        For the Classroom - Besides making crosses with their good deeds recorded each day, there is an idea about making new life crosses . . . how good deeds can bring new life to those who do them and to those who receive them and to the environment in which they are practiced.  The "how to" is on p. 46 of this same issue of Catechist Magazine mentioned above.
