I am going to take a break from my lamenting to share something that gives me joy. I love getting to be creative in my job . I love delighting the kids with fun play activities and experience. I love being the one who gives them fun snacks. I love sharing the bible and songs with them in Worship. And I love reminding them that Jesus Loves them.
Here are some of the fun things I have helped create so far this summer. Just inside the entrance of our school I create a little photo spot. During the school year I changed it every 2 to 3 weeks. This summer with weekly themes, I redo it every Friday afternoon. We have completed four weeks of themes - Hollywood, Jungle, Under the Sea and Transportation. Coming up is Out of this World, Stars and Stripes, Super Heroes and All Star Athletes. In addition during July I will be facilitating Tie Dying for the whole school so the kids can dress in team tie dye for our annual Day School Dash during All Star Week! I am Loving it!
Hollywood Week
 |
| all kids made one to create our walk of fame. |
 |
| With the help of some staff kids we made 46 cars for our drive in movie |
 |
| For this I simply assembled leftover VBS props that the talented Jenny Burns made and I found in storage. |
 |
| I did buy more tape so the road lines were even! |
 |
| This was Jacks Garage - 1 of 5 parts to our Transportation Station. The kids had way more fun in there than I imagined |
 |
| The Day School airport was pretty popular. |
 |
| I have been eyeing this on Pinterest for years. One of our extremely talented teachers, Vita with the help of her family made this car wash a reality. Our kids drove the box cars which had been modified with handles and open bottoms. There was also an area for racing the cars. |
 |
| Vita and her family also made our school bus. Several kids and one teacher told me they rode the bus to the airport. |
A Big Shout out to my mom! I invited her to come see the Jungle at the end of it's run and she stayed to help me clean up. So guess who I invited to come see the Transportation Station Friday afternoon when it was time to break it down??? I am grateful for her help.
In anticipation of Out of this World, I put this together this afternoon.
A big shout out to Jade for talking on the phone with me while I cut and covered 8 panels for the space ship last night and to Kim who gave use of her hands while I taped them to the umbrella. And thanks to those people on Pinterest for the great idea and the measurements.
And thank you God for a job that gives me so much joy.
