Group 1
Drama  -   The students are acting out popular children’s stories.
Adventure Activities - How are we going to get to the other side of lava? We have ten people and only 5  special rocks. Working as a team students will try to get their whole team to the other side stepping only on paper.
ART - The students will be adding the 'mystery media' to the funny self-portraits they made yesterday. They will use watercolor paint and straws to 'blow' their hair out! Each class will also be able to take home their painted clay plates today.
GAMES Today in games and movements ( 7-10 ) the class was introduced to the game capture the flag. 
Music  On Wednesday and Thursday we will be learning two important truths from the songs Little by Little (growing in Christ after salvation), and Stretchin' the Truth (the dangers of lying).

Group 2
Music  Today we discussed both regular and irregular meter. The students learned to identify meter aurally ranging from obvious ones to unclear irregular ones.
GAMES –   
 In class, we will be playing Cat in the Corner. In this game, there will be 2-3 kids starting the game as catchers and the rest will be the cats. The catchers will have to try to toss the ball to the kids in the cats group, while the cats try to run to a different safe zone than the one they started in. If the kid is tagged, they also become a catcher until there are only 2 people left. 
DRAMA - Today the children will put the finishing touches on their skits. They will then rehearse their plays in preparation for their performances on Thursday. 
Adventure Activities Today, the kids were split into two groups and played a game where they used popsicle sticks to build a tower. The team that built the tallest one won the game and got points for their team. Then we played a marble relay race. The kids had to pick up a marble with chopsticks and bring it back to the other side of the room without the marble falling onto the floor. It was difficult for some of them but they liked playing the game. 
ART – The children heard the story of Jesus – God’s wonderful gift to us.  To actually own a gift, one must RECEIVE it.  The children are making gift boxes for their parents.
