Zion's Parents Day Out

10-23

I hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend. This week we conclude the story of Noah. From the Read and Share Bible. This is the story your child heard today.

Genesis 7:12, 8:1-19, The Dove
After 40 days and 40 nights, the rain stopped, but it still wasn't time to get off the boat. Water was everywhere. One day Noah let a little dove fly out to see what was happening on the earth. It brought a green leaf back. Hooray! The plants were growing again! It was almost time to come out.

Genesis 8:18-22, 9:1-17, The Rainbow
When everyone was out of the boat, Noah built an altar. He thanked God for keeping them safe. Then something wonderful happened! God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky and made Noah a promise. "I will never flood the whole earth like that again," God said. When God makes a promise, He keeps it.

Pictures from Thursday.

We enjoyed making funny Jack-O-Lantern faces, with Mr. Potato Head pieces.

The girls used colored crayons to make scarecrows.


We used dabbers to fill the circles on the scarecrows.

Stamping with circles: small, medium and large. circular shaped containers and tubes.

The Bible story.


We had fun playing outside with our friends.

Boys and their race cars.

The sensory table offers a lot of fun.
We enjoy the sensory table... touching/feeling, measuring, scooping, filling, pouring and picking off the kernels of corn. The class is in awe of the corn husk. 


He used small squares of construction paper as patches on the scarecrow.


She is drawing a picture using large pieces of chalk.


We made animal puppets.

They painted the circle orange.

This child used a special crayon to complete the rainbow.



We are listening to the Bible story.

Enjoy listening as we sing some of our Noah songs.

This is the book that I read to the class.

It's a cloudy and cool day. Weather  frog is going to rake some leaves.



Play doh time.

This is a Halloween matching game.

This is our Superman prayer that we sometimes sing before lunch.





Enjoying books with our friends.






The children used a sponge, in the shape of a Jack-O-Lantern, dipped it in orange paint and stamped it 3 times to form this unique work of art.

This is a song we are learning.

This is another song we are learning.

We sang this song and substituted the words "at the zoo" for "on the ark". We named some animals on the ark, then vocalized the sounds these animals make.

We had an enjoyable day.
