Last week was all about VBS. Because I was the director over the preschool I was kept hopping all week. Our VBS this year was called Power Lab. As you can guess it was all about science. To start off the week the kids made these Brainie Boppers to get their brains geared up for thinking and exploring. This one craft was the most requested one in all the age groups including the adults. It was officially done by the K - 2nd grade but several people went to Ms Nora at the end of the day asking for extra supplies to make one of their own. I proudly wore mine all week.
Joshua came from South Carolina to visit and participate in VBS. Grace came for Wednesday and Thursday. Even though she is in a younger grade than Sam she joined Sam's group and had a blast. At night my living room floor was wall to wall children. I had Grace, Sam, Josh, and Kathryn. The giggle fest that went on before bed was fun and frustrating. But in their defence they got up each morning with a smile and no fussing.
Kathryn also invited her friend Grace who came on Tuesday and Thursday.
Tuesday our story was about Jesus and Peter walking on the water, so this day our activites focused on sink and float activities. The children added baking soda to water and dropped in rice. as the bubbles attached to the rice it made the rice "dance" in the water.
In the preschool we filled a wading pool with bubble solution and had the children stand on a brick. Then we enclosed them in a bubble. We did this on Monday but it was so popular that we kept it up all week and the bubble solution only got stronger the longer we let it sit there.

Joshua is putting water into a test tube. They then aded several other ingredients and made lava lamps. Some of the other experiements they did was coloring a carnation, wave bottles, ooblek, germinating seeds, and goop were just a few. This was a very hands on week at VBS.
WE also added Mentos to diet coke and watched it go boom. Kathryn won a prize for bringing a friend to VBS and one of the things in her bag was her own coke and mentos experiment to do at home. She and daddy will be doing it soon. I will post the resulting boom.
Our mission project was to restock the food pantry for the needy. The fifth grade won with 150 cans of food and the 1st grade came in second with 120. All together we had 149 children and they brought in a combined total of about 500 cans of food and other non parishables. This was one of the most fun VBS's I have ever participated in. It was so cool to watch the children to understand the connection between science and God's Awesome Power.
