Oliver constructing....

Bria coloring

Colton coloring...

So a little bit of a story

Yesterday I read a book called RED

about a crayon named RED but drew BLUE

 Colton asked for a pink 

colored pencil and I opened a new box and choice

one based on looking at just the tip of

the pencil... it looked PINK.... but when I pulled it

out the outside of it was BROWN.

Bria and Colton really thought this

was FUNNY. Bria brought up the book from

yesterday and then they told others

when they came over to color!!

These are moments of teaching

I can't even plan for... so much conversation, 

recalling of yesterday's story and

"theories" on why the person who

made the colored pencils would do that!!

It was SO great!!

Lots of friends checking out the 

colored pencils and coloring

Oliver was invocation

leader

We reviewed the story

of the boy with 2 fish and 5 loaves

feed 5, 000 

2nd Steps

Louis and Rosetta were playing

and Rosetta got hurt. So Louis comforted

her and then when she still said she

was hurt he went and got a teacher.

We then practiced with each other...

One friend pretending to get

hurt and then the other

asking if he/she is OK

then we talked about all the ways

 we can comfort

someone who is hurt:

talk softly

get a band aid

ask if they are ok

get a teacher

COMMONS

CENTER TIME

The last few days I have challenged the

children to chose a different center(then they 

 normally go to and then don't try others).

I tell them they can go back to the one that is their

favorite BUT I want them try something 

new first.......

 we have a few things we

are finishing up....

Colton suggested making

a wreath to help

decorate for our party

Addie thought that was a GREAT idea

and joined in.....

So we started with green construction paper

and lots of random valentines

stickers and ribbons

After they completed their 

wreaths...we hung them up

Love this idea!!

Bria was proud of the

way she wrapped up her baby

Decorating a heart for our

party

Colton, Carson and Mason

are using magnetic blocks that

are curved and created a

great SPINNER...... Everyone has 

loved doing this all year......

only negative... the magnetics are

 just made from plastic and I am

afraid it will crack if it hits too many hard things.....

So I challenged these boys to find

something they can build

that will keep the

SPINNERS from going all

around the room......

They LOVED this challenge......

This "course" as they called it...

was fine for the small spinner but

they found it was too small

 for the BIGGER SPINNER....

They made some adjustments.....

Then they decided Mason was the 

judge and others would spin... Mason would give

them points....

Lincoln has been enjoying these

plastic animals...

Others joined in.....

Isaac was our

superintendent

Carson was our

yoga instructor

downward dog

Colton was our

exercise leader

SQUATS

Colton said, " because these are

 the easiest for Mason

Prayer Requests

To Your House, mouse!
