Morning Work

Step 2 of our 

Collaborative Art Project

Sort misc. items

into ALL the colors of the rainbow

For those who were not here yesterday

Step 1 was

painting craft sticks

ALL the colors of the rainbow

Collaborative Art projects are

beneficial for many reasons but one main one

is building a sense of community

we are all ONE class and work together

to create something

Claire playing with the

magnetic lines and

marbles

LOTS of great

sorting

Play Doh

Roman checking out

the magnets

Nora coloring

And then working with

legos

Winston trying

the snap plastic

lines

Then on to magnets

Lincoln was our

Attendance Helper today

3 friends NOT at school today

13 friends AT school

Hazel was our

invocation leader

We sang our song about the bible

(tune of Row, Row, Row your boat)

READ READ READ

THE BIBLE

GOD WANTS US TO KNOW

THAT IT IS A SPECIAL BOOK

AND HE LOVES US SO!

Then I asked the children

questions about the bible story we have been

 learning about this week.

They did an AMAZING

job retelling the story of NOAH!!!

I then asked the children if they remember why

God flooded the entire earth

And they did!!

They said because all the people were being

bad and not listening to God

Only Noah(and his family) was listening.

Everyone also remembered

about the rainbow

God always keeps His promises!!

We then talked about how God wants us

to be like Noah

and listen to HIM and 

be kind to others.

I told them at school we are like a family

who helps each other and 

is kind to one another

we are a 

 School/Class Family

I then said we need to name our 

class family....

Lots of ideas

Tomorrow friends will

also have a chance to 

give ideas and then we will VOTE

I also showed them the kindness chart

and talked about ways we 

can be kind to one another

and then when we are kind we can put our

name on the kindness chart

And as part of a family/

"class family"

each morning we will pledge

to be kind by saying

I WILL BE KIND TODAY!

We will take a special cross 

rock and put it into

a box and say

I WILL BE KIND TODAY

I got a picture of each

child doing it today

OUTSIDE

With her broken arm, Nora

and her mom go for a walk during

outside time

Today they found 

a bird's egg shell

The children are super interested

in it!!

when we were on the carpet

near backpack Roman

remembered his offering

for chapel tomorrow!

Today's story

Hmm, Cows are real and rain is real

but after reading a few pages the

class decided the story

is FICTION

Since the children are so interested in

the bird's egg shell

Mrs Koenen

was googling 

bird'segg shells

From this picture

The Cardinal 

eggs look the closest...

We will continue to do 

some 

investigating to see if 

we have identified it correctly

Roman was our

weather helper

A RAINBOW

kind of day

Claire was our 

prayer leader......

ABC prayer

Bria was 

snack manager

SNACK

Today I read this Book

Full of Letter E

words!!!

which helped the

children name some

E words

Keep brainstorming at home

and we will see if your child remembers to

share tomorrow at school

Mrs Koenen found

Ben and Luke's chapel

offering

So we had them put it in the offering

bucket

CENTER TIME

Lots of friends were

interested in

playing with 

Noah's Ark

Winston has been wanting to

play with the work bench

since morning work time

we found a bug

so we picked it up and

let it go outside

Another step to the collaborative 

Art project 

cutting small piece of 

paper and sorting them

making sure we have

all the colors of the

rainbow

A few letter assessments

today...

I will post 

on SeeSaw soon!

Carson and Mason

were making a REALLY

LONG line of magnetic

lines

Carson proud

of his long line!

Nora asked me to take

a picture of

her

Then another picture of her

with her baby and carrot

Mason counting 

Carson's LONG line!!!!

It was over 90

(magnetic)lines long

Mason volunteered to be our

superintendent

Charleigh was our

yoga instructor

DOWNWARD DOG

Mason was our

exercise leader

SQUATS

I found a video on 

YOUTUBE of a Cardinal

Baby hatching from its shell

After watching the video we are not

super sure

if our shell it is a cardinal or not!!!

https://youtu.be/oGgwfMu0q6M

Also it is a LIVE video and as soon as 

the baby is nearly done hatching the

mama bird comes over and we see 

her help get rest of shell off the baby

and then she eats the shell!!

Interesting fact none of us

were prepared for, your children may talk about it.

I looked it up after school and the mama eats

the shell to regain nutrients after

laying eggs!

The children were fascinated 

watching the video

PRAYER REQUETS

NORA WAS LINE LEADER
