Week 16

Letter of the week: M
Bible Stories: Elijah and Elisha

Memory Verse: "My Children, don't just talk about love. Put your love into action. then it will truly be love."

Birds Fed Elijah:

For this bible activity we pretended to be birds and picked up "food" flew it over and dropped in in front of Elijah.

We also drew and counted groups of 3 birds for the "Count on Me" section this week.

God's fire to the Altar:

For our craft on this day, we used play dough to make a model of Elijah's altar. Complete with a little bull and fire.

Oil kept flowing:

2 Kings 4:1-7

We had a great time acting out this story. Even little Caleb got into this one, giving his sister "empty jars" when she went door to door asking for them. Then he handed them to her as she filled them up with "oil" until there were no more jars. After that, Cora sold me the jars of oil. It was a fun activity.

Naaman was healed:

This day we used laundry soap and water to make little bars of soap. This was to remind her that Naaman was to go and wash in the river. It was fun to make and shape the soap, but I wasn't too keen on using laundry soap to wash our hands.

Week 15

Letter of the week: Review week Letters A - L

Bible stories: King Solomon

Solomon's Wisdom:

While studying Solomon, Cora learned that God told him to ask for anything and he could have it and that he asked for wisdom. After that, in her prayers at night, she prayed and asked God to give her wisdom!

Building the Temple:
For the bible activity the second day we created a temple out of spaghetti noodles and mini marshmallows. It was so much fun. She did a great job. Then she ate the temple. :-)

Giving Thanks:

After the temple was completed the people gave thanks. We practiced giving thanks by taking out all our musical instruments and marched around making "a joyful noise" while thanking God for all our many blessings. "Thank you God for _____________"

Count on me:

Drew three crosses in each box and then practiced writing our numbers and counting by threes.
