I am so sorry there was no post on Wednesday - I didn't realize until I got home that I had forgotten my laptop at school. So, this post will cover some of the activities we did on Wednesday as well as what we did today!
We started our day discussing Easter. We got a new cross for our religion table and we talked about why during Lent the cross is covered with burlap. I read them the story "The Tale of Three Trees". It is a very moving Easter story and describes how each tree inadvertently serves Jesus. The first tree becomes his cradle (it was a trough to feed animals), the second tree becomes a fishing boat (carrying Jesus and His disciples through a storm) and the third tree becomes His cross.
