Cc is for camping.

 

This week we are pretending to camp and listening to the hard sound of Cc. We will talk about Cc's soft sound too!

We have just two days to campout this week- school on Monday, October 5 and Tuesday, October 6. No school Wednesday, October 7 and Thursday, October 8. Have a wonderful long weekend!!

Table Activities- This week we can make a pretend campfire by ripping brown construction paper logs and orange, red and yellow tissue paper fire, pretend camp with camping gear, play with a little world camping scene, color camping coloring pages and playing with "outdoor" themed playdoh.

Jesus Time- This week we hear the story of Jacob's son, Joseph. Joseph was Jacob's favorite son and he was treated as a special favorite. He was given a beautiful, multi-colored coat, which denoted him as the boss. That was a problem because he had 10 older brothers who did not like being bossed around. Joseph had some interesting dreams that he shared with his family where it seemed as if everyone else would be bowing down to him. The brothers grew more and more jealous. Their jealousy lead to them plotting to kill Joseph and at the last minute they were talked into selling him to some traders who would take Joseph as a slave to Egypt. The brothers didn't tell their father what they had done. They lied to him, killed one of the goats that they were tending, dipped Joseph's multi-colored coat in the blood, ripped it up and told their father the story that Joseph had been killed by a wild animal and all they found was his coat. Their father, Jacob, mourned Joseph for a very long time. Even though Joseph was sold into slavery, he continued to trust in God and follow God's will for his life. Joseph did not let his circumstances give him an excuse to sin, but looked for ways to share his faith with others, especially through his actions and attitudes. God was with him always! Joseph firmly believed that. God is with us always too, even in these crazy, chaotic times, God promises us he will never leave us or forsake us!

Large Group- Fun in the tents is our large group this week.
