Crossing the River Jordan

This week we are learning about the Hebrews Crossing the Jordan River. This is such an AMAZING story. God stops the Jordan River from flowing...allowing the Hebrews to safely cross on dry ground. For a visual this week I am using my paper dolls from makingfriends.com and home made "Ark of the Covenant." I made my Jordan River out of yellow and blue poster board. It is a simple thing to make and has such a great effect.






The children will be making a stand up picture of the Hebrews crossing over the Jordan.










Our Memory Verse comes from Joshua 3:17...of course we will have a song to sing with this Memory Verse. I love putting Memory Verses to a tune...It make them easier to memorize.









On Wednesday Evening the children will be making this picture of the Jordan River...they will color the front and then add the "water" behind the picture. The water is a metallic tissue paper I found at the local Dollar Tree...it was in the gift wrapping area.










We will be playing a review game called "Crossing the Jordan." However, at this time I do not have a picture to post. It is basically the "Take Home" activity and a game board..the children will answer questions for an opportunity to move the Hebrews across the Jordan. I will post a picture as soon as possible.

Tabernacle

The Wednesday Evening review of the Tabernacle Lesson will be loads of fun.

The class will revisit the model of the Tabernacle, play the Tabernacle review game, and say their Memory Verse in order to receive their sticker for their Explorer Backpack.







The Explorer Journal Activity is a Tabernacle Lift-A-Flap activity. The students will stick on the Tabernacle furnishings under the correct flap.

Building the Tabernacle

The newest lesson we learned was all about the Tabernacle. We learned that God commanded the Hebrews to build the Tabernacle and the Hebrews happily obeyed. They were so happy to help that they brought offerings to Moses for the building of the Tabernacle. They brought sooo much that Moses had to tell them to stop bringing their offerings.





The Children liked this lesson...we talked about all the furnishings that went into the Tabernacle...and then talked about the rooms of the Tabernacle. We talked about the outer court, the coverings, and the attendants for the Tabernacle... (the Levites.)





We also, learned how the cloud rested above the Most HOLY Place. And when it moved, the Hebrews knew it was time to move.





The Take home activity was a coloring page of the Tabernacle with a FIRE sticker and cotton Pillar of Cloud.










The children LOVED the MODEL of the Tabernacle....we really enjoyed looking at all the items that went in the Tabernacle.








The review game was printed Tabernacle furnishings that were velcroed to a board laid out to resemble the layout of the Tabernacle. The children placed them in the right place after answering a question.










Our Memory Verse card...we sang this Memory Verse to the tune, "Oh Come all ye faithful.."
