This week, the Upper Grammar kids studied two things that historically have been very important to the Jewish people--the Passover Supper and the design and significance of the Tabernacle. The kids made models of the Tabernacle out of cardstock. Then, they enjoyed some unleavened bread while Pastor Neil Pitchel taught about the importance and symbolism of the Passover meal and answered the kids' thoughtful questions. The Lower Grammar boys joined the Upper Grammar class for the discussion with Pastor Neil as well and they all loved the unleavened bread! Then they made three-dimensional maps of the Israelites camp in the wilderness. They learned that God gave the Israelites very specific instructions as to how to set up their camp--with the 12 tribes arranged around the Tabernacle. In the Five in a Row class, the kids read "Blueberries for Sal." It's the story of a little girl, Sal and a little bear who both lose their mothers while eating blueberries. And, they almost end up with each other's mother! The little ones then learned all about the color blue! They made beautiful collages out of beads, ribbons, buttons and paint--all in the color blue!
