CCD and Religious Education Starting Soon





Since CCD and religious education is starting soon, I will start posting lots of activities and ideas pertaining to this starting in August. I hope this will help you get ready for the year ahead.


Things I Will Post:

Gospel for the Mass (Year B)- I will post the Gospel for the Mass Year B by date and scripture. A link will take you directly to the post on my blog for that Gospel reading. I hope it will make it easier for you to find what you need. I plan on doing a Year C and a Year A page as well so everyone can find activities whenever they need them.

Church Potluck Recipes- A few of my favorite dishes that I like to bring that might come in handy for you.

Student Folders/Binders- To cut down on lost papers and to be better organized.

Top Things That MUST Be Done Before Every Class- What are the top things that must be done before every class? Well, everyone is different as well as their needs, but maybe sharing what we found that has to be done before class so it can run smoothly and efficiently will help others.

Crafty Crafters- Neat and educational crafts for Bible stories and religious topics.

Special Events for the Month- Each month I will post special events for that month. I will have links to activities, coloring, crafts, games, puzzles, worksheets, quizzes, etc. that can help you with your classroom or at home.

My Top Ten Must Have Items For CCD- To have a safe and educational classroom here is a list of My Top Ten Must Have Items For CCD.

What You Should Do The First Day of Classes?- The Boy Scout moto: “Always be prepared!” is also essential for any catechist or religion education teacher. The infamous question “What should you do?” the first day of classes nags in the back of your mind and you cringe every time just thinking about it. Fear not, there is hope and you can have a great beginning to the start of the year if you utilize the following ideas.

What will you do in your classroom or home?- I will post what I will be doing in my classroom each week. Please comment so I can add the link to your blog to the post. We would love to see what you do!

We call our religious education program PREP (Parish Religious Education Program) instead of CCD. Does any other church call their program PREP?

Patricia, we call it PREP, too. Father changed it about 5 years ago...said something about CCD being an outdated term.

Patricia- There are lots of different names. CCD is the oldest and I guess the most generic. :)

Would love to see the First Day activities. When should I expect them to be posted? I'm having a CCD in-service this weekend and could really use them.
Thanks so much for these resources.
