picture.....

everyone had a chance to look at it up close..

Ellie was 

attendance helper

1 friend NOT at school today

JJ was invocation leader

Before I got started with

Jesus time I asked the children to look at this picture

and tell me what they thought the story was 

going to be about......

A few thought it would be

about Joseph and ALL is brothers

I thought that was an excellent guess by looking at the picture..

then many friends shared parts of that story 

that they remembered...

I was impressed since that

was in the beginning of the year

Zippy came to help with

Jesus time

Zippy was excited but also a little nervous

He was getting ready to go camping with his family

but while camping they were going to fishing.

He was nervous about fishing because he had never fished before ..

We talked to Zippy about being nervous

and how we all feel that way sometimes...

Also that he won't be alone--his

 family will be there with him and to help him

It is a LOT like Jesus

He is always with us

Never leaves us alone

and today's story

talked about some FISHERMEN

Jesus gathered 12 people to 

be his Disciples---

to become 

FISHERS OF MEN

Spreading the word of GOD

Today's helpers

First we took a little walk to deliver some special

National Lutheran Schools weeks

presents... then we played in the commons

SCOOTERS

Back in our classroom....

while we had story time the 

children could get out their

stuffed animals/blankets

Simon was our

librarian

Our story for today

SNACK

Camden was teacher assistant

MYSTERY BAG

CLUES>>>

Camden wanted to show us the letter...

First he thought O

O is 2 big curves...

BUT then I reminded him of the sound

our words make and then he immediately

tried again....

S!!!

S is a little challenging to make 

with the wooden pieces...

A good start of

S words....

SOME more thoughts and ideas

for our party planning

AND BRAINSTORMING

what we already know about the 

ARCTIC OR ARCTIC ANIMALS...

What we want to know

Building an igloo for our

class......

we started with some white paper

cut out rectangles

JJ and Jacob still needed to vote

for our party name....

ALL the names with love in it

 are the winner

Mrs Cooper's class winning name is

HEART

SO we are going to talk to the classes over next

2 days... vote or maybe

even combine the 2 names together

then we glued our rectangles 

on a box.....

LOTS OF WORK

on the IGLOO

Also we did an ALL school art project

EVERY student in our whole school

will color one of these

footprints that says

I WILL WALK WITH JESUS

we used watercolor colored 

pencils...

we were super busy

friends could also

play in the centers

Arctic animals and 

"snow" for our sensory table

Hanging out in our igloo

Jacob was our

superintendent 

Ella volunteered to be

our exercise leader

run in place

Maise was our

yoga instructor

Surfer Pose

Prayer Request

SAD TRUMPET

This cute trumpet makes a 

womp womp sound....

we introduced this today

I talked about how we all feel

frustrated or disappointed sometimes...

When we feel this way we might want to stomp or make mean faces...

We tried out the sad trumpet

when you push down on it--it makes

a womp womp sound...

I told the children they can ask for the womp womp if they

ever feel sad, mad, frustrated, disappointed, etc...

It is hard to stay feeling this way when you hear this sound

I then told the children they can then take a few

 deep breaths and then move on...

I gave everyone a chance to use

it today..

Until then, Penguin
