Holy Week Activities

Holy Week is a time to remember the last few days of the life of Jesus.  We remember the last meal Jesus had with his disciples, Jesus then dying on the cross, and celebrating him rising from the dead.  We spent the week doing some fun Easter activities. 

The whole school worked together to clean the church.  It is great to see the students work together to get something completed.   

 

We made Easter baskets to deliver to the residents at Good Samaritan Center. 

 

 

The students listened to the story of Jesus when he was carrying the cross, being crucified, and then laid in the tomb.  The project that went along with the story was taking a crescent roll, a big marshmallow rolled in melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon.  The crescent roll is the tomb, the marshmallow is Jesus, and the butter and cinnamon represent the oil and spices they laid Jesus in the tomb with.  Then we had to roll up the roll and pinch it tight so we couldn’t see the marshmallow.  While they were baking the students dyed eggs.  After baking the roll the marshmallow had disappeared.  That shows that Jesus had risen from the dead and was no longer in the tomb.  The students also enjoyed dirt cups as a snack.  Hope everyone had a great Easter.
