Bible story:

Luke 19:1-10

A Very Short Man

Everywhere Jesus went, there were crowds of people. In one crowd there was a very short man named Zacchaeus. He wanted to see Jesus, but he couldn't see over the crowd. So he climbed a tree. Jesus said, "Zacchaeus, come down so we can go to your house today," Zacchaeus hurried down and took Jesus to his home. Zacchaeus wanted to do good things. He told Jesus that he'd give half of the money he stole to the poor.

Marble painting fun.

Our Bible story board.

I used a BIG book to tell the Bible story of Zaccehues.

I read this book to the class.

This is a page from the book.

This is the other book that I read to the class.

and pages from it.

Our sensory table was filled with snow.

The children described the snow as: soft, white, cold, wet, slippery, and icy. We also learned that our warm hands melted the snow.

The students matched paint chips by color.


They matched gingerbread men by size: small medium and large.


Sequencing hearts: big-little-big.

The class attempted to name the shapes as they place them on the gingerbread man.

Other children were able to look at a small template of a decorated gingerbread man and match it to a larger one.


The friends enjoyed playing in hand lotion and applying it to their hands and cheeks.

It felt good on our dry skin.

The class used words to describe the lotion.
White, soft, puffy, creamy and light were the words most commomly used to tell about the experience.

I hope you enjoyed viewing the pictures.
