Even though we are small.... we understand what friendship and acceptance means. We all want to fit in and play with each other, regardless of what we like or wear or think or believe. So.... we spent some time learning about the work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It was not a true "social studies" lesson because we are small,,, but we did talk about what it really means to be a friend and to share God's love. So we made some totally delicious fruit salad!!! A strawberry, banana and orange taste yummy on their own... but when you mix them all together it is like a tasty fruit party. Kinda like friends.... you can have fun on your own but it goes crazy when you spend time with others.
We also finished our totally cute snowfriends... Each one looked totally different... but underneath it all they were really.... "snowmen." The children were amazed that they all started out looking exactly the same, but once we added our own individual touch they looked completely different. Just another awesome & cool thing God does by making us special and different in His own image.
It was a wonderful day with us doing what we always do best... working and learning together in God's love. Thank you Dr. King for teaching us to do what we should always do.... to accept each other and to get along - regardless of hair color, skin color, favorite football team..... whatever! Happy Dr. King Day!!!!
