Easter: story

Today we began our Easter unit by viewing a portion of The Miracle Maker. Our new memory verse is Matthew 28:6... He isn't here! He is risen from the dead, just as He said would happen.

(The Miracle Maker is a DVD about the ministry of Jesus. We viewed from the Last Supper on. This is a well done claymation that I've found appeals to older kids. As always, please preview for your own students.)

Mission:Possible: review

Besides reviewing the obedience of Joshua and Caleb, we played some games from past weeks!

Mission:Possible: activity

Today we discussed the plenty of the promised land...a land flowing with milk and honey! To help us remember this we made ice cream in a bag! There were many cold hands but most of the kids liked the finished ice cream.

(There are many ice cream in a bag recipes online. The basics: quart size zippy bag with ice cream mixture placed inside a gallon size zippy bag of salt and ice...shake until thick...eat! The mixture is 1/2 cup whole milk [or half and half or mix of the two], 1 T sugar and 1/2 tsp vanilla.)
