_Hi All, [This is a re-post, as promised today on the Sonrise Morning Show with Brian Patrick. Enjoy!]
I wanted to share this Examination of Conscience for children. I got it from a colleague, educator and popular speaker, Barbara Falk, who teaches in a wonderful religious ed program in Manhattan called The Narnia Clubs. There are many of these available online, but I thought this one was particularly good for use with young children. God bless you!

THE ACT OF CONTRITION
Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you.  I detest all my sins
because of Your just punishments, but most of all because they offend you, my God,
who are all good and deserving of all my love.  I firmly resolve with the help of your grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance , and to amend my life.  Amen.

I am a coordinator of Grades 1 and 2 and heard to you on Sonrise Morning Show.
I have tried to print the Examination of
Conscience but only page one is printed. Please advise how I can print the rest of the commandments? I would like to share this with my Grade 2 Catechists who are preparing our students for First Penance.
Thank you, May God Bless you abundantly.

I have been wanting to relate the 10 commandmants to reconcilation but wasn't sure I would get them correct, or leave anything out, so how great it was when listening to EWTN this morning and this topic was being talked about. Not only can I use this in K-5 religion classes but also to the Boy Scouts when I teach "Ad Altare Dei" . There is an exercise in relating the 10 commandments to the 12 words of the Scout Law. You have made my day finding this God Mine (gold mine). I do believe this was divine providence.Thank you God:) Thank you for making it happen and sharing your instructions. So well worth it.

Critical consciousness focuses on achieving an in-depth understanding of the world, allowing for the perception and exposure of social and political contradictions. Critical consciousness also includes taking action against the oppressive elements in one's life that are illuminated by that understanding. Thanks.

All children go through stages of social development. An infant or very young child will play alone happily. If another child wanders onto the scene, he/she may be physically attacked or pushed out of the way. Next, the child can play with another child, gradually learning to share and take turns. Thanks.

It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

For those who are into home business would love your ideas. Just because it is a home office does not mean that you do not need to put an effort into improving its look. A well designed office could add a lot to your work experience. I run a small business; however I will soon be moving my office to San Francisco.
