Each month, as we arrive at JAM Kids, we add two things to our sign chart.
One sticker is the story of the month.
The other sticker is a scripture that relates to the story.
Each child has a chart at the church,
and they each have been given a chart to take home.
An extra set of stickers goes home each month so that they can continue to add to their chart at home.
Parents can also talk about the scriptures with their children.
Our word for the day was "Listen" and this was written on the chart.
We will listen for God's voice.
We missed some of our regular JAM Kids this month.
There is lots of flu in the schools and in the town.
We decorated elephant banks for our craft.
Horton, the kind, lovable elephant, was the hero for November.
In this story, Horton serves as sort of a God figure,
one who listens and hears the voice of all.
He has keen ears and a big heart.
After our elephant banks were all decorated, we went into the other room
to listen to the story "Horton Hears a Who."
After a discussion about listening for God's voice, we had a group prayer
and then went downstairs for pizza, apples, grapes, and dessert.
Gym Time
Sound baffles are being installed in the gym,
so there was some large equipment at one end.
It was hard to play our favorite game, so the
big kids helped push the smaller ones around in the cars.
It was lots of fun!

Fun at Campfire
There were lots of elephant songs at campfire this month!
Parents are welcome to come and join the singing.
Next month, we will focus on the birth of Jesus.
