As we prepare for the Holy season of Lent, we worked in groups to make colorful Allelulia posters that we "put away" this afternoon. We will not sing or say this joyful word during Lent. We look forward to Easter when we celebrate and sing Allelulia! Until then, we will focus on living a good Lent, walking with Jesus and growing closer to God.
The children are learning many things about fabric in science. In addition to observing many different types of fabric, the children learned about woof & warp threads, where fabric comes from, and how to weave. Below you will find photos of the children dissecting burlap, cutting different types of fabric for a collage and weaving with yarn. This Week's Super Star: Due to another snow day last Friday, this super star had to wait patiently until Monday to wrap up her special week to shine & get her photo taken. Mystery Box: The children are getting turns taking home the mystery box. So far the clues have been great! We can not wait to see who will stump us with their clues. Our week was short and went so fast! We were so busy, I did not get a chance to take any fun photos.
