When I was preparing to start back to work at Head Start, I created this awesome $3 ABC plaque for my wall. I loved it so much that when I saw these Catholic ABC's, I wanted to create a Catholic set. I didn't know what I was going to do with them and I quickly set the idea on the backburner. Well, I was perusing the church bulletin last week and noticed an ad looking for REP teachers. I have been feeling like God has been calling me to teach religion for a while but I never felt "ready" until now. I called and I am now officially a fourth grade REP teacher! Even though my children will be well past learning thier ABC's, I think it would make a cute decoration for my classroom. I used the same technique as with the "regular" ABC plaques with the exception of the following: I used the Catholic A-Z posters from "That Resource Site". I printed them as 3x5 sheets of photo paper and then cut them out, leaving the bottom part off. I used some plaques that were on my wall in the kitchen before I created my plates (I haen't posted them yet!) I also found them in the Dollar Tree. Here are the results- My Catholic Alphabet Craft: Thanks for stopping by! Alicia Tweet I am linking up to CatholicIcing's First Friday Link Up!
