I saw many of you at Easter for Kids and I hope that you and your child had a good time. We certainly enjoy doing children’s programs here at Apostles and we are happy that so many of you participate. Thank you for coming.
This week we will be reading the story Listen Buddy by Lynn Munsinger. Along with this story, we will be working with the letter V. This letter is sometimes confused with the letter F. I will be spending time with listening exercises to help the children with this. In math, we will be working with nickels and counting by fives. During our circle time, we will finish our unit on plants. We will also use some of the time to talk about Holy Week and what happened to Jesus during this week. Our Bible lessons will be “David and Goliath” and “David is Loved and Hated.” From these lessons, we will learn that by faith we trust God’s help and establish true friendships.
As I have said, it is Holy Week. On Friday, the children will be singing in a special service at 2:00 pm. Since we expect all of the children in the school to participate, we will provide childcare from 11:45 until 2:00 at no charge to you. If you should pick up your child at 11:45, please have him or her back here by 1:45. At that time, I will prepare the children for the service. We will sit as a class for this service. Once the service is over, you will be able to pick up your child at the classroom. Again we will walk quietly back to the classrooms, so please do not disturb the children during the recessional. You are welcome to come to this service. Since so many people attend this service, I would suggest that you come at least by 1:45 to get a seat. In addition, I would ask that you dress your child for a church service on that day. We will take it easy on the playground so don’t worry about them. Thank you.
On Tuesday, we will be finger painting. Please dress accordingly. I try very hard to keep everyone clean, but accidents do happen. I just want to warn you about what we will be doing.
After the service on Friday, we will be on Easter vacation until March 31. Please note that there will be no school or childcare during that time.
I hope and pray that all of you have a most blessed Easter. Enjoy the break.
