How are we going to cover the curriculum??

Ugh, I just realized that since we had class cancelled last week due the first heavy snowfall, we will only have one real class before the end of the year!!  My DRE just informed me that half of our first class in December will be devoted to St. Nicholas (watching a movie), I kindly asked her to excuse our Second Grade Sacramental Class from the movie.  I will have my students put their shoes outside the classroom door but we need to start covering the material in our St. Joseph First Communion Catechism books (I love those books simple, beautiful, and sound Catholic teaching).  I was so hoping to teach sin and the types of sin before Christmas.  What about those Breaking Bread books I snagged from the recycle bin, oh and the liturgical year starting, and don't forget Advent!!  So much and so little time.  My DRE then informed me the second class in December will be devoted to the practice for the simple Christmas show, then the third class is just a movie night since so many students are traveling for Christmas.  Oh my word don't volunteer catechist have any say in when and what is being taught in Religious Education programs?  I have decided instead of complaining I need to get PRAYING for the Holy Spirit to rain down upon me and my class and help me efficiently plan the rest of the year with my little students.  We have all these hopes to make a memorable life changing happy memory for our students as they prepare for their First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion but this is a very big task that we can not do on our own or with the help of a DRE it has to come from God.
