Glimpse Into Our School Activities (March/April)

Big Brother had his first Art Show along with some of his friends. It was fun to have so many people come and see the art the kids had been working on throughout the school year. These pictures are of Big Brother's art display area.


As part of our Easter curriculum, we focused on the plagues of Egypt talked about in Exodus. Each day we sat out a reminder for us of these plagues. The picture above is the Day of the Locusts. We each had a plastic grasshopper on our plate of food to remind us of this plague.

This was our second year of putting together an Egg pinata for our family gathering. Our Easter pictures will have the final pinata that was created. We always have a lot of fun with this as it is very messy to make.


We also did some learning activities with Jelly Beans for Easter.
The kids enjoyed eating them as they worked on their worksheets.

One project for school this past month was putting together a model
of the tabernacle. It really showed us the details that Moses had to follow from God's
instructions of putting the tabernacle together.


Science Experiment's with Grandpa: This is small piece of Ivory Soap

This is an expanded piece of Ivory soap after being placed in the microwave for just 30 seconds.

This was one of our empty tomb crafts during our time of Easter focus.
We planted grass seed all throughout the dirt.

We also had some fun naturally dyeing eggs - the above picture was using
red cabbage and the below picture is from red onion leaves. So neat to see
what colors would be created.
