Daily Devotion: Read Luke 22:7-8 both days and read a story about Passover. Talked about the true meaning of Easter and Jesus' death and resurrection. Attended Maundy Thursday church service and explained to the children why certain things are done like the stripping of the altar cloths and leaving the church in silence.
Health: On our last day we got out Sam and Terry, our health puppets, and talked about some of the highlights in health class during the year. Sang some of the songs out of our book.
Bible: Did some activity worksheets out of the Happy Times magazine and read a story.
Writing: Alphabet journal
Math: Did one more worksheet about reading a calendar and then moved on to telling time by making a clock out of paper and cardboard.
Geography: Learned some Australian expressions for a language activity and took a tour while learning some fascinating facts.
Spelling: Put the Easter words in alphabetical order and unscrambled them.
Reading: Faith really likes the Detective Dog chapter books and has read way ahead. She already started on the second book and is on chapter 3.
Science: Learned about the 4 parts of a flower. (I even learned something because I only knew one part of the flower; the petals) The kids asked, "You're the teacher, aren't you supposed to know everything?" and I explained that even teachers are always learning.
Seth helped Loren run some errands Wednesday night, so Faith, Anna and I took the opportunity to ride down to the river. Sometimes people ask why I would want to live in the same place my entire life. I can't really explain it, but watching Faith ride her bike and explore the same places I did as a child makes me feel very fulfilled and brings me great joy.
