our attendance helper today

We had 2 friends (plus Mrs Koenen

not at school today)

Mrs Koenen is traveling this week

Ben was our

invocation leader

This will be our 

Jesus Time Story

Zippy joined us today

Zippy came to school feeling

mad.sad, frustrated.

We talked to him about why he was feeling this way and he told

us he felt this way because his sister

got s special gift from their grandparents

and Zippy didn't get anything!

Zippy felt like his sister was acting 

like she was MORE special than he is...

This made Zippy feeling all sorts of different ways...

we went around the circle and everyone

shared how he/she would feel if his/her

brother/sister got something special and he/she

did not!!

The children did a great job sharing.

I reminded Zippy that sometime he might get

something special that his siter does't get and no matter what he

is always special. We talked about the ONE person

who always thinks each one of us is 

special no matter what!!

GOD!! God has called each one of us

to be a part of HIS special family and we are always

special to HIM!!

Than we read the story about 

Joseph and his colorful coat.......

Charleigh volunteered to

be our YOGA Instructor

SMALL GROUP

1st group got to choose between

a few centers

2nd group got to

play UNO with Mrs Drury

(our sub and Ella's mom)

😊😊💜💜

3rd group got to do a

Science Experiment with me

SINK or FLOAT

we started with one item at a time

Candy Corn

we talked about things that are

heavy than the water

will SINK

if it is lighter (or filled with air)

it will FLOAT

Each child got to make a prediction (guess)

and mark their sheets

then we dropped the candy corn in

Everyone had

their own cups to see what would happen

Then we marked the results......

We also tested marshmallow

a Leaf

then a marble

The children LOVED this

and were so excited to see what 

would happen

Center Time

I put the fire truck/house  away and

brought something NEW

The children also said they wanted to learn

more about animals...

so I have this animal (doll) house

with a school house and camping.

This class also loves to play school,

so I thought they would enjoy the school

house stuff included with these animals

PLUS, several children expressed interested in 

MONSTER TRUCKS, so I brought this book about 

Monster Trucks as well as several 

Monster trucks!!!

trains was also a popular area

This group LOVED the 

monster trucks!

Maisie was our

superintendent

Lincoln volunteered to be our

exercise leader

running in place

PRAYER REQUESTS

We had time for 

Tricky Mouse

Sometimes the children get disappointment if I 

don't choose them to guess...

SOMETIMES friends guess where 

TRICKY MOUSE is before everyone

gets a turn.

this is hard but also one of the most important

parts of playing a game....

learning to be disappointed when the game

doesn't go your way and learning about turn taking

and that you might just have to wait until the next time(we ran out of time) we play

to get a turn ( I let the children know we can

play again tomorrow)

Austin chose

Time to Bail, Snail!
