Today was our leadership day with grade 7. On our last day in each school we will have loads of fun with our kids with grade 7 being our helpers. We divide into teams to prepare a Bible story, craft and an outside activity for 3 different grade levels. We will have 3-4 helpers from grade 7 in each group. This is the day we get to know them and teach them the activity we have planned. Our goal is to pour into them as they are about to be the oldest students in the school.
BOMANI:
One of our boys was given some money to purchase something for the children in Kenya. He decided to bring them something that is very popular in America: a fidget spinner. The kids learned about the physics behind the spinners and what they are used for. He had the opportunity to give them to all 6 - 8 grade students. They loved it!
VIPINGO:
