For many of us, Lent is a journey on the 'Via Dolarosa', the way of sorrows which Our Lord took on His way to the cross. Easter, then is a celebration of the Passion, death, resurrection and triumph of Christ. For us, Easter is a New Birth. St. Patrick, St. Francis of Assisi and other saints used many symbols to help us understand mysteries of faith. The egg has long been a wonderful spiritual symbol of our Triune God. With the yolk hidden inside we think of the Holy Spirit; the white is between the yolk and the shell and that reminds us that Jesus went between God and Man; Lastly Our Heavenly Father Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, like the shell which surrounds the egg.

Free Printable Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Activities
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a wonderfully whimsical childrens' story from the husband and wife duo of Judi and Ron Barrett, 1982. I remember discovering it and sharing it with my students in 1986. They "ate it up!" (pardon the pun!). Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a modern tall tale; in the town of ChewandSwallow, the weather brings all the food that residents need. Instead of rain and snow, pie, hotdogs, spaghetti and fried eggs rain down. It's a great thing, until the weather turns stormy. The school is covered with a giant pancake, homes are ruined by oversized pickles and businesses closed due to snowdrifts of cream cheese and jelly sandwiches.Happily, cartoonists and filmmakers have elected to create a feature length cartoon based on Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. The story has been added and developed to fill a movie. I'm pleased to note that Ron Barrett's original illustrations have been faithfully used in the cartoon. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs offers the perfect tall tale for reading and enjoyment in the classroom. Free Printable Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Activities
