Queen Esther - Mini Book - Easy Reader - Freebie!



It's time to start celebrating.  We have had a fun day making Purim baskets, hamantashen, and reading our new book. I wanted to share it with you all too - for FREE. Enjoy. (If you download it PLEASE leave your feedback - I would love to hear what you think:)

Chag Purim Sameach:)

I may have to start making more of these.  I am finding our Early Reader from MFW Bible does not include all the Bible stories:(  Which stories would you like to see more of?

Purim Sameach!!

This past weekend we celebrated Purim here in Panama with some friends.



Purim is a fun Jewish Holiday just like Hannukah. It is a celebration based on the book of Esther in the Bible during the time of the Medes and Persians about 500 years before Yeshua (Jesus). (Purim is usually in Feb. or March every year).

We had a wonderful time. We played lots of games; bean bag toss, musical chairs, hit our Haman Pinata, and had a costume contest! There were lots of prizes and yummy food for everyone.


This is a picture of everyone with their cast of characters on spoons for our Purim Readers Theater and play.

Here they are:  King Xerxes, Haman, Mordecai, Esther (Hadassah), Queen Vashti



Our huge Hamantashen cookies with brownie centers.  mmm- delicioso


Party Favors:)


Our Haman Pinata!  Boy, was this a blast!  Candy was flying everywhere & he lasted a really long time... everyone got a turn!  It was hilarious watching the kids diving for the candy:)


Another picture with the girls in their pretty Queen Esther style Dresses.  Each one had their own perception of what a Queen Esther should look like:)
Do you like the rain boots & butterfly wings?  She walked around feeling so pretty in her outfit!  So cute!

I used my Party Planner and I must say I was much more relaxed being organized!  I was able to sit
back and enjoy all the fun:)  If you are planning a party, I would definitely suggest using something to help you get organized.  It helps take away a lot of the stress and makes your party become more of what you envision it to be!  Just click on the picture to learn more about what is included in my Party Planner!

I hope & pray you have a wonderful Purim holiday season with your family & friends!
Purim Sameach!!!

Hall Pass ..Fun Word Families & Giveaways & stuff:)

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbR6n6fJjJnTv5-2hwlKrRd6EnzH_vJ2FBrKEJ-JHrWhM1am2OrT1HW84TkdiXI0AkuVcYKvgZ8Ar3JrSw9k-tpq_WuWljS_nTkBPtR_liEaFQukrgETTNQcpFgFsSib05xdLagrrVC7ij/s1600/Slide1.JPG
I'm joining a Linky Party today - Hall Pass -What a great idea!

 

Product-
 My favorite product of mine this week is...Fun Word Families! (  this one is kid inspired:)  It was their idea to turn them into hats and use keyboards to " type write"!  Oh, how I wish I was close to a Goodwill here where the keyboards and typewriters were $1...I would get them each a keyboard, typewriter, or word processor!  What a fun way to learn to read!


Area- 

Outside...I love Field Trips! I'm definitely a field trip teacher.   I think they learn the most outside seeing something new and inquiring about it:)

little fruit bat

cotton candy caterpillar

Signal-

Music...turn the music on & I've got every one's attention!  It always changes the tone of the day or the pace:)  Now to either get a tape player...I know they are outdated...or figure out how to get all those songs into a modern piece of equipment:)

Sanity-


Mommy day outs!  Alone, coffee, & shopping....so relaxing:)
