The children enjoyed our "in-house" field trip today!!  The Magic House!!!  Today we learned about our 5 senses!!!  The children did a wonderful job and had a great time!
We also read a story and made a class book.  The story was " I went walking down the Road...."  It was a fun book to read because it had lots of rhyming words.  I then asked the children to fill in the sentence... I went walking.... I then wrote what they said and they colored the pictures.  It was fun and will be fun to share :)
During Jesus time we read a David and Goliath book.  The children did an amazing job remembering the story(from last week) and understanding the main message.  You do not need to be afraid when you have God on your side.  After reading the story we pretended to be David and took turns throwing beanbags at Goliath(a large paper cut out picture).  As they threw the beans bags I asked them to say,
"I'm not afraid!!!"  And then I asked them why they (or why David)wasn't afraid?  And they all answered because God is on my side!!!  It was very exciting to watch and they children loved this activity!!!
