It’s Time to Begin Reviewing!

Joe Paprocki Scripture

It’s hard to believe but it is that time of the year when I begin to review what we’ve learned this year! In other words, I will not be teaching any new material for the remainder of this year! We will review all of our Old Testament stories tomorrow, using my Bible Bookmarks to guide us in locating them in the Bible.

Bible BookmarksHere is the worksheet we will be using. Please note: this is based on the stories and passages we were actually able to cover this year. There are certainly more stories that are of great importance in the Old Testament, however, we could not cover them all given the limited time available in a parish religious education program (that’s not a criticism of the program I teach in…it is simply the reality everywhere).

Next week, we will do a Jeopardy-like review of the whole year followed by a week off for Holy Week, followed by our Mercy Experience to Ronald McDonald House, and then our last class (final assessment) followed by a closing liturgy on May 6.

How’s your “home stretch” looking?

Tonight, I got to take a peek at the room that I will be teaching in this year…it’s the school library! I’m so excited because the focus of 6th grade is the Old Testament and one of the images that I love to use to teach about the Bible is “God’s Library!” Also the room is carpeted which will be very conducive to guided reflections. I’ll have 14 students and I plan to move some […]

I wonder how many parents have a dandelion, given to them by a child, pressed in a memory book somewhere. A dandelion is a very ordinary thing—a weed, actually. And yet, when a child picks a dandelion to give to Mommy or Daddy to show love, it becomes a precious thing. It is not tossed out, but is set aside, first in a vase with water and then pressed in the pages of a memory […]
