Free Inspirational Prints

Children and play are two big themes in my Catholic classroom. I found inspiration from the scripture quote of "Let the little children come to me" (Matthew 19:14). To celebrate children and God's love for his youngest family members, I created this inspirational print to frame and display in my classroom prayer space.

 I also created this "Too many blessings to count!" print to display on my desk in the classroom. It helps to remind me that even on the most stressful days, I have so much to thank God for each day.

Both prints are free to download. Stop by the Kinder-Craze blog to grab your free inspirational prints and take a peek into my kindergarten classroom.

Have a blessed day!

I love some feedback on my newest reader.  It takes a lot of time to put one story together.

I need to know if my efforts are worthwhile to others. If not, I will focus on other projects.

We made a puppet show using the song Rain drop Keeping Fall on my Boat

I purchased the song here:

Since I do not post videos of my own students,

...here a video example from You Tube

We also painted rainbow and created these pictures.

First, we painted rainbows on an extra long piece of white construction paper

 and add blue water on the bottom.

 After it dried, the students cut out the Arks that I had copied onto brown card stock

and glued them in the middle of the rainbow.

Pringles and Prophets

This week I presented a mini-workshop on teaching Bible stories to young children 

and completed my first week of school with 24 new kindergarten students.

I want to share with you what the teachers in my department created during the workshop.  

It was so much fun, some of them did not want to stop.

We gathered Pringles cans, felt, markers, yarn, buttons, pipe cleaners and burlap. 

I found champagne color felt at Hobby Lobby for the faces.  

We used hot glue guns to attach the felt.  

Rubber bands worked great to shape the head pieces. 

Then thick yarn, raffia, etc. was tied around the bands and waist.

What did I learn from this project?  

It probably would be a good idea to add some weight inside the bottom of the can. 

I got the idea for this project from Pinterest:

From A day in the life of a Preachermans Wife
