HAPPY FRIDAY


TODAY WE STARTED USING 
OUR JOB CHART!!

Jobs are important for so many reason:
sense of responsibility
foster a sense of community(classroom family)
learn to make choices
and problem solving

a job

Otto and Dominic choosing a job

Lots of play doh
friends....


The children LOVE to make me
"spicy" pizza
with the play doh...
actually they love to trick me
πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
they tell me it is just cheese or pepperoni
and when I take a "bite" then they say
it is spicy!! Or has chili peppers....

INVOCATION...

I made a chart using friends pictures
from the week on
how to say and do the
invocation

No one choice
invocation leader
so  we practiced together


we sang 

Read Read Read the bible

God wants us to know

that it is a special book

and he loves us so!!

The bible is special because ALL the 
stories in it are ALL TRUE!!
( non fiction)
We talked about what this years
theme verse
(from the bible)
is
Jesus is the
Truth
The Way
and the Life
( John 14:6)

we learned the song
(I will email the link to
the song so you can sing at home too)

Today's helpers are:


Charlie was a door holder

JJ was our other door holder


Camden was gate keeper
Friends






Camden selling lemonade

Levi ordered
Pink Lemonade
Camden asked if that was 
strawberry
😁😁
He sold me lemonade for
$5 



We did get a little muddy and totally my
fault for not asking children
to change into their boots 

I forgot how much it rained
last night


Abidaan was our
librarian



Story he chose

Since today we talked about how
when we read from the bible
ALL the stories are true(non fiction)
I aske dth echildren
if they thought this story was 
true (non fiction)
or pretend (Fiction)

We then talked about
why is was not true...
animals don't talk
animals don't go to school
trucks don't talk

But we also talked about how it is fun
to read pretend stories sometimes....


Audrey was our weather helper


sunny

Xander was our
prayer leader


We are learning how to show respect 
when we pray
Fold our hands
bow our heads
and close our eyes..

Then we do ECHO PRAYER

I love to watch the
children pray


Dominic was snack manager

Snack manager calls the children to
snack....can be a tough job BUT a great 
one to help learn names....
Dominic pointed and I helped
him with the names

Pouring our own drinks
teaches independence
and develops deeper sense of responsibility--
and the children tend to drink
better when he/she pours it 
his/her self!!


snack

Emmy was our Teacher Assistant
We learned what the teacher assistant
will do BUT since we haven't started our
letters yet--there was nothing to point to yet

Next week
 Teacher Assistant will
have something to point to and
call on friends to ask what letter it is

Part of building a school community/
school family is to talk about how we treat our families
and each other

2 important things we try to remember
(on our to treat our family/each other in class)
Be Kind(safe)
Show God's Love

Plus we also created a list of ideas
for what our class family name should be this year:

The list below
are the children's ideas SO far!!

we will VOTE once everyone has
a chance to share their idea


CENTER TIME






I had a few more friends to get 
1st week of school name sample



























Maisie was our superintendent

Eleanor was our
Yoga Instructor

TREE POSE!!



Levi was exercise leader

Toe Touches

Toe Touches is one of the
more difficult exercises because the
children have to stand up straight
reach one hand in the air
then cross over their bodies
to touch their toes!!!

Some are ready for crossing the mid line
and other just bent straight down
and touched their toes!

Great practice to find activities to 
reinforce crossing
the mid line

PRAYER REQUESTS


we had a few extra minutes so
we practice all the
different YOGA POSES






Surfer


SKI POSTURE

DOWNWARD DOG


OWL Posture
 


Kennedy was line leader and 
chose the good bye rhyme
