Tricia Hancock-Holidays Around the World

# data[].attributes.body
I am using this lesson plan right now with my third grade class in preparation for Easter.

# data[].attributes.body
I am using this Lent Resource from TPT to teach my class about Lent and reflect on our own Lenten journeys. I made the worksheets into a packet with a cover that we use everyday during Religion.

# data[].attributes.body
I used this as a supplement to a lesson from my textbook about morality. We spoke about God's law of love and the 2 great commandments. I used this document and tweaked it (removed some commandments) and had the students work with partners to rewrite one of the commandments. They pulled a commandment number out of a hat and had to make a poster to rewrite the commandment (and illustrate), understanding it in a different way. It was cool!

We are just finishing "James and the Giant Peach" and while it is Lent it is a perfect time to reflect upon Christian character in ourselves and others.

Integrating Religion into Handwriting and Social Studies

# data[].attributes.body
In January & February I use the bible verse Corinthians 13:4,5 to show what love is, and what it isn't. We connect this in Social Studies with a lesson on Martin Luther King Jr., and how to treat others with respect and kindness, and then in February I have the children write the verse in cursive.

Lesson Objective: How to write a cohesive paragraph

ADW standard: LA.3.4.3 LA.3.WP.3 Create single paragraphs with topic sentences and simple supporting facts and details.

1.      Draw a hamburger board:

2: Explain the individual steps of a paragraph, filling each into the hamburger on the board.

a. Explain that individual sentences surrounding one topic can be connected together in paragraphs. Paragraphs are composed of 5-7 sentences. The topic sentence (top bun) is a strong sentences explaining what you are writing about.

b. Fill in hamburger top bun: I think that giving up television for Lent is a good choice for several reasons.

c. Explain that the lettuce, tomato, and meat inside the bun is composed of supporting reasons that explain and expand upon your topic sentence. For the meat, students need transition words. “First, giving up television will give me more time to read, which will help me be a better reader and speller.”

d. “Next, giving up television will give me more time to play sports, which is healthy for my body.”

e.  “Finally, giving up television will give me more time to talk to my loved ones.”

f. Say that the bottom bun restates the topic sentence in a new way and shows that the paragraph is over.

g. “For a multitude of reasons, giving up a T.V. screen will positively impact my life.”

3. Students receive a hamburger graphic organizer and write about what they are giving up for Lent and why it is important.

4. Students use a My Editing Checklist and read their paragraphs to a partner.

5. Students complete a final draft on loose leaf paper.

6. Students share responses.

ADW Standard: LA.3.5.3
LA.3.WA.3 Write personal, persuasive, and formal letters, thank-you notes, and invitations that show awareness of the knowledge and interests of the audience and establish a purpose; include the date, proper salutation, body, closing and signature.
(Religion standard) 11. VOCATION: Students will describe a vocation as a calling given to them by God to serve others. They will understand that Jesus calls all people to a vocation of discipleship which can take place in a variety of ways: marriage, priesthood, religious life, or single life.

Teach students about vocations, and how you can use your profession to show God's love and serve others. Students then write friendly letters to parents or community members whose profession exemplifies service to others.

Definitely agree with the "Lent Activity" post about TpT. We do the stations day by day using activities like this one. We use "Way of the Cross" which is a book of the stations for children. The use of the book and an interactive notebook helps the students remember and relate the concepts to their lives.

I must say that I love teachers pay teacher because it really has some wonderful activities and support for things that you are teaching. For religion, I am always trying to find resources that can make my instruction more meaningful and exciting. Here is a recent activity I use for Lent from teachers pay teachers.
