Children working in the Atrium 

The boy on the left is doing the "City of Jerusalem" puzzle.  They have to first read the path Jesus took the night of the Last Supper up until his Crucifixion and put the buildings down in that order.  Then they can continue with the walls and the pools.  On the right this child is doing the Preparation of the Chalice.  In Level II they read the words of the priest as they do this work and they take it very seriously.  On the bottom left, my aide who is also a Level I catechist reads the Bible story of the Good Samaritan to a boy who was absent and wanted to know this story.  The girl on the right is working with a puzzle on The Act of Contrition prayer.  Children who have learning problems have great success with these puzzles.

The girl (left) above works with "the Cenacle and the Last Supper" as well as preparing the cruets. 

The boy on the top right is doing the felt work for the Paschal Candle that we did in class that night.  

The boys on the bottom right are working on the "Presentation in the Temple."  I thought it was so nice that the boy reading offered to read the Bible story to the other boy because he was absent and wanted to know it.  You can see that they both are very attentive.
