On Easter Sunday we watched a DVD of Christ's life, miracles, death and Resurrection. Then we read a great Children's book entitled '3 Days of Darkness - a Nephite Easter Story'. And then we made time lines. We sat at the table and I drew one piece at a time while the kids copied. It helped us remember what happened in each side of the world during Christ's life and death and keep it all straight. They loved it and were eager to make their time lines perfect.On Monday night for FHE I handed each kid a blank piece of paper and sent them to a different table in the house. Without any review they were to recreate their timeline. They all came back practically perfect... some with extra details and cute pictures. (see below) We dated them and added them to our Family Home Evening binder.
On Tuesday when Emily got home from Kindergarten she opened her backpack and handed me a new copy of her timeline with an extra photocopy. She said she drew it at school in free time and that her teacher liked it so much she made copies so she and the teacher's assistant could keep one. Emily asked for an extra copy so she could send one to her grandma. When Emily's teacher saw me a couple days later she said she was so impressed with Emily's timeline that she decided to share her project and have Emily explain it to the whole class. How fun for Emily to be a Missionary in her Kindergarten class!
