the Order of the Mass -Punch a hole in the corner of the cards and put them in order on a carabiner or binder ring. This could be an alternate way for a student to put them in order without a lot of table space or a storage solution -Bring the cards on a carabiner or binder ring to Mass. Help the child flip a card for each new part of the Mass to help them pay attention and learn the parts of the Mass without flipping through a missal I also love to share the Scriptural origin of the Mass with my students and reveal how much of the Bible they know just from the responses and prayers at Mass. This set of cards gives nine Bible references to look up that connect to a part of the Mass. The students can look up the verses and see if they can identify the origin of the Holy, Holy, Holy, or the prayer of Consecration, etc. Details and ideas for using the Connecting the Order of the Mass and Scripture cards: -The tenth card of the set is a key for matching the parts of the Mass with the Bible verses for the teacher or for the students to self check -Provide cards and a Bible to students and give them time to look up the reference individually. Then discuss as a group what part of the Mass they think the verse matches. Then try the next verse -Pass out different individual cards to individual students or partners. Have them look up the reference, match it to the Mass, and share their ideas with the whole group -Write the nine parts of the Mass from the key on the board or a large piece of paper. Have students look up the verses and then go write in the verse next to the part of the Mass -Using a missal and a Bible, discuss how similar or different the Bible verses and the prayers we use today are to each other -Have the students pick another part or prayer of the Mass and research its Biblical origins Click here to download and print the Order of the Mass Cards: Click here to download and print the Connecting the Order of the Mass and Scripture Cards:

"(Jesus) answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" Luke 10:27We were sick most of the week that we studied the Good Samaritan, so we didn't get quite as many activities in as I had hoped. We did though, read the story from many different Bible books, and also watched a few kids videos on it. Our activity was creating a play scene to use in re-telling the story. (-which

This is a really fun and engaging lesson I found HERE on the Kinder Art website. I modified the steps a bit. These turn out really beautiful with wonderful colour effects that these photos aren't able to capture! We used plastic sheet protectors. Students looked online for photo inspiration. On regular photocopy paper (which fits in the page protector), students drew out their image in pencil. They had to make sure to turn it into stained glass effect by fracturing up the image. Slide the finished drawing into the page protector and then outline the drawing using a black permanent marker. Then colour it all in using coloured permanent markers. Then, get a piece of cardboard the same size as the paper (81/2 x 11"). You'll also need a piece of aluminum foil about an inch larger than the cardboard. Crumple up the foil really well a couple of times and then smooth it out flat again. It should be all textured now. Glue and wrap the foil to the cardboard. Then cut the page protector apart so it's only one sheet. Then staple the image on top of the foil. For the rectangular artworks, students used coloured mini duck tape to wrap the edges. Finished! Because of the reflective nature of these, they were super tricky to photograph! This lesson is a great tie-in to Medieval Art if you teach that as part of your curriculum. Close-up detail photo
