Co-op this week started out with an Easter Party! We celebrated and remembered what Jesus did for us on the cross. He bore the full wrath of God on our behalf, died, and then rose victorious three days later, conquering sin and death. Hallelujah! Mrs. Canode read the story, "The Tale of the Three Trees", a story about three trees whose dreams all end up coming true in unexpected ways as one tree becomes Jesus' manger, one become his boat, and one becomes the cross on which Jesus died. Afterwards, we made bookmarks with the jellybean poem attached and then enjoyed some Easter treats. In our classes, both the Upper and Lower Grammar classes learned firsthand just how amazing Roman architecture and design really was. They combined forces to construct and design aqueduct systems out of cereal boxes and paper towel rolls. The Five in a Row class read "Play with Me." It's the story of a little girl who goes into the meadow to play with the animals, but they all run away from her. Until she sits quietly by the pond and the animals slowly begin to approach her. The kids all discussed whether they would like to pet animals such as chipmunks, frogs, snakes and bugs. They also made cute little bug boxes.
