Finding Resources and Ideas for Next Week

I'm hoping to post links and resources as I develop my lesson each day during the week.  If you are finding resources and/or links that you wish to contribute too, then e-mail them here.

Running through the scope and sequence for Lesson 3.  For Grade 5, the title is "God's Revelation".  This would be a good week for me to introduce my Books of the Bible lesson.  Need to get some new match books and the old ones need recovering.  But the real theme is "God's covenant with Abraham finds its fulfillment in Christ".  The scripture s Genesis 12:1-Genesis 17:16 (that's a lot to cover!) and Exodus 3:6.


CCC references are 59-63 (God Chooses Abraham and Forms His People Israel) and 1961-1964 (The Old Law).

Catholic Social Teaching Themes are Solidarity, Rights and Responsibilities, and God's Creation.

Vocabulary words: Hebrews, Islam, Jews, Judaism, Muslims, Revelation

Saints and Holy People: Abraham and Sarah

Basic Prayer's Lord's Prayer

Other Grades: This theme does not integrate with other grades this week.  However, Grade 4's theme is a lot like our theme last week, so look over yesterday's post for what we did in our class.

Think that our class yesterday was a wonderful gift from God enlightening and enriching the teachers as well as the students.  The movie clip from The Miracle Maker was a wonderful transition from the gospel reading theme of making good choices to the first part of the lesson and showed Jesus as the hero that the lesson was calling upon is to become. The meditation on finding Our Heart's home lead us to the kind of solemnity and union with Jesus, lead to a deeper appreciation of the wonderful lesson in Go Down Death- we saw the old woman going to her heart's home and saw how Jesus saves us and loves us completely in death.  It was so beautiful.  Hope that this week will be as wonderful.

Finding God's video recommendations for this chapter were:
Genesis: Call and Promise; A Family Affair
How Do You Spell God?
Abraham (The Genesis Project Inc)- can't find this too much noise.

Think I will check out the first one- there is one copy available in the library.
