for us today!!

the words from last year


Jesus Time

Jesus says
COME TO ME

We read this story and talked about
how we are all 
CHOSEN CHILDREN OF GOD

We are CHOSEN to 
be a part of this 
SCHOOL FAMILY

All week we have been talking about
ways we can HELP
take care of our SCHOOL FAMILY


The children came up with more ideas
today......


Foster was
our 
YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Downward Dog


The jobs your children chose today.....

Ben was a door holder

Emmy was a door holder


Luke was the Line Leader

Oliver was the 
Gate Keeper


I brought out colored chalk


Definitely a popular chose







Oliver made this dinosaur

but admittedly-- I don't know

my dinosaur names and already

forgot what he told me

Arwen and Maisie colored
together for a long time

Kennedy made herself

and her sister, Teagan


Mack and Ella 
hanging out
walking around the play ground




Arwen, Charlotte and Cecilia

playing together



EARTHQUAKE DRILL TODAY


I asked the children if they knew what an earthquake was

A few did----- and said it is when the
whole world shakes!!!

I pray it is never whole world 
BUT 
the town or area we
live in might start shaking....


The children were all very interested in this
and then I told them we had
to do something to protect
our heads and bodies
SO WE GOT UNDER THE TABLES.....


we stay under the table until
the shaking stops 






THEN we line up
on the stops signs



then leave the classroom
(we did not practice walking outside as 
it was so hot and we just came in)


STORY TIME


This was a silly book but
has a good message
of learning how to handle
disappointment

That we don't alway get what we
want and that is OK
you get what you get and don't throw a fit

Charlotte was our
librarian



Lucas the

weather helper


Mack was the prayer leader
Lincoln was our
snack manger



After snack we go to the carpet
for HWT
(Handwriting without Tears)


I start with the ABC song

then our Teacher Assistant
ARWEN
points to the letters
and calls on friends
who raise their hand to tell the
class what letter it is


Then we watched a few short
PODCAST
to give us some ideas of
more L words



Then we added the L words to our chart


CENTER TIME

Since Dramatic Play
was getting an
overwhelming number of friends
who wanted to play here
we put a limited on how many
friends can be there at one time

4 friends at a time

This way there is room and friends have an 
opportunity to play with the
items they want

I don't think it will stay this way
it was just too many
for the friends to be able to enjoy
this center




Emmy and Kennedy
enjoy the 
manipulative center










trains



Ellie was our
superintendent

Maisie our
exercise leader

ARM CIRCLES

Look at those 
ARM CIRCLES


MUSIC

I introduced the
musical instruments

Showed everyone how to
play each one

we also talked
about what our story time
book taught us...
You get what you get and don't throw a fit......





Kindyrock is a great YOUTUBE
video for preschool
musical instruments










SO MUCH FUN!!!

We did it twice
we put all the
instruments back in
the middle and then
got to chose again---
so more friends had an opportunity to
get the instrument
they really wanted

as you can guess
the Xylophone is always the
one everyone
wants!!


PRAY REQUESTS


Luke was our line
leader and chose
To your house, mouse
for our good bye rhyme
