Jesus Stops a Storm
Mark 4:35-41

Jesus and His followers got into a boat, and set out across the lake. Jesus was so tired that He fell asleep. Soon a strong wind began to blow. Waves came over the side of the boat. Everyone was very frightened. They woke Jesus. "Help us, or we'll drown!" Jesus commanded the wind and waves to be still. The wind stopped, and there were no more waves coming into the boat. The lake became calm.

Question:
When you are frightened, what do you do?

Key Point:
Remember, Jesus is always there with you. Just ask him to help you. He will.

God Is With Me-Finger Play

God is with me day and night. When it is dark (cover eyes with hands). When it is light (remove hands from eyes). He is always watching me (cup hands around eyes like a pair of binoculars). Wherever I am (turn around in a circle with arms stretched out), He can see (point to eyes) and God will take care of me (hug self).

A quick look at what happened in PDO on Tuesday.

The day began with boys and girls working puzzles.



Several students enjoyed playing with the circus train set.



It is fun to play with blocks.




Do a dot letter stamping.






The children colored a picture of Jesus calming the storm.





Students used the magnetic board to explore the letters of the alphabet. They used the flannel board to make a St. Patrick's design using shamrocks.


It's fun to ride on the rocking horse.


We painted a picture using yellow paint.


Working together.




We worked on our drawing skills.

Jesus board-Jesus Calms the Storm

This is a book that was read to the class at snack time. Bear awoke from his winter nap and began to eat. No matter how much he ate he always wanted MORE!



He eat so much and grew so FAT that he couldn't fit through the opening to his cave.


Quiet time with a book.

Crazy weather....now it's raining!

Friends at play in the Commons.



Matching like shamrocks.

Going fishing.


Exploring the "snow" in the table.







We are making lions. As the saying states, "March comes in like a lion".




We hope you liked seeing how we spent the day.
