All School Lenten Retreat

On Friday, we had an all school Lenten Retreat. After Lunch, the whole school said the Stations of the Cross. Then, we broke up in to cluster groups (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8). We broke up each cluster group into three mixed age groups. Then each group went to a classroom and did an activity about one of the pillars of Lent. 

I was in charge of planning activities for the K-2 cluster. Here is what we did:

In the second grade room, the kids learned about prayer. Then they made a prayer cross.

In the first grade room, the kids learned about fasting. Then they made a stained glass crucifix craft.

In the Kindergarten room, the kids learned about almsgiving. Then, the kids made cards for people in our parish who are sick. 

All of the K-2 kids went to each room to learn about prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. We had a wonderful, faith filled afternoon.
