Easter Celebration Thursday!

Our final lesson on the resurrection will be this Thursday, culminating in an Easter celebration in which the kids will be asked to get up and present at least one part of the Easter story to the class! I was so proud of them today... they have come so far from the start of the year! They could tell me the name of the city Jesus rode into on the donkey, who betrayed him to the court, who gave the order to put him on the cross... it was pretty amazing! In addition to our Easter celebration, we will be finishing our 'Road to Easter' bulletin board as well, so be sure to check it out when you stop by!

P.S.
We planted several seeds in root viewers last week, and are tracking their progress! Today was the first day we were actually able to see the roots! It was pretty exciting around here!!!!!

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered to help with the portable garden! We will be planting the Thursday after Spring Break, so be sure to send the kids in clothes that can get dirty!

Some of Our March Needs...

We will be starting preparations for the 'Pre-K3 Portable Garden' within the next two weeks! Here are some of the items we are going to need! If you have any of these, and are willing to let us use them, please let me know! Thanks so much!

-Seeds (fast germinating seeds would be best, for example: sunflowers, cucumbers, pumpkin, watermelon, squash, etc.)
- 2 - 3 Medium-sized bags of potting soil - enough to fill a small wagon or child-sized wheel barrow.
- 1 or 2 watering cans
- 1 small wagon or child-sized wheel barrow.
- Bulbs (any kind will work)
- 10 Clear plastic Cups

It's March!!

This month our major focus will be on Easter and the Resurrection Story! Central Christian sticks to a school-wide policy of focusing strictly on the religious aspects of the holiday, so we will not be addressing anything else at school. In addition to Easter, we are going to be starting a unit on plants. This will culminate in the planting of our ‘portable classroom garden’ at the end of the month!

March will also be the start of our ’Final Reviews’. I will be testing each child individually to see what areas we need to re-address as a class. We will be spending focused review time on those specific areas! As always, if you have any questions, thoughts or concerns, PLEASE feel free to call me! Thank you for sharing your precious children!
