Transportation

This week we are looking at and exploring all the ways we get from here to there! By land, sea or air!

Table activities include cookie cutter painting with vehicle cookie cutters, playing with different vehicles, boat play and vehicle puzzles.

Small group activities include each child being given a vehicle puzzle to put together and take home and making a vehicle with shapes.

KDIs for the week are-

Classifying: Children classify materials, actions, people, and events.- How things travel- land, sea or air

Movement: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through movement. - Pretending to be in a car or a train or a plane- different movement for different transportation. 

Jesus Time- This week we hear about two disciples who left Jerusalem the Sunday after Jesus was crucified. They were very discouraged and were talking about all the events that transpired on Good Friday and the strange story they had heard that morning, Jesus was no longer in the tomb! What was going on!? Had someone stolen Jesus' body, was he really alive, like the women said the angel told them? They were so confused. They were walking to the town of Emmaus, a few miles outside of Jerusalem, when someone began to walk with them. He asked what they were talking about and they were surprised he hadn't heard! They told him all about Jesus, how they hoped he was the Messiah. He brought up Old Testament prophecies, showing how Jesus fulfilled each one. The disciples arrived at Emmaus and were entering an inn to have a meal. The man who had joined him seemed as if he were still walking on when they invited him to join them. As they sat down to the meal, the stranger as to bless the food. As he lifted the bread to break and bless it, their eyes were opened, and they realized they had been walking and talking with the risen Jesus!! He disappeared and they left their meal and sprinted all the way back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples they had seen Jesus! It was true! Jesus was alive!!
