We are rockin'!

This week we are using rocks to help us listen for the letter Rr and classify!

Table activities this week are looking at and classifying rocks, playing with rocks and water, using rocks to follow lines and stacking rocks.

Our small group activites are painting rocks and using glue, sand and gravel to make conglomerate rocks.

Our KDIs of the week are-

Vocabulary: Children understand and use a variety of words and phrases.- Vocabulary to use when talking about rocks and that rock has different meanings, like rock music!

Classifying: Children classify materials, actions, people, and events- we are classifying rocks.

Jesus Time- This week we are finishing the story of Joseph. After Joseph was thrown into prison for something he did not do, he was able to help out two workers in Pharaoh's palace who were also in jail. They had some strange dreams and Joseph told them what they meant and they came true. When Pharaoh also had some crazy dreams, his servant told him about Joseph. Joseph came before Pharaoh, told him his dreams and what they meant and Pharaoh put him in charge of half the kingdom. There was a famine that swept through the land, but they were prepared. Joseph's brothers weren't. They came to buy food in Egypt, from their own brother. They didn't recognize Joseph, but Joseph recognized them! He put them through several tests to see if they had changed. When it was clear they had, he invited them and their families to move to Egypt. What they had meant for harm, God used for good!! Joseph forgave them for all they had done to him and their family was reunited!
