We signed up our niece and nephew at our church since they will be with us most of the summer. Our niece goes to a catholic school and will be entering the 4th...
I've heard good things about the "Echoes of Faith" catechist training series, too, but haven't had time to view the videos. They're produced by Resources for...
We have two extra classes for older students who haven't made communion, one for 4th thru 6th and another for 7th and up. It seems odd, though, that your niece...
Do you remember the priest at our church there in California back in '81' Steve? Well, there was that problem here that turned the mom off, then my nieces...
Stopped in to this old freindly place to see what's going on with my fellow Catechists. It's been a long, long time since I've been here. I took a long break...
Well Steve, That is one of my lifelong dreams. I have always though how great it would be to go to mass in some parish on the other side of the county and hear...
Stephanie, I remember that you had said something about using some type of report cards to let the kids' parents know about the progress of their children. I ...
Good Luck, Paul, on your musical efforts. I've written some religious music myself, but most of it isn't hymns, that is, music that a congregation can sing in ...
Hey, welcome Maureen, looking forward to hearing from you. Paul, will get back to you about those reports. Hope everyone is having a nice summer and break,...
just wanted to mention to everyone that I really don't respond to personal email notes concerning psr or ccd. If you would like to be addressed please post ...
Just a short introduction. I will be teaching 8th grade classes this year in our P.R.E. program. I am teaching a class on Prayer. It is a 12 week class, so I ...
Welcome to our club Don. What's the weather like in Oklahoma City in October. I have to go there on a business trip. I taught a 7th & 8th grade combination ...
I'm still doing 6th grade, of course. My daughter Carrie will be in my class this year. It's always a challenge to teach your own children in a classroom...
In October the only sure thing will be that it will be windy in OKC (as it is the other 11 months too)Most likely it will be mild weather-60's to 70's. I have...
I've had my kids in my classes before and the biggest problem I've found is that most of the children in my classes don't get much catechism at home and only...
Our DCM has told us that for the Jr High kids that we must keep it fun, include a lot of activities geared toward that age group. Our primary objective is to...
Paul -<br>Yes, I had the same problem when my older daughter was in my class, and also, with children of other teachers. I try not to appear biased, but the...
I taught 5th grade for several years. This year I am teaching the confirmation class which will be made up of my former 5th grade students, including my ...
I understand this problem, but I've been thinking that there is usually one student, whether its your child or not, who always has an answer for everything. I...
Good idea, I'll try that. I've usually just let students pick their own partners in projects, but that sometimes leads to private conversations and cliqueing....
good afternoon, all! Well, I have decided that this year I will teach Catechism. We are having a meeting this Weds. to order materials, and decide who teaches...
Nobody ever really knows what they are getting into. I know that I didn't either when I started this (19 years ago). <br><br>Maybe when you say your heart ...
