Preparing for Easter

We Prepare

Our last week of school before Easter break was spent on a journey through Holy Week. It was a wonderful way to prepare ourselves for the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Each day we read pages for one of my favorite Lenten stories:  Benjamin's Box.  We created our own little "Way of the Cross" booklet and we had coloring pages for each day of Holy Week.  We also created some fun crafts to help us remember each special day.

Palm Sunday.

As always, the writing of the munchkins was just fantastic.  They do so well using sight words and phonemic spelling to create wonderfully fluent sentences all on their own.  Their usage of beginning uppercase letters and ending punctuation is great as well!


We couldn't let this last week of school get past us without some sort of recipe!

This one was quick, easy and to the point!

Not to mention...delicious!
Some of the munchkins had never tired a twinkie. 
Such a treat!




Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
