Our day
 Thanks to Mrs. Haun and her husband, we have a new table. Right now we are standing by it but eventually we will be able to sit on cushions around it. Free style drawing with markers. We got creative.
 Play doh.
No vehicles on the table. Instead the students had an opportunity to touch, see and smell crazy looking gourds.
Thanks to Mrs. Walter we have an official altar in our classroom.
 Our Bible story.

 Books of the day.

 Watching a few videos. Alphabet/Sounds, Numbers/counting, seasonal - Fall/Halloween.
