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 (pray) Him for help. Nothing is too difficult for Jesus.

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).

Monday was a great day to be in PDO!

These books were read to the class today.

Puzzles are fun to work.


Playing with friends is awesome.

We took turns using the white board.


We enjoyed playing with the circus train.


We stamped yellow rectangles.

They are displayed on the large bulletin board in the classroom.


We used yellow paint to create a picture of our choosing.






The students placed letters of the alphabet on the magnetic board.

Many students could name several letters.



Do a dot letters A-C. 

This was a good review for the class.





The children used crayons to color a picture of the Bible story.



Jesus Calms the Storm

Recess indoors.




We matched shamrocks by design .



March came in like a lion. That's for sure. These paper plates will become lions over the next few days.




We pretended to be fishermen. We caught fish. It was hard work.







Snow in the sensory table. It's a mixture of hair conditioner and baking soda. It is light, fluffy and cold like snow.

The children enjoyed playing with it. We used our 5 senses to describe how it looked, felt and smelled.




These book were read to the girls and boys today.




This is a picture of an online video, numbers 1-10, that we watched today.
We enjoyed our time together.
