Advent Activity Downloads Available Again!

11/28/2022

0 Comments

 

They're back!

It has been so long since we last posted or shared anything. But, we're happy to announce that we have just made our downloadable Advent Activities available once again.

These sweet activities are a fun and educational means to keep our children focused on preparing their hearts for the Christ Child.

There are five different levels: pictures, words, catechism questions (easier/more difficult), and Bible Quotes, and three different options for each level.

Plus, there are three Combos that contain one of each level.

Each activity comes with an instruction sheet that contains the Christmas Novena Prayer, lyrics to an Advent hymn, and a little thought or assignment for each day. For example: "St. John the Baptist said to make straight the way of the Lord. Today put things in their place in your room and in the kitchen. Repeat to yourself St. John's words: 'Prepare ye the way of the Lord.'"
​
We pray that these little activities help draw your children's hearts closer and closer the Christ Child.

Level C update

Picture
 I wish we were telling you that we were about to release our next level of Lighted Lanterns, but I'm afraid that is not the case.  We were hoping to release Level C this summer, but at this point, it looks like we need to give ourselves some more time.  New babies and new homes are taking precedent! 
 Level C should be out late 2014 or early 2015. 
 We will keep you posted!

Only 1 more day left for our pre-order special of the Level B hard-copy books!

And one more thing -- we wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are both expecting to have our babies within a month's time, so, shipping times may not be as speedy once we are very busy giving attention to the new additions to our families. Thank you for understanding and God Bless!

New! Lighted Lanterns Pre-Level!

4/29/2013

Lighted Lanterns Pre-Level
is a stepping stone to the process
of copywork, dictation, and narration.


With this level, we assume the student has some familiarity with beginning reading and writing.  This is not intended to be a course to learn how to form letters (*although it could be used that way*)
but a review and expansion of letters learned. 


*We at Cascia Books encourage you to tailor your curriculum to fit you and your students as much as you need to for maximum benefit!


Short writing assignments, poems, rhymes, riddles, jokes, short stories and lines for narrations round out the program and help prepare the student for Lighted Lanterns Level A. 


Pre-Level consists of 26 lessons, one lesson for each letter of the alphabet, and extra writing practice pages in the back of the book. 

Click on the image to learn more!

The download version* is available right now for $27.99. The spiral-bound version* is available for pre-order for a very limited time for $24.99. Retail is $29.99.

*Manuscript version only

Cursive edition to be available soon.

Lighted Lanterns Companion ~ Level A Reader

4/23/2013

    It is amazing how a project grows and evolves.  A reader was not on the radar when Lighted Lanterns originated.  It wasn’t until we were using Level A with our own children that we decided a companion reader would be quite handy. 

      Some of the stories used for copywork were too long to reprint in such a project.  In those cases, we used shorter stories on the same topic.  Add a few more stories and poems and a reader is born. 

     At this point, the reader is only available in a pdf download format.  We plan on printing hard copies in the future.  Exactly when will in part be determined by how much interest there is in a hard copy vs. the download, so please let us know if you would rather purchase a hard copy!
   
     For more info, visit the Lighted Lanterns Level A page on the website, the reader is at the bottom of the page.  

Thanks for visiting!

Updated Catholic Planner and new free printables

3/9/2013

Updated Catholic Planner now available for Pre-Order!

Picture
We were unsure whether to reprint any more of the Complete Catholic Planner or not, and decided at last to go ahead and revamp it! 

We think you will love the new look and layout!

There are now nine sections as opposed to the original five. We have divided up the planner into 5 student sections, 1 family section, a "For the Love of God" section, a Monthly Planning Section as well as 48 weeks of Daily Lesson Planning pages. 
The student sections now have all the pages needed to plan their year from beginning to end all together in their own section - including preparing for the next year!
There are lovely black and white graphics gracing the pages throughout, plus some new forms to make it one of the most versatile planners out there!



Click here to read more about the planner and view some sample pages!


Pre-Order now for $24.95 for a limited time only. Regular price - $29.99


We hope to be shipping by the beginning of April.





We now have some new free printables up!

Picture
In our Lent section of Free Printables we have redone the Lenten Program and added another Lenten Sacrifice chart. A little late, but perhaps something to remember for next year.


Picture
We have added a new printable section entitled 'Purity'. There are certificates for both young men and young ladies who want to remain pure for Our Lord.

Coming Soon to Cascia Books! 
We are very happy to announce that one of our daughter's is putting together a beautiful newsletter dedicated to the virtues for your family to enjoy and use as a unit study or as a way to learn more about individual virtues and put them into practice. Hopefully there will be a new one each month, but there is no guarantee as she is a full-time student and a busy young lady. 


We wish you all a blessed Lenten season!

"If we wish to see any improvement in the state community or the family, the family must, in common with the Church, educate the children in Christianity. It is true that the hope of a better future is founded on a good, obedient youth." ~ St. John Vianney
