Cc is for camping!

Cc is for Camping!

This week our activities are centered around the camping theme! Morning activities include playing in tents, making our little world campsite, making a rip art campfire, camp coloring and painting with marshmallows.

Small group includes lantern making, a popsicle stick tent and adding a Cc is for camping page to our journals.

Our KDI for the week is-
Pretend play: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through pretend play. As children play in the tent and act out with the miniature campsite, we see and hear what they think about. Relationships, activities all are figured out in pretend play.

Jesus Time-
This week we are hearing about Jacob's favorite son, Joseph. Joseph was one of Jacob's younger sons and was placed in charge of his older brothers which was signified by a colorful coat his father gave him to wear. Joseph had also been given several dreams which pointed to him being bowed down to by his brothers. This made his older brothers very jealous! So jealous that they planned to get rid of him. Some wanted to even kill him! But they decided to sell Joseph to some traders who passed by and Joseph was sold into slavery in the country of Egypt. The brothers then tricked their father into believing that Joseph was dead by ripping up his colorful coat and dipping it in some blood from a sheep they had killed. Jacob mourned his son for a long time! Next week, we will hear the rest of the story of how God continued to be with Joseph and eventually Joseph did save his brothers' and father's lives.

Books of the week- "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen, "The Berenstain Bears Go To Camp" by Stan and Jan Berenstain, "Charlie Goes Camping" by Carrie Weston.

Have a fantastic week!
