Today is Easter Tuesday, just as sure as Sunday was Easter Sunday. Yes, Easter is celebrated all week long, and we are a resurrection people!School is back in session after taking Holy Week off, and our hallway is bursting with proclamations that Jesus Christ is risen, Alleluia.
The fourth grade made "torn paper" scenes of Jesus' tomb. This is a fun art project, that challenges the perfectionists, and shows mercy to the artistically challenged. Tearing paper can be tricky, but once you get the hang of it you can create wonderful scenes.
All you need is construction paper, glue, and one clasp for the stone. Absolutely no scissors allowed! I let them use markers for fine details.
First we displayed an open tomb, and the bulletin board read, "Jesus Was Laid In The Tomb." The students taped Jesus in the tomb, but did not "roll" the stone across the front until Good Friday.
Then, before we left for our Holy Week vacation, the students sealed the tomb.
When they returned on Easter Monday, the stone had been rolled away, Jesus was resurrected from the dead, and the bulletin board proclaimed, "Jesus is Risen, Alleluia!"
Fabulous project.

ReplyDeleteJanet, the children did beautiful work. You lead their hands and minds to works of art for the Lord and their love for Him shines in that work!
