New Morning Work

to start the new year!!!

We have learned ALL the letters that

are only formed

with lines.....

so we had a few activities to

review LINES!!!

Line Magnets

and Lines

that fit together

like a puzzle

And then this week we will

learn about 

Epiphany

So LOTS of

star activities

And PLAY DOH

the children love the play doh

rolling it out and putting

small rocks

in to decorate.......

great for developing little muscles

and it is also challenging

to take the 

rocks back out of the play doh!

Charleigh chose play doh

first

Luke went to the 

puzzle lines

Addie and Bria are

coloring

Lincoln chose to 

sort the stars first

Ben chose to make a 

picture with stars and other shapes

Claire come over to help

sort stars

SO much fun!!

Everyone came in and got

right to morning work!!

Roman checking out the

line magnets

Look at the cool picture

Ben made

Winston is using the

line puzzle pieces

Morning Meeting

and many friends remembered

to make their 

Class Pledge

I will be Kind today!

Bria was our

attendance helper

1 friend NOT at school

15 friends AT school

SECOND STEPS

We took a close look at this picture

we talked about some things

that are the same about these girls

The children said:

both have helmets

both have same color hair

both on a red bike

both wearing a jacket

the children came up with

a really great list!!!

Then I asked them to use their

ATTENT-A-SCOPES

and look again....

now tell me what is different

IMMEDIATELY the children noticed the looks on the girls faces

ONE is HAPPY

ONE is SCARED

We talked about how people can feel differently 

about the same activity...

one person may LOVE to go fast

and someone else may be SCARED to go fast!!!

I told the children to try to pay attention to their friends faces

when playing a game....

the game may be fun for you BUT not

your friend..

it is important to remember friends

may feel differently

about the same activity!!

OUTSIDE

Brrrr... today was SO much colder

than yesterday!!!

We spent less than 10 mins

 outside(many friends were cold)

Then we went to chapel

Pastor Rouland led chapel and had

his puppet Rupert

to help

we learned more about

Epiphany

Look at this beautiful star in

our church

Claire was our

offering helper

Hazel got a baptismal 

remembrance button today!

Story Time

More about the 

beautiful star the wisemen followed

to find Jesus

Luke was weather helper

Winston was prayer leader

Colton was

snack manager 

After snack we did

MYSTERY BAG

we reviewed all the letters

made just from lines

each child got to pull

a letter card from

the mystery bag

told us what it was

and then match it to the

correct letter on the mat

CENTER TIME

I think the children really missed school

and their friends.....

I did 

scissor assessments....

a more challenging assessment...

cutting out a star...

everyone got a turn today...

WOW!!! Look at this cool ramp

Roman and Ben having SO much

fun together

Luke, Mason and Carson

spent a lot of time with the

ramps

Hazel was our

superintendent

Claire our 

Yoga Instructor

Ski Pose

Mason was exercise leader

I suggested he chose a different

exercise...

So he went for running in place

PRAYER REQUESTS

and Invocation Leader

(we did invocation at the end of the

day because we had chapel and

didn't do Jesus Time)

I talked to the class about a prayer requests 

VS listing ALL the things we are thankful for......

This is a tough concept and I am so

proud of ANY prayer REQUESTS

the children have..... and I will always write whatever they say

But truly a great job today!!!!
