Religion Week 8

Our worksheets yesterday had a few questions about "Was Crucified" from the Creed.  In 5th and 6th, we also reviewed the homework about the Christmas present wrapped up in special gift wrap and ribbons, just as God's gift of Jesus Christ to the world was wrapped up in the Immaculate Virgin Mary.
The CCM memory work was the 7 corporal works of mercy.  So for the craft, we cut out the spiritual and corporal works of mercy to put besides out special popsicle stick manger (found here.)  The kids also made hay to put in the manger for Advent every time they complete a work of mercy to make the Christ Child warm and cozy on Christmas morning.  They are also welcome to write their good deed on the piece of hay if desired.  Unfortunately, 5th and 6th grade did not get to finish the mangers, but they are pretty simple to do at home.  The hot glue was a little messy, but they turned out okay :)
Also, thank you for a wonderful semester!  My kids and I had such a great time each week at co-op because of everybody's hard work and dedication!  God bless you all!
