After working with the Synthesis of the Mass together a few weeks ago, only one child chose to stay and begin making a missal. But every child had something in mind to return to either from the previous week or from several weeks back. Here is a taste of the variety of their work with pictures taken over the course of about sixty seconds.
 Two girls had laid out the Fettuccina, placing the text cards onto the strip in order. One child is making a booklet of this work, putting it into her own words and illustrating it.  One child returned to the Books of the Bible material and used her Bible to restore the books in order.  Two boys returned to work on copying the Individual Gifts Strip. They finished by the end of Atrium and went directly into looking up Scriptures of Jesus' Infancy, copying them from the Bible "to make a book."  Finally, two boys chose to set up the Model Altar and label the items. In need of a challenge I invited them to take out all of the altar cards, mix them up, and label them. |  Two children, after seeing the Gifts Strip, decided to make a list of gifts of creation that work together like flowers and bees. I cannot wait to see their list!  The child who remained with the Synthesis of the Mass chose to restore the materials but keep out the text cards, putting them in order. He then began copying and illustrating each prayer.  One child returned to his chosen follow-up to the Individual Gifts strip, summarizing its content in his own words and illustrating it.  After the pictures and labels had been completed they moved right into matching the definitions to the cards. |
