God is Strong and Courageous

Play Dough

Play dough is fun and creative but it also develops fine motor skills, working those muscles needed to write. Play dough is a morning choice activity in our classroom.

 

Outdoor Fun

Another beautiful day for some fun in the sun on our environmental playground. Ask your child what he or she explored today?

Renesmae and Beckett do some digging. I love how they are working together!

We have some beautiful wild flowers blooming in the garden.

Ava balances on the board.

Chapel

Mrs. Helmkamp led chapel in the Commons today. We sang our Theme Song of the Year: Be Strong and Courageous. Click on this link and view a video of the artist singing the song. Her name is Jennie Williamson and she is a Lutheran musician who has visited Zion in the past. Mrs. Helmkamp told us how God is like a rope, ready to help pull us up when we need him. All we have to do is look up for help, and He is there.

Harrison took up our offering and also carried our class cross to worship. The children did a fantastic job decorating it! Everyone in our class added square tiles to the mosaic design. We were the only class who had our classroom cross at worship today! Way to go class!

Color Mixing

I had the opportunity to work with a few more students at the teacher table with color mixing. Once everyone has been introduced to the activity it will become a free choice activity.

Reading Together

This class loves to read together! I captured a few photos of them reading in groups or by themselves! Visiting the library with your child and checking out some new books might be a fun thing to do together on this extended weekend.
