Making Space

Last week, Miss Elsa's class focused on "Making Space" as a way of understanding Lent as a period of growth, change, and preparation for Easter. As an activity, students worked with clay to create Lenten Prayer Pots for placing notes or items that will remind them of things they want to make space for in their lives.

The older students learned about the daily Examen—a prayerful way to review the day to recognize God's presence and movement in our everyday lives.  After the discussion, they crafted clay prayer pots, which they filled with glass stones representing different aspects of the Examen to aid in their daily reflection.
