we made trail mix for snack






snack time






During Jesus time...we marched around the walls of Jericho

On the 7th day..... we blew our "trumpets"!!

And the walls came tumbling down!!!



The children had so much fun ..... we did it again!!







Blow your trumpets!!!




Dancing to music

HAPPY THANKSGIVING:

What a wonderful day!!  The children are very excited for Thanksgiving... and enjoyed sharing what they eat at their own houses.  We heard things from turkey and mashed potatoes to hot dogs!!!
We made Indian headbands which the children enjoyed wearing throughout the day.
We also shared a special snack.  The children got to choose their own items to add to their baggies to make their own trail mix.  We got to choose from a variety of cereals and a special treat...marshmallows!!!  The children thought this was great and really enjoyed the marshmallows.
During Jesus time we finished the story of Joshua and the walls of Jericho.  We made trumpets from toilet paper rolls and used block to make the walls of Jericho.  The children especially enjoyed "acting" the story out .  I think this also helped them remember the story..... ask your child what happened after the people marched around the city on the 7th day/ 7 times when Joshua told the people to "shout" and "blow your trumpets!! " I'm sure they will say, " The walls came tumbling down!!"  God is great!
And during music time, Mrs Rouland played music and talked with the children about fast music and slow music....
When the music is fast... you dance fast.  When the music is slow.... you dance slow.  And then when there is NO
music .... you freeze!!  The children LOVED this and everyone had a great time dancing!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!
"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever."
Psalm 107:1
