It was a big week for Noah at school. On Tuesday I was invited to come into his class to teach about resurrection. We had a great time reading the Holy Week Story. Then we made Resurrection Rolls. The kids picked up a marshmallow (Jesus) and dipped it in butter, cinnamon, and sugar (for the spices and oils used in the bible) and then they wrapped him up in a crescent roll (tomb). We took the rolls and put them in the oven for 10 minutes. When the kids opened their rolls the marshmallow had disappeared just like Jesus was not in the tomb. I LOVE seeing the kids faces when the marshmallow isn't there! It was a real joy sharing this time with them.
On Wednesday they had their regular party. The kids got to find eggs that were hidden all over the sanctuary (which was a bit of a mental block for me). It is a marvelous trick they use to give each child an egg carton. When their egg carton is full they are done. So perfect!
Then the kids did a really neat snack where they filled a cupcake wrapper with trail mix of pretzels, chocolate chips and chex, then they put some jelly beans on top for eggs, and peeps on top for birds. It was a nest snack! So Cute!!!
They read a story, sang some songs and then they did spoon egg races. Noah had a wonderful time!
