MORNING WORK
Sometimes it is interesting
to just put items out and
see what the children will do...
These colorful boards
beads
tweezers
Lyla enjoyed exploring these
items.....
MODELING CLAY
Modeling Clay can be
a challenge to "MOLD"
at first BUT I told
the children the more you
work it the easier it will becoming
Also I told them that playing
with modeling clay with strengthen
their finger to make writing and cut easier!!

tweezers are great for
fine motor and
hand eye coordination
SO excited to find a match!!

Attendance Helper...

12 friends here
No one chose Invocation Leader
SO I had a few volunteers
JESUS TIME
Zippy came to school today
He talked about going Apple Picking
and how his grandpa helped him
reach apples that
were too high! Even though Zippy was
a little scared to climb on the ladder---his grandpa promised
to not let go!! Zippy trusted his grandpa.
Which reminded me of our bible story...
Several times the people TRUSTED
GOD--last week NOAH
(Noah trusted God)
this week Abraham
God asked Abraham to move to a new land
God promised Abraham that all the land
would be his and that he would have more descendants
than stars in the sky!!

LISTENING
I reminded the children about
our coloring mixing
science experiment from last week.....
everyone got to add a scoop of rice
then I added
rubbing alcohol
and food coloring
then each friend got to help
SHAKE the rice...
Some of the rice we made
we just used the primary colors alone
BUT if we wanted to have ever
color in the rainbow
we need to blend primary colors
to make secondary!!
SO I asked what they
thought we needed to make orange....
