The KDI for the week is diversity- Children understand that people and places have diverse characteristics, interests and abilities. We will look at the people and places in both Michigan and Alaska and discuss and experience the diversity found there.
Table Activities- Table activities this week include igloo building, Arctic habitat, dogsled craft, inukshuk exploration, coloring pages, ice fishing, totem pole building and an Alaska sensory bin.
Small Group Activities- We will make a polar bear painting, use chalk pastels to make Northern Lights, add an Alaska page to our journals, and make Tlingit paper piece art.
Large group Activities- Large group activities include blanket toss with a parachute, iceberg jumping, roll the die to move like an Alaskan animal and fan dancing.
Books of the Week- "Charlie and the Blanket Toss" by Tricia Brown, "Itchy Little Musk Ox" by Tricia Brown and "Alaska ABC Book" by Charlene Kreeger and Shannon Cartwright.
Bible Story- Our Bible Story this week is the story of the 10 lepers. In Biblical times, leprosy was a tragic sickness that affected people in all levels of society. Leprosy was contagious, so those afflicted had to move away from their families to leper colonies and were prevented from interacting with the rest of society. One day, 10 lepers call to Jesus from a long way off, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!" Jesus told them to go and show themselves to the priest which is how they would be allowed to enter society again, when the priest announced that they were clean. As the lepers walked to the priest, they were cleansed. One, only one, of them turned around and went back to find Jesus. When he did, he fell at Jesus feet and thanked him! Jesus asked him, "Weren't there 10 cleansed? Where are the other 9?" Then he told him to rise and go, his faith had made him well!
Just thank you, that's all that needs to be said. Thank you for being parents that support your kids and bring them to hear God's Word!
Thank you to our Mighty God who loves us!
