CHRIST IS RISEN!

HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA!

A Big Surprise-Matt. 28:1-10 and Luke 24:9-12

Very early on Sunday morning, the first day of the week, the women went back to the tomb. It was the third day since Jesus died. When the women got there, they couldn't believe their eyes. The stone was rolled away! An angel of the Lord was sitting on the stone. The soldiers were frightened. The angel said, "Don't be afraid. Jesus is alive." The women were happy! They ran to find other friends of Jesus. They told everyone that Jesus was alive! He had risen from death.

What we are learning:

Jesus had died on the cross and was buried in a tomb.

That Sunday some women came to visit His tomb.

The tomb was empty!

An angel said that Jesus was alive!

Mary Magdalene saw Jesus alive!

Jesus is alive!

Songs:

This Is The Day

This is the day (This is the day)

That the LORD hath made (That the LORD hath made.)

I will rejoice (I will rejoice)

And be glad in it (and be glad in it)

This is the day that the LORD hath made

I will rejoice and be glad in it!

This is the day,

This is the day, that the LORD hath made

Do You Know Who Died For ME

Do you know who rose for me Jesus did, Jesus did

Lovingly He rose for me

Yes He really did

Oh You Can't Keep Jesus Love in a Box

Oh you can't keep Jesus shut in the grave, shut in the grave, shut in the grave

Oh you can't keep Jesus shut in the grave, cuz His love will come a bubbling through

ALLELU

Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia
Praise ye the Lord.
Allelu, allelu, allelu, alleluia
Praise ye the Lord.
Praise ye the Lord, alleluia
Praise ye the Lord, alleluia
Praise ye the Lord, alleluia
Praise ye the Lord.

Our first day back to school, after Easter break!

Playing outside was a great way to start the day.

The children enjoyed riding in the cars, playing in the rock pit,"mowing" grass and building a castle with large legos.

We used instruments to help us give praise, honor and glory to God. The girls and boys were able to recall and supply many details of Holy Week, as together, we retold the story of Christ's journey to the cross. We shouted Alleluias when we discovered Jesus had risen from the tomb; defeating sin, death and the devil, so that we may have eternal life in heaven with Him.

The color for the month of April is purple. The boys and girls loved using the new purple play doh. They also had several seasonal cookie cutters to use such as ovals, crosses, umbrellas and rabbits just to name a few.

The children were eager to match egg halves according to color. Then it was fun to put different colors together.

The class used colored dot stickers; placing them on letter Oo and Pp. O=owl and P=paint/paint brushes.

Pulling of the circular stickers, helped to strengthen our fine motor skills.

Mrs. Burke helped the class lace Easter eggs. They also paired eggs according to the design on each egg.

Playing with our friends is always fun.

The sensory table was exciting. There were egg halves to put together, chenille chicks to find hiding in the colored grass, magnifying glasses for an up close look at the grass, eggs and chicks, as well as tweezers used to pick up the chicks and place them inside the eggs.

We built structures out of Lincoln Logs.

See how creative we were.

We used markers to color a picture of what the first Easter morning might have looked like. We know that Jesus died and rose for US!

New puzzles, yeah!

We made a pattern using yellow and green ovals/eggs.

We took turns finding crosses in the bag. As the children pulled out the crosses, they named the color of the cross and stated whether it was big/large or little/small.
