K1/K2 Weekly Activities: April 14-17
Happy Easter to all of our families! We hope that you all enjoyed celebrating Jesus’ Resurrection and the joy of the Easter Season with your children. Below are the weekly activities that you may wish to do with your child. They are as always optional and are meant to help encourage play-based learning in your homes. We continue to support any efforts that you can make, and understand that some of you, like us, are working from home and need to balance your time. Sending photos to us through email or on Twitter is just a means of remaining connected and are not used in any evaluative manner. So stay safe and have fun when you can!
(Please join us in prayer)
A Prayer for Easter
God made you and God made me,
He made the world for us to see.
God loves you and long ago,
He sent his Son to tell us so.
Jesus showed us many things,
To love and share and dance and sing.
To learn and pray, to help and care,
He promised he'd always be there.
He died but then came back to life,
Let's celebrate for he's alive!
Amen
