Jesus said come follow me and I will make you fishermen of men Luke 5:1-11.
This is first grade so to reiterate the lesson I made the kids these little graham cracker treats. These were super simple to make! I just spread 3/4 of the graham cracker with blue tinted melted white chocolate. While the chocolate was wet I sprinkled some graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of the graham cracker and added the goldfish with little sprinkle balls.
The kids loved the graham cracker treats. I used cinnamon graham crackers which made them so sweet.
We also learned about St. Blaise because the feast day of St. Blaise was February 3rd. To reiterate the lesson of St. Blaise I made the kids some candle cookies. We watched a short movie about the life of St. Blaise and since he is the patron Saint of throat disorders Monsignor John came by the classroom and blessed the children's throats. It was adorable.
I simply cut a small marshmallow on the diagonal. Press the sticky portion of the marshmallow into sprinkles and using melted white chocolate adhere the marshmallow to Pirouette cookie. Adding a few white chocolate candle type drippings. They dried on a piece of wax paper.
Once the chocolate is dry they can be packaged into pretzel bags. The kids loved taking home a little reminder treat of St. Blaise.
This week we also started learning a little bit about Lent. Ash Wednesday is next week on February 10th. It is so early this year.
God Bless all of these darling first graders.
