My first EASTER in the Philippines

Preschool / Homeschool Storytime craft during the week 
before  Easter.  One hand of each child was traced and cut 
out, fingers spread to represent rays of the sun, 
placed behind a cross on a hill.

Easter Lunch Bunch. These friends and colleagues associated with Faith International Academy shared an Easter potluck lunch. 

Thank you Symanzik family for hosting us.

Snowball Toss in tropical Philippines

In addition to an Easter theme, April Preschool and Homeschool Storytimes also included stories, show-and-tell, craft, and wearing the colors black or white.

What is Ezra Jack Keats, The Snowy Day without a snowball toss and making imaginary snow angels on the carpet?

Snowball Basketball. The children thought it was a game;
my objective: clean-up.

After days of elementary school snowball tosses following snow stories in January,  a kindergarten mother spotted two that  had been missing in action back under picture book shelves and told her son to throw away the 'paper wads.' He quickly replied, "No Mom, those aren't paper wads. Those are snow balls!"  He brought them to me for storage (saved for this group).
