Chasing Vowels: JSB: Week 8 - God to the Rescue! and God Makes a Way

I combined the stories of Moses and the plagues (pgs. 84-91) and the parting of the Red Sea (pgs.92-99) into one week. If you would like to break these two up I have it set up fairly easy to do that.

We had two verses this week. They were:

"Let my people go!" and "The people of Israel went on dry land, with walls of water on their left and right." Exodus 14:22

The songs we sang were: Trust and Obey and All the Way my Savior Leads Me. I am sure many know All the Way either from Rich Mullins or Chris Tomlin. Another song is great in telling the story of the Israel escaping out of Egypt is Passover Us by Andrew Peterson:

Well, we all remember Moses on the banks of the river
He said "Pharaoh, you've got to let my people go.
You don't want me to have to tell you this ten times over--
Denial ain't just a river, you know"

And we all remember Pharaoh, he just wouldn't do it
So the plagues they came upon Egypt one by one
His heart was hard and the other nine just couldn't move it
So the last was the worst: the death of the firstborn son

But the Lord, he gave to Moses a word for the people
He said their firstborn sons would live to see another day
"Put the blood of a lamb on the doorway and death will pass right over"
That night all of the children of Israel prayed,

CHORUS
"Lord, let your judgment Passover us
Lord, let your love hover near
Don't let your sweet mercy Passover us
Let this blood cover over us here"

So the years went by and the people they whined and they wandered
And only sacrifice atoned for the sins of the land
So you see the priest he placed upon the holy altar
The body of a spotless lamb
And he prayed,

CHORUS

For our math time we ordered the events of the plagues. It was a little hard to find some pictures that worked for preschoolers but I think they work in the end. Here are the Plague Cards we used for the activity pictured below.

E putting the plague of flies in the fourth spot.

For our art project time we decided to make frogs. We cut out circles for the body. I cut out four green strips for each girl to make the limbs. I then cut out two red strips for a tongue. The girls did an accordion fold for the limbs and tongue. For the parting of the red sea we put two pieces of blue paper on each side of a brown and then the girls drew fish and sea animals into the water.
