Bricks, October, 2007

Making bricks!  Fun!!

As part of their Bible class curriculum, the 3rd graders eagerly jumped at the chance to make bricks--mud and straw bricks.  Just as the Israelite slaves did for several hundred years, Mrs. Kramer's students learned that brick-making is hard work and takes time.  The bricks are also dirty and not real solid.   With a better understanding of why the Israelites were pleading for a deliverer from Egypt, they were all grateful for the opportunity to find a career someday other than brick-making.  Thank you, God!

We need water to mix with mud and straw!Mixing water, dirt, and straw!

I have the straw to make bricks with!Fun making bricks!  Many bricks!

                     Here we are with our bricks!  I think we will work hard in school, so we can find a different career though!
