These fish were made using small paper plates with no coating.

Students scribble with magic markers all over the paper.

Then spray the plates with water to blend the colors.

When they are dry cut of edging leaving a tail only.

Cut out the mouth in a triangle shape.

Use the remaining plate trimmings to make fins.

Add goggly eyes and glue on fins.

Re-enacting the Bible Story

We Re-enacted the story with a boat made from Legos,

a net purchased from Hobby Lobby,  fishing hats, and soft stuffed fish.

Students took turns being fishermen and fish swimming around the boat.

When the Jesus puppet came and told them to throw their net to the other side, 

the students with the fish dropped them into the net.  

We actually made it into a movie using the Fisher Men Song.

Due to copyrights and protection of children's identity, you will have to use a little imagination.

Here are some samples of songs that I like to use for this lesson.

Puppets and Songs 

This is a clip of a puppet show I made with my students using these puppets and the song Goliath by the Donut Man.  Students have been blurred out but you can still follow their movements.

I also made this fun activity

I traced a large projection of Goliath created by Phillip Martin
Then I placed a whiffle ball into a sock for the students to sling at Goliath!

Shamrock Trinity FREEBIE!

Teach students that St. Patrick's Day is more than leprechauns, rainbows, and pots of gold. Learning about the Patron Saint of Ireland is not only fun, it is also inspiring, as St. Patrick sacrificed much, endured hardships and isolation, all in the name of spreading the Gospel of Christ.

Although the story of how St. Patrick used the shamrock to teach about the Trinity is a legend, reading and learning about it brings a Godly element to our celebrations.

Thanks Lauren!!!

I found this great song about St. Patrick on Youtube that would go great with your Shamrock Lesson.

Lenten Cross Project for Kids

When I first started teaching in the wonderful Catholic School in which I teach, I had one of those awesome parents who was always there when I needed an extra hand and always had a smile on her face when she was in the classroom. During the time that she was with me, she shared this sweet Lenten cross project that I do every year. I think of her every time I get the materials out- what a sweet memory!




This project is easy and if you are looking for a striking bulletin board, this fills that need! (Click the picture above to get a Google doc of the project!)

The first thing I do is teach my students the meaning of the colors:
BLACK - We all sin.
RED - Jesus died.
WHITE - Jesus wiped our sins away.
GREEN - Jesus gives us new life.
YELLOW - We have new life in Heaven with Jesus.

To do the project,  children trace the cross onto purple construction paper and glue onto a half sheet of black construction paper. Children cut small pieces of black, red, white, green, and yellow construction paper and glue onto the cross in a mosaic pattern. Glue the words onto the other side of the black paper. Voila! An easy craft with a BIG meaning!

When my students finish their crosses, they make a fun Lenten bracelet using the Lenten colors.

 Until next time!

Blessings,
