Jesus Prays for Help
Matt. 26:36, Mark 14:32, Luke 22:39

After dinner Jesus and his followers went to a quiet garden. Jesus prayed for strength. He took Peter, James, and John with him. They were three of his closest friends. Jesus asked them to pray. He went further into the garden to pray by himself. It was late and the three men were tired. They fell asleep. Jesus woke them twice, but they went back to sleep each time.

The lesson focused on these points.
1. Jesus prayed and God listened.  
2. We should pray, and God will listen to us. 
3. He always answers our prayers with yes, no, or sometime we need to wait until we receive an answer to our prayer.


Song:
Jesus Taught Us How to Pray
To the tune of "Jesus Loves Me.
 
Jesus taught us how to pray,
to God our Father everyday;
Morning, noon, and night-time, too,
we can pray and so can you.
Yes, we can pray!  Yes, we can pray!
Yes, we can pray; to God through-out the day.

Today's activities:
Toys
Books
Play doh
Bible sheet-coloring sleeping disciples
Sensory Table-using hole punchers
Tracing a rectangle
Finding objects hidden within a picture
Easter number coloring book
Tape resistant cross art



Friday pictures.
Play doh-creativity in the making


The disciples slept while Jesus prayed in the garden.

We added sleeping eyes to the disciples then completed the sheet using crayons.


Let's play with the toys.



Tape resistant art-3 crosses.

We placed masking tape on brown contruction paper. Three crosses were made.


Then we used a large brush to apply blue paint on the brown construction paper.

We painted the top half blue, covering the tape.




When the paint is dry, it will be removed and brown crosses will be revealed. The art work will be displayed Tuesday in our hallway.

Books that were read to the class.



Thank you God for our Moms.

With our friends, we enjoyed looking at new books.


Recess in the Commons.




Last day for the sensory table.


We are making an Easter number book.

We looked through magazines to find things that are yellow. We cut them out and glued the pictures on a small piece of paper.




 That concludes the week. Blessing on the weekend and Palm sunday worship.

I hope these pictures provide you with some knowledge of your child's day.
Jesus taught us how to pray. We used crayons to color a Bible story handout of a boy and girl praying.

We made animals, numbers and letters with the yellow play doh and cutters.

We matched paint cans and brushes by color. We are very good, when it comes to matching by color.



We found hidden letters and objects on the posters.

Nice work.



Time to learn about our Bible story, Jesus praying in the garden of Gesamanee.

These books were read to the students today.

We ran and played with friends in the Commons.


I was absent today, but it looks like Mr. M is having a wonderful conversation with some PDO children.

They seem to be very interested in technology... perhaps future STEM students.






We used hole punchers to punch holes in construction paper. This activity is designed to strengthen hand muscles.


It looks as if everyone was busy today.
