DEMONSTRATION ON HOW
A SOLAR ECLIPSE WORKS>>>>

Flashlight was the SUN

Small ball was the MOON

and the globe of course EARTH

I demonstrated how the SUN shines on EARTH

And how EARTH SPINS...... DAYLIGHT for us

and NIGHT TIME for other Side of EARTH

Told them it takes 24 hours to

complete a rotation (1 FULL DAY)

An eclipse happens when the MOON 

moves in front of the SUN

Small ball was the MOON

And we were able to show how the 

SUN was blocked from the MOON

and it will be like night time/evening 

 for a short time...

LIttle bit of light shining

no light shining through

TODAY"S HELPERS

BEAUTIFUL DAY!

OUTDOOR CHAPEL:

We gathered outside by the Sycamore tree

the big "rock" was the tomb

we had musical instruments

and sang praises!!

JESUS IS RISEN, ALLELUIA

Then we got to go on an EASTER EGG HUNT!!

Everyone got one egg with a cross inside

(if the cross didn't make it home---let me

know and I will see if church office has any more)

Also each child got an 

Easter Book!

Abidaan was our Librarian

ESTIMATION JAR...

I did another example

SO that everyone should have had a 

chance to see how it works....

I sent a few letters how today in backpacks

Ellie for tomorrow

Austin for Weds

and Abidaan for Friday

Tomorrow I will send one

home for Thursday

everyone will get a chance over

the next month or so

we looked at the jar

and I explained that sometimes small items

don't take up as much room--so look at how big 

the item is and make a GUESS

Any number between 1-15

I gave each child a chance

to guess and I wrote down their

guesses...

Then we used this chart to help us count....

there were 10(one piece rolled over

before I snapped the picture)

2 friends guessed 10!!!
