Level 6 Student Workbook Guidance

We encourage each family to have a Bible that is accessible to your child/children.

Begin by reviewing the Sign of the Cross and then say the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father.  All these prayers can be found on p. 6. Your Level 6 child will learn to recite the Apostles’ Creed p. 13.

Independently read p. 10-11 and then discuss with the family. If you have a Bible try completing p. 12

 

Read independently p. 14-15 and discuss with family and complete pgs. 17-18

 

Exploring the Trinity - Complete p. 20

 

Read the Story of Creation p. 21-32.  Choose one or two of the activities as follow up. 

 

As a family read the Story of St. Francis pgs. 34-35.

Read along on p. 37 while listening to the “Canticle of the Sun” on You Tube.  There are several beautiful recordings. Complete pg. 38. 

 

Consider taking a Nature Walk with your family.  Walking around your neighborhood, visiting Our Lady of the Island Shrine in Manorville, taking a walk on the beach, or walking the grounds of SJE are several suggestions. Use pgs. 30-31 on your walk.

 

Complete pgs.39.

 

Review pgs. 40-41 as a family.  The older child will certainly be able to assist his/her siblings with these words.  Flash cards are helpful.

Also consider the following:

 

A craft project: A Prayer Rock-   Find a special rock and use paint or markers to write the word PRAY on it, then draw a cross, a heart, a flower or other inspirational symbols on the rocks.  As an alternative, you could use a piece of fabric to place the rock inside, then tie it with a ribbon.  Families can place on a bed, night stand or table to serve as a simple reminder to incorporate prayer in their daily life.
