The Benedictines learned about who the Lamb of God is this week. The Benedictine Class Mom's did an excellent job discussing this with the children while I got the craft set up. The children got to use watercolor paints this week, and they loved that. They were instructed to paint the lamb's body to find a surprise. The surprise was that the name "Jesus" appeared after they painted it. Then they added a head and limbs and a cross to complete their Lamb of God.
In the older classes, we learned about the Lavabo and the Secret prayers. That completed ch. 7. Then we started Ch. 8, and talked about the center of the Mass, the Canon. We were also able to discuss the Preface and the Sanctus. Since the crossword puzzle was such a hit with the Franciscans last week, I made word puzzles for all the older grades 1-6. All the kids really enjoyed this, and it was a great way to review!
