For Thursday of National Lutheran Schools week

we get to dress up however the class decides

Today we talked about different idea 

and came up with 2 to vote from

Princess/Super Hero or Sports......

And the winner is........ Princess/Super Hero

Claire was the invocation leader

Today we learned about one of the many miracles

Jesus performed. Today was about Jairus' daughter

When there was a happy part to the story

I held up the HOORAY picture

and when there was a sad part

I held up the OH NO picture

We also talked about the difference between 

magic and a miracle

I was impressed a few of my friends from last

year remembered the difference

Magic is pretend and the person is trying to

make you believe something that isn't real

and a miracle is

REAL

And only Jesus has the power to 

perform miracles

Ella chose downward dog for the yoga pose today

FOR NATIONAL LUTHERAN SCHOOLS WEEK

we will have a few extra special surprises

Today was an activity brought to us from 

LEAPS AND BOUNDS

Leaps and Bounds talked to us about how sometimes our bodies

move to FAST or too SLOW and during those times it may be hard to

concentrate and learn

and other times our bodies are moving just right

and it is easier to learn and listen during those times

SECOND STEPS

We talked about the feeling of being FRUSTRATED

the children shared stories of when

they may have felt frustrated or many

liked to share stories of someone they knew

who seemed frustrated to them

TOO RAINY for outside time

Story Time

Ella was weather helper today

Teagan was prayer leader today

Carly was snack manager

SNACK... we are trying snack at the tables for a bit

probably until spring and we can eat outside again

After the kiddos finish snack, they can clean up

and go read a book

So friends (or siblings) from last year

really enjoyed the class book

So fun seeing themselves or

friends from last year

SHOW AND SHARE

Brody's turn for show and share

So fun and fun watching the children really enjoy this

part of their day

MYSTERY BAG

the clues are

quilt, queen and quail

then i got out 2 big curves and one little

line and told the class that is what

parts were needed to make our letter

this week

Brody and a few others said, " I know what it is!"

Brody came over and made it for us..

Then the class gave me a few Q words to write on our letter chart

CENTER TIME

Many of the children have beenTALKING

a lot about dinosaurs

so i brought a few in for them

to explore and check out

ART PROJECT: Crayon Resist with salt painting

First I just told the children to draw with the white

crayon on the white piece of paper

of course most said, "I can't see anything"

I told them to be patient and

what to see what happens

After they were done drawing

the children painted over the

crayon with liquid watercolors

Soo cool.. the crayon "RESISTS" the liquid

and then you can see what you drew

I also brought in a dinosaur mountain... definitely a favorite

everyone wanted a chance to play here

A few friends brought in a stuffed animal for jammie day 

and the children were able to pray with them 

THEN

we had MUSIC AND MOVEMENT...

we listen to music and played along with

our instruments

They absolutely loved it!!!!!
