School Choir The Catholic Social Teaching highlighted in this chapter is Respect for all Life , formally known as Life and Dignity of the Human Person . To reinforce Catholic identity and present opportunities for evangelization invite the students to turn to page 74 and complete the Faith in Action lesson as a way of putting into practice the principles of Catholic Social Teaching .
Special needs
Use a wide variety of pictures of families celebrating special days in order to help the children identify what they are thankful for .
The role-playing activity suggested in this chapter is a wonderful opportunity to include those children who have difficulty speaking .
The use of rhythm instruments may cause distress to those with auditory sensitivities . Try using them , but have other options ( such as waving pennants or ribbons attached to a straw or a stick ) in mind .
