Week 4

Week 4 went great! Instead of doing a bible story this week, we talked about the importance of prayer in our life.

Our letters of the week were E and F. So we did our Totally Tots letters and our letter art page.  E was elbow painting and elephants and F was feathers and frogs.

Our number craft was from the 4 fisherman's in Matthew 4:18-22.  I had to bribe him with a cookie just so he would glue his fish to the picture!

Then we started our fall crafts.  First we did some leaf  drawings and I put the poem in it that I found at Mama Jenn's website http://mama-jenn.blogspot.com/2010/04/four-seasons-book.html

Last but least, I am now the only one teaching Wednesday night bible class for ages 4-7 so I will try to put in our craft for the week that we done to help any of you out with ideas!  We did Zaccheaus this week, so after reading from the Bible I had them draw their arm and hand on a piece of paper. The hand we used a cotton ball since it was easier for them to stay on the fingers that way.  Then I printed out a picture of Zaccheaus off of the dltk website and had them glue it on the picture.  We also practice climbing on the chairs to see if we could see objects better.
