Bible Story: Gen. 18:9-16, 21:1-7

When one of the visitors finished eating, he said,"Where is your wife, Sarah?" "She's over there in the tent," Abraham said. "Next year Sarah will have a baby boy," the visitor said. Sarah heard and laughed. She couldn't believe it. I'm too old to have a baby, she thought. Abraham is too old too. In about a year Sarah had a baby boy, just like God had promised. Abraham named the baby Isaac. Isaac means "laughter." Sarah was so happy with her baby boy. She said, "God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me."

Key points: God can do anything.
                    God answers all prayers with yes, no, or in his own time, we may need to wait.

Songs:

Father Abraham

Father Abraham had many sons
Had many sons had Father Abraham
I am one of them
And so are you
So let's just praise the Lord

[Yell "right arm" and move right arm, as if marching.]


Martin Luther (tune: Frere Jacques)

Marti Luther, Martin Luther
Saved by Grace, Saved by Grace,
All our sins for given, All our sins forgiven
God  loves us, God loves us      

Finger play:

First you take a pumpkin big and round and fat
Then you cut off the top to make a hat
You hollow out the eyes and the nose and the mouth
And show it to the children for a Halloween Surprise

Wednesday Photos:

To start the day, let's play with toys.

We made the Luther Rose seal.

On #3 we placed 3 kernels of corn.

We used markers to color the Bible story handout.

In the sensory table we filled containers with corn. We used a magnifying glass to look closely at the corn kernels and gourds.

I can play the piano.


Farm land fun.

Enjoying books with friends.

We made silly Jack-O-Lanterns.

I cut strips to make a wind sock.



We used water color to paint 3 fish.

I am making an Autumn tree.



 A boy and his car.






It's fun to crawl through tunnels.










Jesus Time.

Our  board depicts Martin Luther and our current story, "Sarah Laughs."


We sang our morning greeting song for you, enjoy.


We sang and danced to the song,  Looby Lou.






These are the books that the children heard today.


Bean Bag Toss.



It was a chilly recess.








I washed the pumpkin.



Wow, we used our senses to investigate the pumpkin.


Mrs. Burke carved the pumpkin.

How cute.
Our posters tell the story of Noah.

The hall display crafted with love and knowledge.

The silly Jack-O-Lanterns adorn the window in the Lobby.

Our Knuckle Pumpkin Patch and other seasonal art work.




We also used our senses to look at the bean and grass sprouts.

We learned about root systems. Roots help plants stand up and bring food and water to the sprouts.

This concludes our day in PDO.

It was a wonderful Wednesday.
