It's Tuesday again~ can y'all believe October is almost over? This month flew by. We had a great class, even though I had quite a few students missing. We have all types of bugs going around here (strep/stomach bug/colds). Over half the class was out. With such a small class, we had lots of interaction.

Our Saint~ Saint Bernadette

Saint Bernadette was born in Lourdes, France. When she was 14 years when a beautiful lady appeared to her. The lady in blue told her that she was the Immaculate Conception. She asked for a chapel to be built at the grotto. We read about her life from the Saints for Young Readers for Every Day. They colored in their coloring page of Saint Bernadette. 

Here are a few other great books to learn more about Saint Bernadette...

Bernadette: The Little Girl from Lourdes

Yellow Roses on Her Feet: The Story of Bernadette of Lourdes

Bernadette, Our Ladies Little Servant

Our Virtue~ Fortitude

Fortitude is being brave and strong in the face of trials. Saint Bernadette showed great fortitude when no one believes her about the beautiful lady appearing to her. She kept going to the grotto and doing what the lady asked of her. 

Old Testament Lesson~ Noah's Ark 

Noah's Ark by Edward Hicks

We read the story about Noah and how he built the ark after God asked him to. I read On Noah's Ark by Jan Brett. I love the illustrations in this book. The kids colored a picture of Noah's Ark while I read the story. 

The students then worked on a Noah's Ark maze and they were given a crossword puzzle to take home if they wanted to do it. 

We had a cute Noah's Ark craft to work on. 

                                

A tasty snack to enjoy while teaching this lesson is animal crackers. Everyone loves animal crackers. 

Catechism Lesson~ Made in God's Image

We did a scavenger hunt looking for things that God had made or man had made. We talked about how God made us in his image. He made us in the image of God in our moral, spiritual, and intellectual nature. It means that we are different from the other creatures God created. We can know and learn things. 

We talked about why God made us. He made us because he loved us. He made us to know Him, to love Him, and to Serve him. 

We made a craft about being made in God's Image.

You can find the craft here.

Prayers~

We are still working on the Sign of the Cross, Our Father, and Glory Be.
