It just dawned on me that Easter is less than 2 weeks away and I had not even begun to make plans for Easter week! So I sat down tonight and looked around at a few websites and came up with a tentative plan for our Easter Study. I think I’ve managed to put together a fun unit, with the focus on the true meaning of Easter.
Each day will begin with a Bible reading, followed by a book, and then a craft or other activity. I found with my Advent study, that less is definitely more! Our study will begin on Palm Sunday (March 16) and end, of course, on Resurrection Sunday (Easter, March 23). We’ll also be putting together the Easter lapbook from Hands of a Child.
