Children’s Choir

Last Sunday at children’s choir, we had pajama night.  It was really fun to see everyone in their jammies and slippers….even Daddy participated!  They played a cool game where Mrs. Gina came them some string and would get them an instruction to make something…such as make an animal that was on Noah’s ark.  It was neat to see what the kids came up with and how they made them with the string.

Last night, we had our children’s choir Christmas concert.  Since last spring, our Music Minister and our Children’s Choir Director have resigned.  So children’s choir got put on a back burner until November.  Mrs. Gina, our pastor’s wife, took over.  They were originally scheduled to perform the 2nd Sunday in December, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we had to move it up to yesterday.  The kids only had 5 weeks to prepare and they did a great job!

Thanksgiving Celebration

Last Thursday, we had our 2nd annual Homeschool Thanksgiving celebration. I think the total head count was 97 people…who said homeschoolers are not socialized? 


Gathering to pray before we start

The children rotated to 6 different stations: Thanksgiving info, butter making, turkey necklace, oreo turkey/indian headband, pumpkin cleanout/thanksgiving tree/Thanksgiving stamps & stencils, and picture frame.

Thanksgiving info – Mrs. Micki read them a Thanksgiving story and even did an indian corn craft with them!

Making butter – Mrs. Starr showed them how to make butter with heavy whipping cream.  She also explained how she makes bread from wheat she grinds.  Afterwards, they got to try some homemade bread with the butter they made.  Yum!
