Abidaan got to 

hold ZEBRA today

Luke was our

attendance helper

** at this time we had 2 friends NOT here

(but one friend came a few minutes late)

so then we had 1 friend NOT at school

and 14 friends here

Ben was invocation leader

and devotion helper

Today for Jesus time we started

with my bucket of beautiful gems BUT

some of my beautiful GEMS got lost!!!

Then one of the children spotted one... and everyone

helped me find all my lost gems!!

everyone feels so much better when something that is LOST

gets found. This is like when we sin.... we may get lost

from Jesus BUT he never forgets us or forgets to find us

finding my LOST gems

Then we read the bible story

THE LOST SONS....

I first explained what the word

PARABLE  means..

a story that has a spiritual lesson

Jesus like to tell parables

to teach us !!

Today's bible story is a parable

The son in todays story decided he wanted the money

his father would give him one day

NOW so he could go live his own life!!

He had a great time spending all the money

BUT then the money ran out and he had no

choice but to go work(pig farm) just so he could have a little food

Embarrassed and ashamed he decided he

would rather work for his father

than live with the pigs

His father saw him returning and

CELEBRATED his sons return!

Even though the son mad poor choices,

 lost all his money and returned ashamed and hungry

his father forgave him

JUST like our HEAVENLY FATHER forgives

us when we lose our way(sin)--God always is there

He loves us and forgives us

R is our letter this week

We thought of LOTS of R words

Center time

I did small group work 

with today's friends...

practicing making the letter R

This sheet showed the children how

to make the letter R

Start at the top

make a big line down

then leapfrog back to top 

then make a little curve

and make a diagonal little lines

We then practiced on 

a chalkboard.....

the chalkboard has a smiley face at the top

to remind the children to start at the top

After making the R with

chalk, each child had a wet eraser

and went over the line

and could SEE another R left behind

Charleigh was our

superintendent

JAcob was our exercise leader

Toe Touches...

This is always a more challenging one....

Have to cross over our bodies to touch

the opposite toe THEN stand ALL the way back up and

touch the other toe...

opposite hand to toe each time
