Opening Prayer

God

Have you ever received something
marvelous for which you did not ask?

That’s God, who knows all the secrets
which you keep hidden in your heart.

Have you ever found yourself in a difficult
situation for which there seemed to be no
solution,

And then, in the twinkling of an eye, the answer
became as clear as daylight?

That’s God, who unceasingly takes our problems
into his hands and helps us solve them.

Everything goes better when God takes the lead.

Let us share with everyone the great love God
has for us. Amen.

from the Catholic School Religious Education Curriculum
Evaluation Matrix by Brian Lemoi

"All of these tasks are necessary. As the vitality
of the human body depends on the proper
function of all of its organs, so also the
maturation of the Christian life requires that it
be cultivated in all its dimensions: knowledge of
the faith, liturgical life, moral formation, prayer,
belonging to community, missionary spirit.
When catechesis omits one of these elements,
the Christian faith does not attain full
development.

Project Collaboration in the Classroom:
Padlet
• is a virtual wall that allows
people to express their
thoughts on a common
topic easily.
• It works like an online sheet
of paper where people can
put any content (e.g.
images, videos, documents,
text) anywhere on the page,
• collaborate together with
anyone, from any device.

• Scripture Review: Padlet offers a great venue for students to share
their thoughts. Young people can highlight favorite scripture, ask
questions, discuss characters and more. Teachers can then take the
page and present it in class to spark continued face-to-face
discussion.
• Topic Summary: Useful for any subject from Ten Commandments,
beatitudes, corporal works of mystery, sacraments, mass etc. Padlet
can help teachers summarize a large amount of information and
present it in a visually pleasing way. Teachers can put in text, photos,
maps and other learning tools and share the image with students.
• Prayer Request Wall: Each student can post an individual message,
requesting prayers for themselves or others.
• Questions Board: Students can access a "questions" board 24/7 and
anonymously post questions. The teacher can then read off and
answer the questions each day.
• Opinion/Forum: Educators can post a particular topic or issue, and
students can post their opinions on the subject.
