We will have a short week this week to encourage families celebrate the coming of Easter. During the week, our students will hear about Jesus suffering and dying on the cross. Next week, we will celebrate that our Savior has risen from the dead! What a wonderful blessing to have a God who sent His son to forgive our sins.
Bible Time (One in Christ)
Our story this week is from Luke 23:26-56, reading this can show you God's great love for you. Because Jesus died and rose again, He has conquered sin and death. He gives His victory to us! He promises forgiveness and eternal life in heaven. Remember, this lesson is about good news! Jesus did not stay dead; He is alive--for us! Despite the cruel suffering that took place as Jesus was led to the cross, He did it out of love for each of us. Because of this, we get to see heaven one day.
Here are the discovery points for this week:
Law: Because we are sinners, we deserve to be punished.
Gospel: Jesus died on the cross to save us from the punishment of our sins.
Sanctification: Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can share with others the peace we have, knowing our sins are forgiven and our guilt is removed.
Song & Passage
Every week we focus on a new song and passage during bible time. This week, we will be singing Easter songs! Our main focus will be "He Rose, He Rose" with actions. Our passage this week is from 1 Thessalonians 4:14, "We believe that Jesus died and rose again." I encourage you to read through the story and passage with your child. It is a great way for them to hear our bible story from you and review the song and passage with you too!
Small Group (HighScope)
Our KDI (Key Developmental Indicator) for this week is: Patterns
Monday- Students will be using counting bears to create patterns. I will have pattern cards that the students can follow. If students are up for a challenge, they can create a pattern on their own without the cards.
Tuesday- They will create a thumb print pattern using stamp pads. They will be able to create their own AB pattern or ABBA pattern.
Wednesday- We will be using legos to create a tower pattern. The students will be working on this without pattern cards.
Thursday- We will be skipping our regular small group plans to create an art project for the windows to celebrate Easter.
Friday- No School
Movement (Spark)
Our students will be reviewing their tossing this week. They will be doing underhand tossing with beanbags and small balls. We will work on getting them to toss with a partner. We will be letting students choose what they would like to use when they toss: a beanbag or a ball.
If they want a challenge, Students will back up further and further from their partner while continuing to toss underhand.
Music (Sing and Make Music)
They will continue working with sing along stories. They will look at "There's a Hole in My Bucket" and "Baa Baa Black Sheep"... if there is more time and the students seem as interested in sing along books as they were last week, we will add in "Old MacDonald Had a Farm"
Sensory Table
Our students will be able to explore in dirt using various tools, jars, flowers and more! The students loved it so much last week we decided to do it for another round.
Art
This week our students will be able to create a window creation for Easter. We will work on making "stain glass" crosses using contact paper, tissue squares and markers! They will be able to design their own crosses to be hung up on display.
If we have time this week, our students will be able to create ice cream in a bag. If we do not have time, we will try to do this science experiment next week! With all the sunshine, we thought they might enjoy having a special treat.
