Somehow or other, I sort of forgot that I had not put these photos onto the blog.
Father Jim came into our class on Maunday Thursday. He worked with the students to make the connection between Jesus' words and actions at the Last Supper, and the gift of His Body and Blood that the children will receive through Communion. He was very impressed with their understanding.
He also thought that the students were doing a lovely job of recreating Leonardo Da Vinci's painting. The students were trying to remember the names of all of the 12 Apostles.
It was a lot of work....
...but I hope that you were able to display this labour of love at your Easter table.
The students also worked hard on telling the story of Passion Week. The stories will continue as they hear more about Jesus' work with the disciples, helping be ready for his final ascension into Heaven.
We have finished our stories about Kaya, an Indigenous girl from the New Perce nation in the USA. It is an important new curriculum requirement that students in Alberta have an understanding and appreciation for our First Nation peoples, and I believe that the students in my class see that those who came before us, lived a life that reflected values based on respect for the laws of nature.
