JCA DAY 46 PUMPKIN DAY!

Look at this wonderful pumpkin CAKE!!!
Not only is it TOO CUTE........It was DELICIOUS!
Brayden's mom made this for us!

Girls in their costumes....... BEAUTIFUL!
Super Girl, a kitty cat, A & M cheerleader, a holstein cow, and an angel!
Boys in their costumes......
Batman, the hulk, ninja turtle, cowboy, and a super hero!
We filled our day with pumpkin activities.
We started with two pumpkins.......we measured the circumference of each pumpkin.....
we weighed each pumpkin.....
Then, we cleaned all the icky pulp and seeds out of both pumpkins.
The girls had one pumpkin and the boys had the other one.
Next, we counted the seeds in each pumpkin:
Girls' pumpkin had 360 seeds.....
Boys' pumpkin had 376 seeds.
Then we cooked them and..........ATE them!
Ms. Corrina carved a pumpkin for us and explained.....
how the gunk on the inside of the pumpkin is a lot like the sin that is in our lives.
We invite Jesus in, He cleans us up, and puts his light on the inside of us.....
just like this pumpkin!

We took a small pumpkin and a larger pumpkin to the water trough to see if they would sink or float.
We threw in the little pumpkin, and........
It FLOATED!!!
We threw in the large pumpkin.......
And.....IT FLOATED, TOO!!!!!!

Next, we all had little baby pumpkins......
and we decorated them!
We heard rumors that Pastor Ty used the little pumpkins for "Pumpkin Olympics" during noon recess!!!

He did do a little carving for us.....
This one is regurgitating actually..........
This is a HUGE pumpkin.....

The HUGE pumpkin ATE the little pumpkin!!!!!!
It's clever......you have to admit!!!!

We had frito pie for lunch, with drinks, the pumpkin cake, and then later we had gummy worm cupcakes and punch along with goodie bags to take home!
It was a truly incredibly fun day!!!

JCA Day 44 Hot Apple Cider

"H" is for HOT apple cider!
Some liked it........some did not. Hannah M. said she did not like it cooked! HeHe
We also made mud! Someone forgot to take pictures of it! (that would be me).....
The mud was actually chocolate pudding with crushed up oreos (sand, rock) to represent the mud that Jesus put on the blind man's eyes. We made our pudding and ate it while we retold the story of Jesus healing the blind man with mud made from Jesus' spit.
Jesus is our healer!


In social studies today, we continued working on our capital city books that we are slowly, but surely putting together. Our capital city is Washington, D. C.
We have discussed the White House, Jefferson Memorial.........
Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol Building, and today the Washington Monument.
Our booklets are going to be really cool when we finish!

More fun at centers!
Beginning sounds.....
Vowel sounds.....
Number order........
COMPUTER time!!!!!!

"H" also stands for Homemade Hot Rolls!!!
Tristan's mom treated us to these rolls.......
And they were delicious!!!!!

"H" also stands for the Healing ministry of Jesus. Today we discussed the man who had been blind since birth........He wanted to be healed, so Jesus spit in the dirt, made mud, and put it on his eyes. Jesus, then, told him to go wash in the pool of Siloam. The man obeyed Jesus, and he was healed. He could see!!!

Did you know we are adding numbers???????
WOW!
