JESUS TIME

I asked the children to tell me what they 

remember about this week's bible story

from looking at the pictures below

then anyone who wanted

some bandages.. got to wrap

themselves

we spent some time talking about

how back in Jesus' day if

someone got a disease called

LEPROSY

they would have go live somewhere

away from their families

Leprosy caused sores to develop all

over your body

we used the words from our curriculum 

book to "act" or "retell" the story

After Jesus healed the 10 men

only 1 came back to show praise and say

THANK YOU

As a class we talked about how important it is to

show praise EVERYDAY to God!!

WE can thank God for waking up everyday

for the food we eat

for the houses we live in....

BUT we should also say THANK YOU to our 

parents and families each day

Then we talked about ways we can say thank you at school...

I told the class that there are people who

work hard at night after we leave to keep our room

clean...

Then the children decided to make

 a THANK YOU card

and everyone signed their names

Our helpers...

outside time

we are loving the beautiful weather

Otto was librarian

Dominic was weather helper

Abidaan was prayer leader

Kennedy was

snack manager

SNACK

Before Handwriting without Tears time

we

sing the ABC (usually a phonic based one)

Today Mrs Koenen shared

 one that also teaches the sounds each

letter makes...

here is the YouTube link

so you can listen and sing along at home

https://youtu.be/U3S3OX6HQm4?si=WqrnLIxW2MuulA64

It is interactive in the sense that

the singer sings a line

then the children repeat...

cute how quickly the class caught on

and sang along...

Aavya was teacher assistant 

WOW!! So many P words

Then we played a letter game

Mrs Koenen had recently learned

I wrote ALL the curve letters we have learned

so far on an orange piece

of paper

then mixed them up

then held one up above my eyes

BUT I wasn't allowe dto look at it---

The children could only tell me the sound

that letter makes...

That did SO

great!!

CENTER TIME

Lyla and Eleanor wanted to 

paint at the art easel
