We started in the Old Testament because He is the fulfillment of it, after all. And it was important to know about what Passover was and why it was celebrated. We've been going through the Bible chronologically so far and are in the prophets, so the Exodus after the last plague was a review for them. I then went to the triumphal entry of Christ to the Passover/ Last Supper, the garden of Gethsemane, Pilate, crucifixion, the empty tomb. I hit the big stuff.
We took a break from our usual Abeka to do some Easter focused work. We did pattern matches, word searches, find the vowel, complete the word, Scripture transcribing, and color sheets. Tony loved having his own work to do instead of just playing all day. I may have to make small unit studies for him.
What I liked about the printables I found were that there were different levels of difficulty. Tony could have just a color sheet where Auds' would have Scripture for her to copy.
We're spending Good Friday preparing a joint youth service with a neighboring youth group and a big service on Sunday. I've got all the ingredients to make resurrection cookies tomorrow night, and will be packing baskets as they sleep.
Sunday will be packed getting ready for service and attending church. I'll be photographing the service, so it'll be busy for me. The annual church egg hunt happens after and then we'll come home for our own egg hunt, basket goodies, and lunch.
Monday starts a busy week of editing school spring pictures, cap and gown pictures, a maternity session, and going to the governor's mansion for a special presentation I was invited to about helping fight sex trafficking in America and reaching out to these poor little girls. Makes me cry to even consider something like that happening to my angel.
Anyway, happy thoughts. I finally got pictures of all the kids to hang in the house. I've never done that before because I'm so busy with work, but I made a special effort this year. It's a miracle. I'm thrilled and feel so fancy. It'll look so much better when we paint over the hideous red. And Auds has loved reading the monthly Scripture on our board this month. Quoting this verse has been almost as fun for her as reciting all of the books of the Bible.
He is risen! Happy Easter to you and yours!
