The second week of school started off with a lot of animals and fun activities. Unfortunately, our group dwindled because of illness, we are continuing to pray for a quick recovery for the Parker and Burden kids, we miss you guys. The kids met "Billy" today and it was precious to watch their faces. Billy talked about being a good listener and he helped out with the calendar.
I think CJ wanted to take Billy home, he really liked him.
Billy loved giving all the kids kisses and hugs.
Using the Flannel graph, the kids told the story of how God created the animals, big and small. This lesson had a ton of animals to place, thanks Lindsay for all the cutting!
Siege and CJ really enjoyed creating our Bible Picture today. They thought Adam could walk on water. Adam was pretty cool since he got to name all the animals, but not as cool as our Savior.
Craft Time
Paint by number worked well with this age. We focused on green, yellow and brown. Jack and Noah enjoyed mixing the colors, while Eisley and Addison focused on filling in the entire picture. Good Job!
Continuing to focus on animals, the kids made Bird Feeders. With stale bread and cheerios, we found that the rope made things difficult, but they were able to create a sample. Noah enjoyed eating the old bread more, yum!
Eisley and Addison are very proud of their Bird feeders. They can't wait to hang them up.
The finished product, hung outside for God's creatures.....especially bugs!
On day 2 of the week, we played a game called "What's in the bag?" The kids got to describe different objects in a bag and talk about their purpose or use. The light bulb really got them thinking!
We had some new friends join us, Tracy and her son Siege, who really loved coloring over the sandpaper. The sandpaper was cut into different animal and plant shapes, and then the kids rubbed crayons over them to decorate their picture. Gus was just hanging around, even our little ones get a piece of the action.
As we read, Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? the kids got to hold stuffed animals and share with the group what kind of sounds each animal made.
CJ really enjoyed making dinosaur sounds. While Eisley gave the best frog sound, and Siege realized deers are a quieter animal.
Snack Time, Dance Party, and Lunch!
The kids sure enjoyed their Animal Crackers and Peanut Butter. Addison and Eisley did a great job eating the celery too! Yeah for veggies!
Noah and Jack had to "cheers" with each animal cracker, good buds.
During the dance party, even little Juliette started rocking out.
Ahhh, we made it to lunch. Surprisingly the kids did pretty well eating their own food, for a minute. Then the little ones decided they needed to partake in everyone else's. Thank the Lord, we made it through Week 2!
