a few easter snapshots :)

A very belated fu huo jie kuai le to you, friends! (chinese for "happy resurrection day!").

I'm incredibly thankful to work at a school in which our administrators not only allow, but encourage, us to share with our students the story of Easter!

The week of Easter, Jennifer and I had the opportunity to fully embrace Easter with our kiddos. We made bunny hats, did jellybean math activities, dyed easter eggs, completed an easter egg hunt, and even made "Resurrection rolls." But the best part was sharing resurrection story with them! We used a variety of activities to share the story of His death and resurrection, but their favorite by far was the "resurrection eggs." We put little symbols in empty plastic eggs to help us tell the story, and the kiddos absolutely loved it. They were so eager to open each egg to reveal the next part of the easter story (a little too eager sometimes, haha). It was a blast.

Here's a few of my favorite snapshots of our week:

our silly bunny hats. :)

And this, by far is my favorite. One afternoon, after coming back into my classroom, I found these two girlies rewriting an activity on the board during their Center Time. Nothing like practicing sight words and the resurrection story at the same time. :) 

a snapshot from my fellowship in the city....we put together a last minute puppet skit for the kiddos. It turned out pretty hilarious, haha. We weren't exactly the best puppeteers.
