The Internet was down for two hours and I thought I wasn't going to be able to write today, but luckily the Internet started working a few minutes ago.
Today I am going to share the project I had been working on, which I mentioned a few posts ago. I teach a Saturday school class in my local church and last week I had to be the substitute of two other classes so I decided to do a little lesson that involved a story and an activity to follow that. I read them a story called "The Three Trees" which can be found here (http://www.holyspirit-catholic.com/story_of_3_trees.htm) .
After reading the story to my students I let them
write as many dreams as they wanted to place in
a Hopes & Dreams jar which I forgot to take, so
decided to do at home. Here is what I came
up with...
and dreams I couldn't find one that could fit all
the pieces of paper. Feel free to make your own
and share, this project is usually done by people
at the beginning of the year so that at the end
of that year they could go back and see which
hopes & dreams they actually got to
accomplish, but I decided to do this a bit later
than anyone else.
Here is what I used for my "jar" of hopes & dreams...
• basket or jar (I used an old shower caddy container: $1)
• paper for the wishes (try different colored paper: $1)
Optional:
• Ribbon (to tie the wishes and to decorate with: $1)
It's really simple and fun to do with just about
anyone. Also, there are many different types of
jars out there that people have made that inspired
me to do this project. Here are a few...
