KDI of the week- When you grow up and get a job, you are seldom working alone! You work with and for people and sometimes people work for you! We are concentrating on the KDI Cooperative Play, we can start by learning how to play together and learn how to work together!
Table Activities- This week our table activities allow us to pretend at different jobs- art studio, flower shop, veterinarian, restaurant, grocery store and airlines.
Small Group Activities- This week we will add "What do you want to be?" to our journal, continue to explore dramatic play jobs and begin a community helper flip book.
Large Group Activities- We can explore jobs outside too, like construction and cooking!
Books of the Week- "When I Grow Up" by Al Yankovic and "The ABCs of What I Can Be" by Caitlin McDonagh are our books this week.
On Wednesday we are headed to Pearson Metropark in Oregon, OH to see signs of wildlife and what it would be like to be a wildlife explorer!
Bible Story- This week we hear about the first recorded miracle of Jesus. Jesus and his family and friends attended the wedding in the town of Cana. In Jesus' day, weddings were a week long. People traveled a long way to attend and it was tradition to provide a set of wedding clothes and food and drink for the entire time. Usually the best food and drink came at the beginning of the celebrations and the cheaper food and wine came out towards the end of the celebration. Unfortunately for this couple, they were about to run out of wine. Mary, Jesus mother, must have been close with the couple. She knew they would face embarrassment and she told Jesus what was going on. Jesus told her it was not time yet. She then went to the servants and told them to do whatever Jesus told them to do. Jesus went to the servants and told them to fill the water jugs. He then took a ladle out of the water jugs and told them to serve it to the man in charge of the banquet. When they did, the man was astonished! It was delicious! He said to the couple, "Usually people serve the cheap wine at the end of the celebration, but you have saved the best for last!"
Jesus wanted those who knew what he did to keep quiet. It was not the point to show how Jesus had saved the wedding by turning water into wine, it was showing that Jesus loves and cares about us even in the little things! God uses his mighty power to help us and keep us all the time. So many miracles occur each day! Jesus is God and he showed that in this miracle and the many wondrous signs and miracles that follow!
What a God we have who does miracles for our benefit daily!
