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!!

We asked Ms Angie to come by our room

so we could sing to her

and surprise her with flowers

ABC Sounds songs

Ella was our teacher assistant

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....

red and yellow

fun to watch the color change

right in front of us...

what will happen now

Blue and yellow....
