3-5

Jesus Stops a Storm
Mark 4:35-41

Jesus and His followers got into a boat, and set out across the lake. Jesus was so tired that He fell asleep. Soon a strong wind began to blow. Waves came over the side of the boat. Everyone was very frightened. They woke Jesus. "Help us, or we'll drown!" Jesus commanded the wind and waves to be still. The wind stopped, and there were no more waves coming into the boat. The lake became calm.

Question:
When you are frightened, what do you do?

Key Point:
Remember, Jesus is always there with you. Just ask him to help you. He will.

My God is So Great

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty 
There's nothing my God cannot do 
My God is so big, so strong and so mighty 
There's nothing my God cannot do

God Is With Me-Finger Play

God is with me day and night. When it is dark (cover eyes with hands). When it is light (remove hands from eyes). He is always watching me (cup hands around eyes like a pair of binoculars). Wherever I am (turn around in a circle with arms stretched out), He can see (point to eyes) and God will take care of me (hug self).

Take a look and see how we spent the day in PDO.

PDO friends began the day playing with toys.



Puzzle time was enjoyed by many.


Some friends had fun marking on the white board.

Do a dot ABC booklet.


Shamrock patterning.








The magnetic board provided the children a chance to interact with each other and practice the letter names as they placed the magnets on the board.



We LOVED playing with the snow.

Jesus board.

Our Bible story.

We made a booklet of the story, Jesus Calms the Storm. We colored it. We want to share it with our family. Please read it to us.







Book time.

Recess.











We painted a design of our own using yellow paint.

Fishing, just like the disciples.

He is coloring a Dr. Suess handout.



We made lions!



We stamped rectangles.

Today I read a few cold weather books to the class.

Penguin befriended a pinecone.

He wrapped the pinecone in his scarf.

He made a nest for the pinecone at the edge of the forest.

After sometime had past he returned to the forest. Penguin didn't find the pinecone. Instead he found a tree.

This book was all about sledding with friends.


This book counts down the numbers.

It tells about animal homes in the forest. Snowflakes are used to help us count numbers 10-1.


We spent an enjoyable day together in PDO. Blessings on your evening.
