Over the next three weeks of Joy School we will be studying the story of Jesus' birth.
We started off our morning with another educational playtime.
Today we played with tracks.
Tracks are like pieces of a puzzle only we get to design and create the puzzle ourselves!!
We had many pieces and the goal was to make an oval shape track.
They had to figure out when to use 'curved' and 'straight' tracks.
Also when and where to add special pieces!
We had another goal...to make a circle track.
They soon realized that this task required only curved pieces.
and after all that hard work...
they played =D
After our playtime we settled down for our prayer time.
We prayed for our daddies.
Every week each child has it on their heart to pray for their daddy- I love it!
One student this week said, "Pray for me-I not sleep berry good at night time."
Which lead another one to ask for prayer for her brother, "Pray for brother-so he's not so sleepy."
After our pledges we worked at Circle time.
Discovering that today was the very first day of December
lead some to realize that Christmas is getting much closer!!
Then after reading and talking about our Bible story we went to the table for craft time.
We found the letter 'I' and stamped it on our work page and...
worked hard to color, staying inside the lines, upper case 'I' and lower case 'i'.
In our Bible time we read about how the angel Gabriel spoke to Mary
and how she said yes to God.
They searched for just the right color and size eyes for their angel.
In the pile of such little eyes I came across a set that was quite different-
I decided to surprise them!
Of course that lead to other kiddies wanting to try and make everyone laugh!!
It was silly, but really funny!!!
We ended the day laughing-what could be better???!!!
