WELCOME BACK! All classes resume this week, January 9th, 10th, and 11th. We can't wait to see you.
This month we will teach the children some ways to pray. Prayer is conversation with God. As Saint Teresa of Calcutta said, " For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God." We will focus on the formal prayer, "The Glory Be" and some of the sensory stations will focus on spontaneous prayer. Please view the images below and the parent pamphlet, so you'll know how to lead your children in these activities.
We also celebrate the feast day of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton on January 4th. She was the first American Saint and she started a school for children.
Below is the Ordinary Time sensory box. Please let your children sit and play with all the green items! Remind them that everything is green because green is the color we use to represent the Ordinary Time liturgical season in our church. We are back to Ordinary Time now after Advent and Christmas.
Sensory Play Prayer Box--this game is designed for little babies! Sit with your child, with the box and let them pull out the scarves. As they pull out each scarf, read one of the prayers on the box or say your own prayer out loud. Keep going until the box is empty, then refill, and play again!
