Special Crowns
Wednesday night the Rainbows finished up our unit on God made me special. Our final worksheet was a picture of a crown with jewels. So, we used wrapped candy and made a "Special Crown". Then the kids were supposed to give their crowns to someone they thought was special. The kids all decided on their own who they wanted to give their crowns to... most gave to their moms but a few gave to their Dads and Grandparents.
While we were talking about being special two of the boys in my class, who are 3 years old, recapped what we talked about last week. They told me the story of Samson and Delilah from last week. Boy was I surprised... To finish up our night the kids individually told me the memory verse: Your hands made me. Psalms 119:73. To help remember this verse we played hot potato with a balloon. They loved playing with the balloon. We had a great evening!

We finished our Ladybug unit! YEAH!!! So, for the evening, we focused one last time on "Praising God." We colored the last of our worksheets, sang a couple of songs, listened to a story about a man who couldn't walk and then God healed him and made him walk! He was "walking and jumping and praising God." And finished up the evening with "buggy" snacks and playing toys. All of the kids that were there for the evening recieved their badges for this unit! They were all able to tell me the memory verse with little or NO help!
Praise the Lord. Psalm 150:1
Last Wednesday evening we started a new unit: LADYBUGS! Trying to theme everything to go along with the unit, we had ladybug cookies (sugar cookies with red frosting and chocolate chips on top). Since we started a new unit, we had to learn a new memory verse. To help the kids remember the new verse we played a musical game and we also did thumbprint ladybugs. To go along with the lesson we did a craft project. Q-tip painting was the highlight of the night. We finished the evening with snacks... apples and Carmel dip!!! YUMMY!
