Sang

Read Read Read the bible.....

More with creation

Going on a CREATION HUNT

throughout the classroom....

I hid pictures of different

things God created

Asked each child to

find one and bring it

back to the carpet

Then each child showed

what they found and had to tell us

on what day GOD created it!!

Then they put

it on top of 

that day story card!

YOGA 

OWL POSE

The we talked about our class family

and what we wanted to name our class 

family

I took all the suggestions from last week 

and put them

in these containers.......

The children painted these

wooden people and I put

their picture on it

Today we used them to vote......

Each container had one of the names that

the children came up with

we don't know which name is

going to win yet--- more friends need to vote 

next week

Voting:

Voting teaches children SO much

making choices....... making a chose can be hard sometimes.

some of the children knew exactly what name they

wanted and others just stood there trying to decided.

I want to reinforce with the children that 

they can chose what THEY want and whatever chose they make is OK

no right or wrong answer

Voting also gives the children a sense of

independence and ownership

We also learn about 

MORE and LESS...

Which bowl had MORE wooden people?

Which bowl has less?

We practiced counting

and we also learn about

it is OK if what you voted for

doesn't get chosen.

Disappointment can be a hard emotion and

we want the children to know that

sometimes we do feel disappointment we just need to

 learn how to handle that emotion

Lining up to play outside

Prayer Requests

We had about 7 mins before we needed to

line up SO I taught

the children a new game

whenever you can find a way to rhyme

with you child--- the better....

Each one of these houses has a letter

on it....... then I ask the children to close 

their eyes and I hide TRICKY MOUSE

under one of the houses......

Then I tell the children they can look

I say my part of the rhyme

Tricky Mouse, Tricky Mouse

Where is your house?

Then the children answer with a rhyme

Tricky Mouse, Tricky Mouse

are you in the _(guess a letter_) house?

THEY LOVE

LOVE this game!!!

Fly High, Butterfly
