The KDI for the week is Cooperative Play- Children engage in cooperative play. Playing and working together is so important to learn as a child- how to listen to each other, take turns, share ideas and blend ideas, valuing another person's voice. Humans are naturally egocentric- thinking about themselves first. We have to learn how to put others first. We will be working on this skill this week.
Table Activities- This week our table activities include making sticky faces, building with cups and blocks together, stringing giant beads, making unifix trains, playing games and doing puzzles together and working to balance and build with rocks and popsicle sticks.
Small Group- This week we will be making a pass-around picture, build together, add Gg is for group to our journal and create together.
Large Group- Hopefully this week we will do some parachute play, play catch, bean bag and stick passing as a group.
Books of the Week- "Fox Makes Friends" by Adam Relf and "Bear Feels Sick" by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman.
Bible Story- Our Bible Story for this week talks about working as a group! Jesus was healing and preaching in a house. People had come from all over Galilee to hear Jesus and bring those who needed to be healed to him. The Pharisees (a sect who insisted on following many laws to be saved) were there listening also. A group of men came carrying their friend on a stretcher. Their friend couldn't walk and they were looking for a way to get him inside the house for Jesus to heal him. When they couldn't find a way because of the crowd, they carefully climbed to the roof with him. Roofs in this era and area were flat and often treated as an extra room in their house. When they got to the roof, they removed several tiles and carefully lowered their friend down in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw him, he said, "Son, be happy, your sins are forgiven!" The Pharisees were irate! Only God could forgive sins! Who did Jesus think he was? Jesus knew their thoughts and he confronted them-"Why are you thinking these things? What is easier to say? Your sins are forgiven or get up and walk? But just so you know who I am , young man, take up your mat and walk!" The man immediately got up, took his mat and went home praising God. People were amazed! They had seen miraculous things that day! Miraculous things! We have testimony that Jesus is the Christ throughout scripture! Let's share the miraculous things we have seen and heard to let others know and bring people to know Christ, just like this man's friends brought him to Jesus and laid him right in front of him!
