Rainbow Theme Week In Review

   We had a great week. He learned the colors of the Rainbow, reinforcing the colors he's learned. We used candy, fruit loops, coloring pages and books.
    We learned about Color Science trying to "Catch a Rainbow" and Make a Rainbow in a Jar.
    We made Rainbow Spaghetti and an awesome Melted Crayon ~ Piece of Art. Just Remember, ROY G BIV.

Truth Learned: The Rainbow and the Promise
“You see, I have set my rainbow in the sky. This will be the sign of the covenant I have made with you and all creatures, never again to destroy the earth by a flood. It will always remind us of the promise between you and me.” Gen. 9:11-17

So, the next time you see a rainbow, think of Noah and the flood. Remember that God loves you, and that no matter how bad the storm, there will always come a bright new day.

That is God's promise, and God always keeps his promises.
