Our History Sentence for this week is:  "In 1517, Martin Luther began the Protestant Reformation by printing the 75 Theses that made Pope Leo lll excommunicate him. Later John Calvin joined the Reformation."

I found some  ideas and FREE printables at  Church House Rock

Here's how we celebrated with our small group of 6 families (27 children!) We decided to remain in our classes (which are divided by families instead of grade levels) and rotated to three activity stations.

The first activity was to make a "Luther Rose" suncatcher:
From here, we moved to the back of the room to the "puppet theater" and the children acted out a skit using puppet symbols to represent the meaning of the colors of the Luther Rose, while a narrator read over the meaning of each and led the audience through an interactive praise hymn. (sorry, no picture)

Next we trekked across the parking lot to tape up our "statements."
The Harpers
The McGlynns
The Coopers

Sorry, I didn't find a camera until half of our families had left, but we ALL had a great time with this!
