Holy Week Celebrations

Posted in Homeschooling

I know I am a bit late here, but as I was plodding through emails, I found this link from The Urban Homemaker (Marilyn Moll).  It comes from The Teaching Home

 5 Day Easter Unit Study

Since I am late in finding this, we won't be attempting to do all the activities mentioned, but many of them are well worth the time.  I must say this is the best Holy Week unit study I've seen this year!

One thing we did today that the children loved was acting out a passage of Scripture.  I have been reading through John and thought it would be fun to do the section in John 10 about Jesus as the Good Shepherd.  This was a subject that all the children could understand and participate in.

Blake was the Good Shepherd and the wolf, Megan was the "hireling" and the "other sheep", Melia and Keian (the toddlers) were the sheep, mama is the narrator.  We are working on it to present at a celebration we will be attending on Sunday with several other families we are in Boy Scouts with.

Speaking of that Resurrection Sunday celebration...this is the first time we have not spent Easter with family.  I was skeptical at first about doing this, but as it pans out we will be celebrating with family over the weekend and then coming back home for church and this particular celebration on Sunday.  I think it will be a wonderful time of fellowship, something my family has felt lacking for quite some time.

Have a Blessed Holy Week!
