Have a BLESSED Easter!

 

Hi, 4^th grade families!  We have had a fun, short week! 

 *Next week is EASTER BREAK. We will have no school from March 27-April 1. Morning care, classes, and aftercare will resume April 2.

RELIGION- This has been such a beautiful week for us, as we have learned about the events of Holy Week.  We discussed Palm Sunday, Jesus in the temple, Maundy Thursday, the Lord’s Supper, the Garden Gethsemane, Peter Denying Jesus, and Jesus’ Crucifixion.  We read straight from God’s Word and also watched some wonderful reenacting of these verses.  The students colored a Holy Week timeline, which we will finish up on Tuesday.  Today, we discussed Good Friday, and while the conversations we had were emotional, we know that Jesus did not stay dead for us!  He has risen indeed!  Alleluia!

“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.” ~1 Peter 1:3

 The kiddos asked that I share these videos with you:
