Holy Week craft


Edited to show the finished product, as completed by my 7-yr-old. Not bad!
Trying something different for Sunday school tomorrow: I found a Polish craft online somewhere with the rooster which called Peter out, and I figured you could do the same thing for a number of other Holy Week events. The basic idea is you cut out a symmetrical scene from white paper and mount it on a dark background. I found some purple and indigo cardstock at Michael's yesterday, which I plan on using along with deep purple yarn. These images are on copy paper- two per page. Now I'd like to print out the applicable gospel verses to paste to the reverse of each sheet. We're trying it with K-5. My hope is that they'll be able to finish it up next week- otherwise they might have to take the pieces home.

Unconventional Imaginary Friends
We've been reading and talking about Thanksgiving at our house (for some reason...) a lot lately. The boys have really latched on to a couple of concepts- so well, in fact, that we ran into Massasoit at Pomodoro today. He sat at our table (he apparently ate a whole pizza by himself), and followed us home. John told me that he is so nice that he is going to stay with us for 5 years (he was quick to refute Isaac's statement that our new houseguest was going to stay forever: "Isaac, he can't stay with us that long. Everybody gets old and dies.") All the same, by this evening, the length of stay had been revised to 16 years.

Ever the instigator, I asked whether we were going to see Squanto (to whom Isaac seems to have taken a liking- he wanted to hear the Squanto story again and again). "Oh, yes. Massasoit is on the telephone inviting him." At least we had help raking the leaves (it really did help motivate the boys), and when planting time rolls around, we know who to call!
