My husband and I subbed for a fifth grade CCD class who were studying the fifth grade lesson, The Acceptance of the Father’s Will, the events of Holy Week. I downloaded a free mini-book from TPT. Together the class and I laid out the events occurring from Palm Sunday to Holy Friday. We jotted down devotions which coincide with these events: such as the fifth Luminous Mystery, Stations of the Cross, the Last Seven Words of Jesus, Veneration of the Cross, Adoration, and Stations of the Cross. It took about thirty minutes to go through the events in order together and identify the devotions. The kids spent thirty minutes assembling and coloring the pages. We felt two keys events, the Scourging at the Pillar, and the Way of the Cross were omitted from the mini-book page. The kids drew their own images and labeled them. I feel kids learn more when the lesson is interactive. The kids were upbeat and engaged.
