These are some of the children who come to our"3's" class each Tuesday morning. It's the morning of Women's Bible study over at Calvary Church and these are the children of the women who either teach a small group or attend on every Tuesday morning. I get to be one of three adult helpers/teachers in this room. We three ladies have divided up the tasks evenly between us and each get a turn to teach the story, do the arts and crafts, lead in worship songs, etc. I've grown to really love Tuesday mornings.
Some of these same children are in my preschool class on Sunday mornings, so I'm getting to know them rather well.
My favorite thing, naturally, is to sit at the art table and draw, color, use stencils, or watercolor paints. Three-year-olds are amazing artists.
Look at their precious little faces!
We've been talking for weeks and weeks about creation and how God is the Creator of everything we see! I just love teaching about that. But the last two weeks, we've been talking about thanking God for the good things He has given us. Today, the children picked out some pictures of things they were thankful for and glued them to our poster board that said, "Thank you, God!" Three-year-olds understand what it means to be happy they have food and toys and moms and dads ... and I love to sit down and just enjoy a good conversation with them. Sometimes they say the sweetest things.
This little girl is very quiet. It's pretty difficult to get her to enter into activities or conversations ... but hand her a paint brush and she just goes to town! She is very careful with the paint and covers every INCH of the paper in the most beautiful color combinations!
Even the little roughhouse boys get into painting ... they are mostly intrigued at what color the water turns when they rinse their brushes in the water cup, but that's OK! Just thought I'd share these little faces with you today ... I'm so thankful to be able to share a little bit of time and fun with them. :)
