Welcome back from spring break! It seems like spring is taking a break itself, but hopefully it will be here soon!!
This week we are listening and looking for the letter Xx, like we hear at the end of box. We are playing with boxes this week!
Morning activities include free play with boxes, coloring inside and outside the box, making and decorating little boxes and cardboard stackers.
Small group activities are decorating a box and adding Xx is for box to our journal.
KDIs for the week are-
Pretend play: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through pretend play- What can you imagine your boxes to be?
Gross-motor skills: Children demonstrate strength, flexibility, balance, and timing in using their large muscles.-Big muscles and balance to stack boxes!
Cooperative play: Children engage in cooperative play. -We are working together to build and pretend.
Jesus Time- This week we hear about how Jesus appeared to the disciples on their way to Emmaus and in the locked room in Jerusalem. The women had seen angels in the tomb and told the disciples what they said- Jesus is Risen!! The disciples still doubted the women's words. Ten of the eleven were locked in a room, fearful of the Romans, despondent over the death of their teacher, hopeless. Two other followers of Jesus were walking to the town of Emmaus, about 7 miles away from Jerusalem. As they walked, they talked about the events of the past week, Jesus triumphal entry, his betrayal, his trial, crucifixion and death. A third man joined them and asked what they were talking about. They were amazed that he hadn't heard about the news in Jerusalem, so they filled him in. As they walked, he asked them questions about Jesus, leading them from Old Testament prophecy to prophecy, showing how Jesus was the fulfillment of the promised Messiah. They stopped to eat and invited him to sit with them. As he lifted the bread to bless it, their eyes were opened! THEY HAD BEEN TALKING TO JESUS THE WHOLE TIME! He disappeared from their sight and they ran back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples what they had seen. Jesus also appeared among the 10 in the locked room. He showed them his hands, feet and side and asked for something to eat to prove he wasn't a ghost. Thomas was missing. Jesus blessed and encouraged his disciples! There is so much more proof, but we believe without seeing. Jesus calls us blessed!!
