October Topic: ‘What If?’ Week 2
Lesson Overview: Just for you!
This week we will continue to discussing the gift of imagination by
talking about our shadows. Unless the weather is especially lovely so
the children can go outside we will be going to the Surge Room for
active jumping to music and playing with flashlights.

this poem with your child in honor of the season
Candy
Corn!
White
is for the sins that Jesus washed away,
Orange
is for the new hope the Lord gives each day.
Yellow
is for His wisdom and words so sweet,
All
wrapped up in this candy corn treat!
And here
is another one …
Glowing with God’s Love (Poem)
Some
people take a pumpkin (arms circled in front)
Carve
mouth and eyes and nose
And
put inside a flashlight (hands together, moving back and forth in
front)
So
that their pumpkin glows
I
do not need a flashlight (shake head “no”)
Like
pumpkin faces do
My
glow starts deep inside me (fist on chest)
God’s
love comes straight to you! (point to the other person)
