Surely He took up our pain

and bore our suffering, 

yet we considered Him punished by God, 

stricken by Him, and afflicted. 

But He was pierced for our transgressions, 

He was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, 

 and by His wounds we are healed.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 

each of us has turned to our own way; 

and the LORD has laid on Him

the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:4-6

The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. 

Come and see the place where He lay.  Then go quickly and tell His disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. 

There you will see Him.’ Now I have told you.”

As we journey with Jesus through Holy Week 
we begin with Palm Sunday but all to soon the  
shouts of HOSANNA turn to shouts of  CRUCIFY. 

We are given many opportunities to focus on Jesus.

Zion was chosen by the Missouri Botanical Garden to be part of the Sprouting Science Program for 2016-2017.
This is very exciting.  We will be learning about plants and getting a school garden.   As I attend workshops we will be doing various activities in our classroom.
Families in my class are invited to the Botanical Garden on May 12, 5:30-7:30 for Family Garden Night.  This is a free event.  I will give you more information as soon as I receive it!

We started with describing this plant.

May we join together this weekend in worship as we sing our HOSANNAS and praise our KING in church!

IN HIM,

Amy

A small peek at our week...
Be sure to ask your child about the fun surprises on St. Patrick's Day and the testing rewards that were received!

TESTING...

On Monday we got shiny pencils to help us sparkle during our tests.

We also got SMARTIES because we are so smart!

Then we wrote, 'How to Blow a Bubble'.

We made a self portrait blowing a bubble.

We just had a BALL during testing week.

We enjoyed playing with the bouncy balls.

We learned about measuring with a ruler using inches.

We shared with partners what we learned about Georgia O'Keefe

We used real pictures of flowers to draw in the style of O'Keefe.

We were flying high this week and just soared through our testing.

We worked in a new poetry book reading the poems and illustrating them.

We even had a seek and find to do when we finished with our tests and while we waited for others to get done.
