One World, Many Stories

The library has great programs that enhance the Summer Reading Theme "One World, Many Stories."  This week, the children enjoyed several activities.  We started the week off with "Chicken Joe Combs the World."  This was a fun and interactive program where the children were introduced to the seven continents through song.
 The children got to participate by playing different instruments...
Corbyn sat with me but Chicken Joe saw him sitting in the audience and asked him to help teach the penquin dance from Antarctica...He was a great sport ;-)
 Eden played a song from China...
This week, the children also made Worry Dolls.  The cultural understanding of this Worry Dolls is that you make one, tell is all your worries, place it under your pillow, and then as you sleep the doll removes all your worries.  Of course, we do not place ours under our pillow to remove our worries because we know that the only One who can remove our worries and replace them with pure peace and comfort is the Lord God.
The children have some sweet friends who join them for several activities.  The girls enjoy Sage while Azaryah enjoys her cousin, Garrett...
 Sage and Garrett's grandmother helped the children wrap the dolls...
TADA...All finished!!
Thursday, the children attended and African Drumming Program...They had a blast and had the opporuntiy to play different instruments... 



So much fun!!!!!!!
