Printable Lenten calendar using the line drawings from the OCA education website - color in the days with a purple crayon as you go. The top image is scaled to fit on Legal paper (8.5x14). The Annunciation icon is included on the bottom so you can cut it out and glue it on the correct date each year. There are also two tiny Lady Sarakosti's on the bottom edge. I cut them out and color them, then paste her to the top right corner of the calendar, with the glue just behind her head so the legs can be cut off each week. The bottom image is scaled to fit on Letter paper (8.5 x 11) but does not include the Annunciation.

On my most recent visit to Filoli, there were more Bearded Irises in bloom than I had ever seen there before.

In my ArtCGirlz art quilt group, one of our members does a lot of snow/ice dyed fabrics. She brought each of us a Fat Quarter with the challenge to create something out of it. This is the FQ I chose! I immediately saw Stained Glass church windows! This is the quilt I created using her fabric and my idea! I used Angelina Fibers to create sparkle/shimmer in the stained glass windows. I wanted to try thread sketching - basically drawing an object freehand, using the needles as a pencil. Finally, I have made several pulpit banners for my church. They requested a lenten banner (I wonder how they knew I'd have lots of purple fabric - the color of Lent!!!!!!) A simple quilt - a cross with the Crown of Thorns.

Lent should look different. Our prayer and practices, our routines and environments. To represent that visually, I like to really change up my classroom for Lent. After school Friday, (we have a teachers' institute Monday, so really the kids will see it just one day early) I took down some of our extra posters and decorations, packed up a few statues, etc. to help the room look a little more simple. Then I went about filling the space will lots of reminders of the purpose of Lent. This bulletin board is a big visual (somewhere around 5'x5') and is the first view when you walk in the room. I pulled out this lovely San Damiano Crucifix and then lettered the tradition prayer before a Crucifix that is used in the Stations of the Cross. Fast and simple, but bold and eye catching. That bulletin board is right above the prayer space in the corner of our classroom, so I also added a crown of thorns, candle, and a letter board with "pull up weeds, plant good seeds," a shortened version of the Fulton Sheen quote, "We can think of Lent as a time to eradicate evil or cultivate virtue, a time to pull up weeds or to plant good seeds. Which is better is clear, for the Christian ideal is always positive rather than negative." All our sets of Stations of the Cross prayer books and other Lenten reflection books are gathered in this corner as well. Kendra from Catholic All Year sent me a copy* of her Printable Lent DIY Bundle to try in my classroom, and it is awesome. She used her graphic design skills to update a few of the long standing Lenten traditions of their household, and the set includes a great collection of tools for kids to understand and grow through the Season of Lent. The set is in the Catholic All Year shop, and I just saw it is on sale for $8 (marked down from $20!) so now is the time to grab it for this Lent. I've got our set hung in the main hallway at school, right above a prayer table that can be used by any of the kids and staff. Since it is hanging in a main hallway, we'll be using all the clip art medallions as a calendar for the Season of Lent. Included are Sundays, Lenten Weekdays, and all the Saint Feast Days that could fall during Lent, no matter how late or how early the Season starts. (I've got all those extras stashed away for the future!) You can see a close up of the medallions in the photos below, and included in the set is a short kid friendly bio for each of the Saints that could be read on those days. There is also a great Pray, Fast, Give poster to use as a title and some powerful Lent Saint/Scripture/CCC quotes (pictured above) to round out the display. (*You know I only share things I've used and loved. All opinions my own.) Included in the set are printables and instructions for making a Lenten Sacrifice Bean jar, but I already had this Sacrifice crown, so I went with that. Add a little purple fabric and a burlap runner, and it makes for an eye catching reminder of the season. The set also includes little sheets for personal Lenten disciplines and a full page to post the Lenten disciplines for your family or classroom. I'm going to keep the calendar up for all of Lent and mark the day with this little paper crown of thorns as we move through the Season. It also would work great as a count down where the kiddos each morning have to find and take down the medallion for the day. The size of the medallions (a little over 2") would also be super perfect for a pocket chart and calendar time in a younger classroom. I think it's a versatile set that could work in many levels of classrooms or grow with your family no matter the ages of your kids. On my Notes from the Saints board (you can see more at #notesfromthesaints) I did one quick quote from St. Maximilian Kolbe and then asked my homeroom to look up and add some favorite quotes from other Saints about Lent. There's a stack of purple index cards and thumb tacks, so I hope they keep adding to it throughout the Season. I've added in my metal envelope some Lenten bookmarks for them (I keep prayer cards, Saint cards, little copies of Saint quotes, etc. here for them to grab as they walk out the door if they want.) These bookmarks are actually the Bible Margin Doodle "stickers" in my Etsy shop, just printed on cardstock. All digital downloads in my Etsy shop are 50% right now, so if you've been waiting to get any of the sets, now's the time! And finally, I purchased this Stations of the Cross Coloring Book from Catholic All Year (along with the extended license for use in my classroom). I plan to actually use copies for all of the kids for a Lenten retreat later in the month, but for right now, I wanted to have a set of the Stations hung prominently during Lent. I love the traditional art of these stations, so they were just what I was looking for. I asked some early finishers to help color them, with the basic instructions to keep Jesus in white and Mary in blue and then to do whatever they wanted. Well, next I saw, Jesus was wearing a different colored neon garment in each station. But, alas, this is their classroom, and if they liked it, it's all fine. ;) I laminated and trimmed them and have them hanging on our windows, giving them a stained glass illusion. That's how Lent looks different in my classroom! Do you have any great ideas to share about setting the tone for the Season in your home or classroom?

Are you thinking about What to Give up for Lent? If you are looking for things to give up for Lent, you've come to the right place. During the 40 days of Lent, while making our preparations for Easter, you can do something to better yourself and the world around you. A Lenten fast doesn't

Lent is a penitential season that lasts for 40 days! In all my experience with kids, they love counting down the days to a special time, and today, I wanted to share with you some

Whew, Lent seems early this year, and I'm trying to get ready. It has been a hard year, and I'm feeling a little broken down by it all. So, I'm looking forward to the struggle and the intensity ahead. This time of preparation is beautiful and difficult, and it calls me back to a place of deep joy. Last year I wrote about the Christian origins of Lent and Pascha. If you're still thinking early Christians kept this feast because they secretly didn't want to give up their pagan traditions, you may want to check out that post. They had the greatest reason of all to celebrate this day with joy, and so do we - even with eggs and baskets! So, here are a few resources! First, some printable calendars - we keep one of these on our fridge and color in the days as we go to mark our progress. Just grab and print on regular paper. simple calendar with line drawings from the OCA education website calendar using my own cartoons, including Annunciation, to match the services at our parish for 2017. And this pdf version is mostly blank, with a 2nd page of stamps you can add in to match your own church services. (Or get the printable passport with stamps here.) Second, a Memory Verse Guide using the Sunday Gospel readings. This year I think we'll be writing them on rocks and laying them in a garden. At least, that's the plan, I haven't started yet. ;) You can check out our Memory Verse Tree and Memory Verse Garden printable, or just use this guide to do memory verses your own way. I left a blank to write in the date, so you can use the same printable every year. A potted Lenten Garden we made many years ago. Finally, here's a Holy Week Map I made for our parish. Each day has a brief description of what is remembered on each day and a suggestion for simple, tangible ways to participate in the day. Last year, we printed this as a tri-fold pamphlet with our parish's service schedule on the outside. Wishing you a good fast!

This is a quick bulletin board that can easily include some class participation! Print the letters for the words, "Lent Pray Give Fast" and have the students color in the designs. Post the words for a bold bulletin board. The last page of the download has simple forms that students can fill out and add to the bulletin board. This adds a personal touch to the decoration as well as helping students remember their goals. This printable includes each letter on 8.5x11 paper in both black and purple. Quick and Easy!
