Spring is in the air!  I do hope you had a wonderful Spring Break (even with the rain).  I look forward to hearing what everyone did for fun!  We are beginning our Easter celebration and will be discussing Passover this week.  The bible story is The Ten Plagues which talks about how God had Moses go to the pharaoh to let the Israelites go.  When the pharaoh would not listen, God sent a new plague onto Egypt.  This happened 10 times until finally the pharaoh told the Israelites to leave.  To go along with this theme, we will be making frogs (like one of the plagues) during art.  The kids will be using paper plates, cotton balls, other supplies to make them.  We will also be working on tracing our names. 

We will also be sending home plastic eggs for you to fill with goodies.  These will need to be brought back the following week so we can do an easter egg hunt with your children.  The filling does not need to be candy, just anything that can fit in the eggs and is safe.

This week we will be talking about land and the animals who live on it.  The bible story is The Burning Bush.  This passage talks about Moses escaping the pharaoh and becoming a shepherd.  God appeared to him in a burning bush and told him to save the Israelites and take them to a new land called Canaan.  God planned on using signs to show the pharaoh He had given the message to let His people go. 

During centers we will be making shamrocks to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.  This will include the use of a bell pepper and some green paint.  An easy and fun activity for the kids.  We will also be practicing cutting and writing our names. 
During art, we will be making caterpillars, in preparation for our caterpillars to arrive at the school.  This project will include using egg cartons, paint and a lot of imagination!

The unit this week is Light (Day and Night).  The bible story that works with this unit is Genesis 1: The Beginning.  This lesson discusses how the world and everything in it was created by God.  Starting this week the students are focusing on identifying and spelling their names.  We will be making a Chicka, Chicka, Boom, Boom tree with their name.  I look forward to working with each child on learning to spell their names and will have some fun activities planned.  This will be something we will continue to work on the rest of the school year.  We will also be working on perfecting our cutting skills.  Our new scissors will help teach them the proper technique by springing back open.  Can't wait to try them out!!
