As Easter approaches, we have been talking about Lent and Easter. Our journey started by receiving ashes on Ash Wednesday. Throughout the past few weeks, we have colored each of the Stations of the Cross. The Stations of the Cross help us remember what happened to Jesus right before he died. This week we read several stories about the First Easter and created a flip book about the events of Holy Week. We also decorated Easter eggs. We found out that the Easter eggs looked just like the rock that was in front of Jesus’s tomb. It is also a symbol of new life. After coloring and dying our eggs, we ate them for a snack. We also applied to be the Easter Bunny’s assistant after reading the book, The Easter Bunny’s Assistant. We had to write about why we would be a good assistant. Finally we created a yellow chick Easter basket. On Thursday, we were surprised to find our Easter baskets filled with treats!
