Our KDI for this week is gross motor skills- children demonstrate strength, flexibility, balance and timing in using their large muscles. We'll enjoy moving big boxes, balancing boxes, knowing how to move ourselves around to prevent boxes from falling over!
Table Time- This week we will color inside and outside large boxes, make a box, play with boxes of all shapes and sizes, pound golf tees into boxes, decorate boxes, "Not a Box" coloring sheets, enjoy a nail and hair salon on the boxes, use our boxes inside and out!
Small Group Time- We will use our imagination to create with a box, make a gift to go inside a box, add Xx to our journal and complete a "Not a Box" activity.
Large Group Time- We will play with boxes!
Books of the Week- "What To Do With a Box" by Jane Yolen, "Not a Box" by Antoinette Portis, and "Boxitects" by Kim Smith are our books this week.
Bible Story- This week we hear about Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene. Mary was a follower of Jesus whom he had healed! Her life was completely changed through the love of her Lord and she followed him loyally! She had been at the cross, watching Jesus die and was with the other women who came to the tomb to better prepare Jesus' body.
As soon as the women came to the tomb that Sunday morning, they saw the stone rolled away. It seems that Mary ran back to tell the disciples that someone had stolen Jesus body right then. The other women looked closer and that is when the angel appeared and told them that Jesus was no longer dead. Mary didn't get to hear the good news, she was distraught.
When she returned from telling the disciples that Jesus body had been stolen, she looked in the tomb and saw two angels. It seems she was so sorrowful that she didn't recognize them as angels and when they asked her why she was crying, she said that her Lord's body had been taken and she didn't know where they had put it!
As she turned from the grave, she saw a man she thought was the gardener. He asked her why she was crying and who she was looking for. She begged him to tell her where they had put Jesus' body. Jesus said, "Mary."
Immediately Mary knew it was Jesus! She fell at his feet with happy tears now! She didn't yet touch his, but ran to tell the disciples that she had seen the Lord and he was alive!!
What Joy! Jesus is alive!!
