Praying the Rosary

October is the month of the rosary and we took the opportunity to learn to pray the rosary. To make this form of meditative prayer accessible for our littles, we prayed one decade each day this week.

We made single-decade beaded rosaries on pipe cleaners. 

The decade of 10 beads can be moved around as each prayer is shared.

To connect our daily decade to the full rosary, we coloured in the 10 beads (decade) we prayed each day. 

Learning the Hail Mary prayer has been central to our exploration of the rosary. A "puzzle-piece" prayer came home. Consider praying this prayer as a family.

May: Praying with Mary

May is the month of Mary and we took the opportunity to learn to pray the rosary. To make this form of meditative prayer accessible for our little ones in Grade 1, we prayed one decade each day for five days.

To prepare for our Decade-a-Day prayer journey, we made single-decade rosaries. The decade of 10 beads can be moved around as each prayer is shared.

To connect our daily decade to the full rosary, we coloured in the 10 beads we prayed each day. 

Learning the Hail Mary prayer has been central to our exploration of the rosary. A "puzzle-piece" prayer came home. Consider praying this prayer as a family. 

Today we took part in a walking rosary. We were able to pray a full rosary ... outside! For each of the 5 decades, we walked to a new location! We prayed in the forest, near the playground, on the soccer field, and more! It was a beautiful, meaningful way to finish off the month of May.

THANKFUL THURSDAYS

We. Love. Thursdays. We really do!

We call this day "Thankful Thursday" and recently we have begun journaling about what we are thankful for. Gratitude breeds positivity and it is a wonderful lifelong practice that will help our students see the blessings God has sprinkled into our lives!

This year we are journaling in beautiful Grateful People journals. This is a year-long practice that will help us to see and appreciate all of the goodness around us!

Praying the Holy Rosary

To prepare for our Decade-a-Day prayer journey, we made single-decade rosaries. Our Grade 3 buddies came to lend a hand. The decade of 10 beads can be moved around as each prayer is shared.

Learning the Hail Mary prayer has been central to our exploration of the rosary. A "puzzle-piece" prayer came home yesterday. Consider praying this prayer as a family. 

Today we gathered with our Grade 3 buddies to pray a full rosary ... outside! For each of the 5 decades, we walked to a new location! We prayed in the forest, on the playground, on the soccer field, on top of Dinosaur Hill, and even by the new olive tree in front of the school! It was a beautiful, meaningful way to finish off our week! Thank you, Mrs. Rockwell, for leading us.
