Morning Work

Several new Play Invitations:
a way to invite children to play with 
everyday materials or materials
around them in different ways.
The sand, sticks, stripes of paper....







Caroline is the artist of the week...

Ella and Caroline have the routine down.... they know exactly what to do

as they come into the classroom.... way to go girls!
Caroline signing in...
Caroline really enjoyed making letters with

 the sticks and stripes of paper
Great job, Caroline!

You may have noticed that all the letters I am introducing right now

are made from LINES.... Big lines and Little lines!!
We will work through all the letters with lines
before introducing curves!


Ella chose to color first

Second Steps:  I asked the children if they remembered things they could do to help them

focus when someone is talking......


                                        Brody showing me his ATTENT-A-SCOPE

Aiden is showing me his ATTENT-A-SCOPE

Tristan and Ella showing their ATTENT-A_SCOPES..
Great remembering.........
In this card we looked closely at the picture. The girl in the picture is following

the teachers directions of cleaning up. She is reminding herself of the directions by self talking....... as she cleans she repeats the directions.... it is time to put the blocks away, it is time to put the blocks away.....


We practice a few directions that we could SELF TALK
clean up then come sit on the carpet
or
hang up your back pack, put your things in your cubby then wash your hands.....


Time for yoga

We didn't have a yoga instructor so I asked Aiden
to led us because he came in today and told me that
he has yoga poses on his TV at home.....

He chose the Tree Pose for us today
Mrs Haun came to visit.... Look at her Tree Pose!!!!
Great Tree Poses!!!



Aiden following along with the invocation.... great job!
JESUS TIME

This week we will learn about SIN. First I read the story about 

Adam and Eve...... then the children noticed a snake on the next page SO I went ahead 

and introduced SIN....
Sin is a tricky concept and I want to introduce it carefully....
We read about the snake and how the snake tricked Eve
into eating the fruit from the forbidden tree and then giving it to Adam.
How this was the first SIN. 
We talked about how everyone sins
but that God loves each of us SO
much that he sent His son Jesus
to save us all from sin!




So after we found the cicada wing the children have developed an interest

with INSECTS.... Mrs Haun brought us a (dead) Cicada in a jar.

The children were SO interested in it!!

They passed around the jar and wing








OUTSIDE TIME









MORE BUGS>>A rolly polly...

We decided to put him in the bushes and it fell straight into the mulch


STORY TIME

Tristan was excited to have the job of sit by the teacher....

Brody helped by being the librarian 
Ella was SO excited to do the weather.....


Claire likes to be prayer leader


Caroline chose snack manager

A couple friends decided to relax after eating snack

it was so nice outside...they just laid on their towels while everyone

We are going to learn a little about Tress.... parts of the tree and what trees 
look like during each season......

cute song we listened to today


then we looked at pictures of SUMMER TREES

I asked a few children to come up to the smart board and point

to the different parts of the tree...



Then we walked outside and got to see up close and touch a real tree.....


When then drew our observations







CENTER TIME:













Everyone working together to clean up




 At the last part of our day, we got a surprise from another teacher who heard 

our class is interested an NSECTS. She brought us a HUGE grasshopper!!!


WOW! How cool!!!  We are going to try to keep it alive... immediately the children had tons of questions and were thinking of names.........





It is SO SO BIG!!!!
