Flags and Lemons and Birthdays . . . Oh My!

We had quite a day on Friday! We started our day by going out to see the flags we made on Thursday. They were on display for a little while, until the drizzle started!! We talked a little about the events of 9/11. We followed that with our tasting party. It was so funny!! First, we tasted lemons. It was neat to watch them, without preconceived notions of how the lemons would taste. The teachers were much more hesitant than the kids. It was really fun to see the different reactions. Harrison would have eaten as many lemons as I could give him, while Chris couldn't stop trying to wipe it off of his lips! It was awful for him! Then we tried Soy Sauce. Emma LOVED it!! Most of them were scared to try it, but once they tried it, most of them liked it. Ben tried to convince me that he tried it, but he wasn't going anywhere close to that stuff!! Finally, we tasted powdered sugar. Needless to say, they LOVED it!! Landen was the first to discover that the lemon wasn't so bad if you dipped it in sugar first. They all asked for more sugar, but I am not THAT crazy!! When it was all said and done, the sugar was the favorite of 10 kids, 3 liked lemons best, and 2 liked soy sauce best. Landen said they were all his favorite.
Finally, we had a wonderful afternoon celebrating Aashvi and Jahnvi's birthday. Everyone enjoyed Molly the Clown. The balloon swords were their favorite!!

This week, we will talk about friends and friendship. We will talk about how to be a friend, how to treat others, and how to choose friends wisely. We will also add our C Bible verse.

We have been invited to perform during the 11:00 service on Sunday at our church. This is for both classes. They will sing 2 songs during the service. I hope you will all plan to come on that day. Please let us know as soon as possible if your child will be able to perform. We will have a nursery as well as children's church available for siblings, and for the children after their performance.

Have a great week!!
