What a great start to the new semester and 2012!  It was fun to see all your children again and to teach them about sharing with friends.  The first week of sharing time went well.  Please make sure to bring an item your child loves, so he/she will be excited to talk all about it.  This week's sharing friends are... Tues: Keaton & Alex; Wed: Katie & Luke; Thurs: Barron & Zach. 
This week's unit is Help Our Friends.  Our bible story will follow this theme with "Jesus Helps The FIshermen".  After fishing for a long time and not catching anything, a man will tell them to where to cast their net and find the fish.  The fishermen will then know the man is Jesus and will see the importance of following Him.  For art, we will be making some rainbow fish with tissue paper and tin foil, as we follow Jesus. 
The shape of the week is an Octagon and will get to paint a Stop sign.  We will also learn a new song, teaching the children about an octagon.  Story time will round out our helping friends theme with the book, My Friend Rabbit by Eric Rohmann. 

Blessings,
Kai
