Reading with my friends....

Bella has been enjoying the block area this week!!

Today we drew pictures of our families

YUM!  Our Resurrection Rolls!!

Discovering what is (or isn't ) inside our rolls.....

This activity is just another way to reinforce Jesus is Risen!!!

We have talked many times about Jesus dying on the cross and that  his friends placed him
in a tomb and then when the women returned 3 days later they found an empty tomb.
So for resurrection rolls.... you take a crescent roll...which represents the tomb
then a marshmallow (which represents Jesus) and then lay the marshmallow (dipped in butter and then rolled in cinnamon) on the crescent roll. Next roll the crescent roll up(close the tomb) pinch ends together.
Bake and then open the roll up( break in the center)... center is hallow (marshmallow melts---we really didn't tell the kids it melted)
But it was so cool to see their faces when the crescent roll was empty like the tomb!!
Jesus is Risen!!!

Enjoying a little music time

Time flies and I think the children are really enjoying themselves this week!!   Lots of fun with the flower shop 
and digging in the sensory table.  As well as, going on a Jesus is Risen parade and making Resurrection rolls... we had a super busy day!!!
