As we move through the season of Lent, I am continuing to teach my kindergarten class about the love that Jesus has for us. Children need to hear again and again that Jesus’ love was so great that he died on the cross for us. I refer to Jesus as our teacher, and tell the [...]

Did you know that February 14 falls on Sunday in 2010? Have you considered ways you might “seize the day” for the children’s ministries in your church? Maybe you’ve been thinking about it, but aren’t quite sure what to do. Or perhaps you find yourself knee-deep in the planning process.
In either case, you may want to consider the [...]

I feel like screaming, “It’s not over!”
True enough, the Christmas music in stores is gone, decorations and trees have disappeared from the malls, and few people are jumping up and down with excitement at the prospect of buying ½ price Christmas merchandise for next year. Most everybody is headed back to work or school.
But the Wise Men won’t arrive [...]

As we focus on preparing ourselves for the coming of our Savior, I feel it is also important to remember to teach our children to focus on the true meaning of the season. Since I am fortunate enough to teach in a Catholic school, I have ample opportunity to help my students stay grounded in the [...]

“Black Friday” is upon us. If you plan to wander the mall, looking for a gift you can give to your elementary-age students this year–one you can afford that’s also appropriate for both boys and girls–here’s hope for a more relaxing day. This year CTA offers a great alternative for Sunday school teachers, Awana leaders, CCD teachers, [...]

Five years ago our preschool was looking for a way host a Christmas celebration for our families. We decide on an Advent Worship and Cookie Reception. We’ve made it an annual event. The service offers an opportunity for even our non-member families to gather in a casual, non-threatening environment to celebrate the Savior’s birth.
CTA has helped make [...]

Fall is upon us in all its glory. Families have adjusted to the “back to school schedule,” the temperatures are dropping, and so are the leaves!
I find this to be a very special time of year, yet another beautiful season God sends us to enjoy. With these changes, we also begin to see pumpkins and [...]

As a preschool teacher in a Christian school, I get to create art projects for my students. I look especially for projects that are fun and faith-filled. Parents love to see what their children have created, so art projects can provide the perfect opportunity to share Jesus in a non-threatening way. Connecting an art project [...]

Christ the Savior Is Born!
I would like to share that I ordered the “Christ the Savior Is Born!” party packs with nativity craft kit to use with my kindergarten class and with my 8-year-old son and 4-year-old granddaughter. What a big hit they were!
The kits were easy to assemble and the children loved the experience of “creating” their own nativity set, [...]
