Summer Camp Monday 7/1

 Hi Preschool A Families!

I can't believe we are already in July! 

    Today was so much fun! We played inside for a bit. We made a football stadium with magnetic blocks while we were at it! While some of the kids were at gymnastics camp, the rest of us went out on the playground. We stayed outside until they returned. Then, we went to the parking lot for water play day! I had chalk and bubbles for the kids that didn't want to get wet since it ended up being chilly for a water day. Most kids ended up deciding to get wet eventually! The water guns were a huge hit! We dried off, came inside, changed, and ate our snacks. 

    Next, we had Bible Time. Our Bible topic for this week is The Fruits of the Spirit- Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control from Galatians 5:22-23. We discussed that these are all things that Jesus had and because we have Jesus in our hearts we can have them too. Just like how an apple tree that isn't growing apples is a sign that the tree might be sick, we grow in our faiths and produce these "fruits" that show that our faith is healthy. It helps us share God's love and tell others about Jesus too! We watched a video to help explain that these "Fruits of the Spirit" aren't literal fruits (which can be a bit confusing) and then we also did a dance/song to help us remember them. I encourage you to play the song for your kiddos this week to help them remember! Its super short and catchy too- Fruits of the Spirit Song !  

After Bible time, we went back outside. We ended up playing a whole class game of tag! Having 10 four and five year olds chase you around a playground does not make for good picture-taking so I apologize for not having any pictures after Bible Time. However, the kids were having so much fun that we stayed out there for a whole 35 minutes until it was time to wash up for lunch! 

It was another successful day of camp!

God's Blessings,

Summer Camp Monday 7/15

 Hi Preschool A Families! I hope you all had a great weekend! Today was a great day at camp. We played inside until everyone was here for the day and then we went out to the playground before it got too hot outside. While we were outside, a few kids went to gymnastics camp. When they came back we ate snack inside and sat down for Bible story time. We discussed Moses parting the Red Sea which is our story for the week. We talked about how powerful God is and that He is a miracle worker. Then we played in the classroom and I got out some play-dough on the back table. We went to the commons to get the last of the jitters out and spun around on the scooter seats, which we have never been able to use before. The kids were having a blast! When we were done in the commons we had a few minutes to spare to play in the classroom so I played a minion dance party video and a shark hunt interactive video for those who didn't want to play in the classroom. After going to lunch, a special guest c...

Summer Camp Tuesday 7/9

 Hi Preschool A Families!  We had a rainy, inside camp day, but we still had so much fun! The kiddos played in the classroom this morning making magic wands, tunnels, coloring, pretend firework shows, and *very intensely* playing with balloons! Some of our friends went to soccer camp and we waited for them to return to eat snack before we went to the Commons to run our energy out with Preschool B! We got to use funny bird puppets that make squawking noises and bouncing balls that we don't normally get to use so the kids were very excited. When we came back to the room, we talked about our Bible story for the week- Jesus calms the storm. We talked about how trusting God may be scary at times but He will always protect us like in our story. We watched the Bible video and then got to make our craft that spins from stormy weather to sunny weather. After craft, we played in our room for a bit longer and then went to lunch!  It was another successful day of camp! TOMORROW! We ...

Summer Camp Friday 7/26 (Last Day!)

  What a fun last day of Summer Camp! The kids were able to do all of their favorite things today, from playing outside to playing Sharks and Minnows in the gym. We had a blast! Our special treat for the last day of Summer Camp was not only Kona Ice, but also a visit from Spider-Man! The kids loved getting a chance to talk to him, and it was hard when we had to say goodbye! :) It was a joy spending a week with your kids and getting to know them. I hope they had lots of fun, because I know I did! I pray that you all have a great rest of your Summer! In Christ, Jesse Muehler
