Second Steps..

Louis, our puppet

was having his first day of school and

he was nervous

We talked about what

we(as a class family) can do when we

see a new friend (or any friend) 

having a hard time

*Smile

*come over and say hi

*introduce ourselves

*ask the (new) friend

to join you

we then each practiced introducing

ourselves to

Louis

It was so sweet to watch the

children introduce themselves

Today's helpers:

Selling Lemonade....

but I asked for hot cocoa

because it was chilly outside

it was drizzling a little

bit.....

then it started drizzling a little harder

SO we went inside and ran in

the commons for about 5 mins before having 

to leave for chapel in the church

Sitting in our pews

each class has assigned pews

Mrs Helmkamp

Pastor Rouland led

chapel

Pastor Rouland brought his

friend, Rupert.

Rupert LOVES to come

to our chapels and

talk to us about all sorts of things.

Today he talked to us about his

favorite parts about coming to 

Zion Lutheran School

We get to learn about God everyday

and we know that God is with us

no matter where we are and no

 matter what we are doing

We had a couple of minutes to learn

a new game...

MYSTERY BALL

How to Play:

I set out 12 bowls with numbers written on the front

Ask the children to close and cover their eyes

(no peeking)

Then I hide a bean bag(ball)

After it is hidden, I ask the children

to sit up and raise their

hands...

I call on children to make a guess

if it is incorrect--- I give clues....

For example, I will say the ball is under

a bowl with a number

SMALLER than 6...

Then the ball is under a bowl with a 

number BIGGER than 1

This cgame encourages SO many skills

*listening

*cooperation

*turn taking

*number recognition

*understanding of

BIGGER/ SMALLER

They absolutely LOVE this!!!
