Eleanor was invocation leader

Here is a clue (picture below)for this

week's bible story......

we took a few guesses at what

the story will be...

Then I told the class we

were going to play a game..

Jesus gathered people to help him spread

GOD's Word -- today GOD wants us spreading 

HIS word...

This game helped us learn how fast

we can spread God's word...

 I whispered to 2 people a message

GOD LOVES YOU---

then they got to choose 2 people to

share the message with

then those 2 people each got to 

choose 2 people...

AND SO FORTH AND SO ON

Until the whole

class----- had heard the message

and it only took a few minutes...

GOD LOVES YOU!!!

The children enjoyed spread

GOD'S word.....

then we read how Jesus

gathered His disciples

to spread GOD'S WORD

Ellie was teacher assistant

we thought of so many S words today!!!!

SAD TRUMPET..

AKA

A WOMP WOMP

the last 2 days I have shared this with the class..

we talk a lot about feelings...

Sometimes we feel sad, worried, angry

frustrated, disappointed...

ALL those feelings are OK

and it is important how we handle those feelings

we talked about OK ways to express those feeling and yesterday

 and today included

holding and using the WOMP WOMP

I told the kids if they are having any of the above feelings

instead of stomping or making angry faces, etc..

they can ask for the WOMP WOMP..

and one of the teachers will hand it to them to use (along with taking a deep

breath to help calm our bodies)

Listening to the sound of the 

WOMP WOMP

has brought a smile to everyone's face...

and makes us realize--- we all have BIG feelings--we just 

need to express them in safe ways...

Center Time

A few friends helped cut out

rectangles for the

igloo...

other friends went off and chose

a center to play in...

after cutting out rectangles (ice blocks)

friends glued them to the igloo
