Happy Tuesday! CCD (Sunday school) is about to start and I wanted to share with y'all my room theme for the year and my room set up! A few things have changed, while some have stayed the same. 

Let's jump on in shall we!

Therese suggested an outdoor/woodsy theme this year. It is a theme we have not done yet and it was something different, so off we went to search for ideas. We scoured Pinterest and came up with a few ideas to make our own.  

Come on In~

For our door, we decided to do a leaf, tree, and acorn theme. The main background is blue with yellow and orange acorns. I added a few green leaves to fill in the door. The slogan I found to use is "Welcome to Our Neck of the Woods!

Inspirational Accent Wall~

For our accent wall, we went with mountains! We created mountains using paper and added the Bible verse, "Faith can move mountains." from Matthew 17:20. It's short and sweet, but packs a punch. Plus it's easy for first graders to read and understand. 

Our Prayer Wall~

Next up is our prayer wall, here is where we keep track of the prayers we are learning. We check them off for each student once they have learned the prayer. I chose to use ladybugs for the girls and turtles for the boys. I created a patch of grass for each student and then added the 5 prayers we would be working on. 

The following areas of our room have not changed. We still have the rosary and Mary section. I have beautiful images of the Hail Mary laminated and hanging in the room. 

I have the PAPAL FLAG and pictures of the last few popes. 

We have our saint and virtue boards to add to throughout the year. I have a WORLD MAP to show where the saint lived during their lifetime... just a little bit of geography for the students. 

Last year, I added a colorful BIBLE STORY MAP to help go along with our Bible stories. 

I have a section that shows Jesus and the Apostles. I have laminated pictures of the STATIONS OF THE CROSS above my whiteboard. 

I have posters hanging with the 5 prayers we are working on during the year. These are located next to the student's tracking charts. 

I have a birthday wall, so we can celebrate each child's special day!

Well, that's it for now. We'll see y'all next week!
