The big idea of our Sweeter than Honey CCD theme this year is to encourage the kids to know and memorize Scripture, specifically the Psalms, so that they know that God's promises are so sweet.
Each month, I'll share a set of coloring pages, one for each Sunday, featuring the Psalm from Sunday Mass. Using special fonts and simple decorations, they are meant to be a quick addition to your weekly class as an aide to memorizing the Responsorial Psalm. Add it to your opening and closing prayer, give the students a few minutes to color it during class, and send it home to be hung up on the fridge or bathroom mirror.
Here are the coloring pages for the four Sundays of January:

I'll post coloring pages of the Psalms once a month, so stay tuned! You can find the August Coloring Pages here, the September Coloring Pages here, the October Coloring Pages here, the November Coloring Pages here, and the December Coloring Pages here. You might also like our Sweeter than Honey theme resources (folder covers, logo, signs, etc.), Sweeter than Honey theme decorations, and St. Abigail and St. Ambrose patron Saint coloring pages.
Hi! Sorry to be anxious but do you plan to post February 2017 pages? Or are my poor students left to my devices?
ReplyDeleteHa! No! It was on my list...and honestly forgot to finish them up. Will be posted probably on Friday. Thanks for the reminder!
DeleteOh dear! I'm so sorry to nag! I'm recovering from surgery and have a parent covering my 5th grade CCD class for two weeks. My students have enjoyed doing the coloring and I read them the entire psalm while they work on it. It has become part of our pattern. I really appreciate all the effort and artistry that you put into what you post... and I'm sure that you have a million other things to do!
DeleteNo, no, no! Not nagging, really it was a good reminder. I just pushed it to the bottom of the list and somehow it's the last day of January. And I'm grateful/honored that it is part of your class time.:) Hope your recovery goes well and you are eager to get back to those kiddos when you can! :)
