Good Morning, friends! Well, our first class was a success. I have nine adorable little ones this year. There are 6 boys and 3 girls in my class this year. I like having a smaller class. I feel like I get to know them a little better when there are not so many little ones needing help.
Our first class is always an introduction class. We door a room tour. I explain our theme, the prayer wall, our prayer table, and the good deeds jar, and we go over the expectations and rules for the year.
I shared our theme in my previous post. I did a farm theme this year.
Our prayer wall has posters of the 5 prayers we will be learning this year: The Sign of the Cross, The Our Father, The Hail Mary, The Glory Be, and the Guardian Angel.
Each student has a progress chart that goes along with our farm theme.
To get to know one another, I start with simple introductions. I have everyone, including myself, share our name, our favorite color, any pets we may have, and any sports we may play. The children love learning about each other and enjoy finding out that they have similar likes and dislikes.
After our introductions, we play a Get To Know You Bingo game. I couldn't find the link to the one I use; I've used it for years, but a simple Google search will pop up tons of choices that would work for children of various ages.
After our game, we talked a little bit about what a saint is and what a virtue is. I showed them our posters, where we will add a new saint and virtue each week.
We then read the introduction and Seeing the Lord from Little Acts of Grace 2. These are a great introduction to God and how He loves us and is always with us.
After our story, it was time to line up and head home.
