Maundy Thursday

Chapel

We started our day with chapel. Everyone from 

preschool through eighth grade was there. 

Mr. Debrick gave us a special message on serving 

others. 

Then we processed to the commons where the 

early childhood children had a special service. 

We were not able to go to the play space and 

close the tomb (tunnel), so we had our service 

in the commons. We sang "Do you know who

died for me" and other songs. Each child then had

the chance to walk up to the rock and draw a cross.

Inside Movement

We had our movement breaks inside again today. 

We are ready for the rain to go away so we can be outside

and use our play space. But we love the scooters and Go 

Noodle dancing too. 

Center Time

During centers many of the children were using their 

imaginations to build a zoo and role playing all of the 

people in a house. They were working well together 

and building their friendships. We will miss being 

together over Spring Break!

Have a wonderful Easter and a fantastic Spring Break!

Happy Wednesday!

Jesus Time

We have been using eggs to tell the story of

Holy Week. Today we got to open the next 

egg. It had a cross on it. We are remembering the 

story of Good Friday. The children also acted

out the story. 

Reader's Theatre

This morning we made a trip down to Mrs. Tyler's 

class to watch the first graders perform The Giant Turnip 

and Little Red Riding Hood. 

Inside Play

We went to the commons again this morning

to run around and play on the scooters. We also

used our imaginations in the classroom for play time.

Some of our friends even painted the stone we will use

tomorrow to seal the tomb (the tunnel on our play space). 

Rain, Rain, Go Away! We want to go outside to play!

Small Groups

Mrs. Lohman's small group talked more about

spirals and screws. We cut our own out of paper plates. 

Some were long, some were short, but we all made one. 

In small group with Miss Stirtz, we watercolored

crosses. We first drew on them with a white crayon,

and then we painted to see if the white would show.

It did! We couldn't see it before, but now we could.

Movement

We spent our time moving in different ways today. 

We spent our first break in the commons running 

and getting out some energy.

Before lunch we took time to have a Go Noodle 

dance break. We were moving and grooving. 

Gloomy Monday

Morning Work

This morning children worked with pattern

blocks. They built towers out of the colored

blocks and measured how tall they were. 

Small Groups

In small group with Mrs. Lohman the children looked at screws

and all the different parts. They sorted them, lined them up by 

size, and even made the spirals like on the screw, out of wires.

In small group with Miss Stirtz, we continued to talk

about Palm Sunday. Today we painted our own palm

branches after we looked at and felt the real ones. 

Jesus Time

Today we talked about Good Friday. We read the 

story from the Beginner's Bible, and then Zippy came 

for a visit. We made a cross out of our names. It is

not a sad cross like the one that Jesus died on, but instead

a happy cross, becuase he loves us so much that he 

died to save all of us from our sins!

Center Colors

During center time today, many of the children

were using colors to brighten up this gloomy day.

We had colored patterns, cupcakes, glitter, jewels, and 

even colored legos made into stairs.
