Library Activities

One of the actives we did with the class 1-4 was to make a mobile.  First we read them a story about caterpillars.  It talked about growth and change of the caterpillar.  So with the mobile we gave them pictures of each stage as well as a bible versus to go with it. It went really well.








Library

The library has continued to move forward.  Once a week in the evenings I would go over to the library from 7-8 in the evening to do some tutoring with the kids. They enjoy this time as it gets them out of the there classroom for a while. This evening I had the kids do a word search of animals from Kenya. Then once they were done with that they wrote a short story about these animals.  We have animal figure puppets in the library that they used to tell there stories.  It went pretty well.









Additions

We have had some additions to our house some that are greatly appreciated and some not so much.

First we have been blessed with a stove.  Not sure if you have tired to live without a stove but it does restrict some of the things that you would like to do or make.  As you can see in the picture below our first night with the stove was pizza.  Since then cookies and banana bread have come from the stove.



The second thing that entered the house was a chameleon.  The first day it was found trying to get into an open window.  The thought was that it never got in. The next morning when I woke up and went to open the curtains there it was hanging out on the bars of the window.  It shocked me at first.  And then waited for others in the house to wake up to remove it.  They do not scare me or concern me very much.  Rather that then another mouse.
