Good Morning, dear friends! I hope you are enjoying this beautiful week! 

This week we learned about Adam and Eve, the fall from grace, and original sin. It was a busy week!

Our Saints~ Saint Jacinta and Saint Francisco 

This set of saints is always a hit with the children. First, they are kids. Second, the picture is a real picture, not a painting. This allows the kids to realize that they too can become saints and the saints are in fact, real people! Sometimes that is hard for little ones to grasp. 

We go over the story of Saint Jacinta, Saint Francisco, and Saint Lucia. We learn about the story of Fatima and the beautiful lady that appears to the three children.

A wonderful movie to watch with your little ones is The Day the Sun Danced: The True Story of Fatima

Check out Catholicicing.com for great activities to celebrate Our Lady of Fatima.

Our Virtue~ Honesty 

Honesty is telling the truth!

I have a cute story about a spider and a fly I read to teach about lies and trickery. A spider tricks a fly into climbing into his web, just like the devil tries to trick us. 

After the story, the children make a cute or scary spider to remind them of being honest. 

You can read more about this lesson here.

Week 6 Lesson~ Adam and Eve

We read the story of Adam and Eve. This is can be found in any children's Bible. 

Here are two of my favorite children's Bibles. 

The Beginner's Bible 

This one has colorful pictures and the stories are short which are perfect for a classroom setting, especially if you have a time constraint. 

The New Catholic Picture Bible

This one contains accurate Bible stories that go into more detail. 

I always like to include an apple snack during this lesson since the forbidden fruit is often referred to as an apple. 

We talk about Adam and Eve's sin and how it is called original sin. We discuss how we are all born with original sin, but the sacrament of Baptism takes away original sin. 

A fun craft I found online was a snake pipe cleaner craft. This is perfect for boys and girls. The boys love the snake idea and the girls like the beads used. Plus it has googly eyes!

You can find the craft here!

A fun game we play if the weather is nice out is Stop and Go (Red Light Green Light). We add use it to remind the kids to stop and think before they make a bad decision. Is it a sin? Is it good or bad?

Have a great week!

Till Next Time,
