Learning about the Power of the Cross

At The Frankfort Christian Academy, we believe that learning about and understanding the story of Jesus's Resurrection is a vital part of our students' education. All of our students have Bible class each day, but on the week leading up to Resurrection Sunday, we do even more to highlight this pivotal piece of Biblical history. Our faculty have been taking the power of the cross into the classroom in a bigger way than usual this week. 

Let's take a look at how the Resurrection story has been front and center in our classrooms:

Mrs. Grimes's PK3 students (led by Ms. Howson while Mrs. Grimes is on maternity leave) acted out Jesus's Triumphal Entry of Palm Sunday by making palm branches and waving them as a student rode a substitute donkey (rolling chair) down the middle of the group. 

PK4 students in Mrs. Doolin's classroom made Resurrection Rolls on Wednesday! She says:  "We used crescent rolls and marshmallow and cinnamon and sugar. We used the crescent roll as the cloth and Jesus was the marshmallow. We wrapped him in it and sprinkled with the cinnamon and sugar as the perfume. Placed him in the tomb (oven) and waited. When we went to check on him he was gone! Or as my class said he melted away. They loved it and it was a great visual for them." You can make these at home too! 

Mrs. Cravens's PK4 class is making these Resurrection Books:  

Several classes, including Mrs. Doolin's PK4s and Mrs. Boyd's Kindergarten students will be making Resurrection Cookies! Make your own!

Mrs. Cull's 1st Grade students make these snacks every year when they talk about Jesus's Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem:

Mrs. Perkins's 2nd Grade students took to the stage in Chapel services today to share the story of The Last Supper!

It has been a very special week here at TFCA and we wrapped it up with a Good Friday chapel service. Thank you, Andrew Eaton, for blessing our students, faculty, and staff with your powerful message!
