HAPPY THURSDAY

TODAY WAS A 1ST DAY FOR SOME

OF OUR FRIENDS......

Yesterday we learned a little 

about jobs

So I was teaching the children that after

they put their snack/water/folder in their cubby, sign in, wash hands 

THEY THEN come pick a JOB!!

Feels like a lot of steps BUT

the children learn it quickly!!

Before we pray I remind the kids that we are 

talking to GOD

and need to be respectful!

Fold or hands

Bow our heads

SNACK

Learning to pour

from a pitcher...

After snack we sat on the carpet and talked about

FAMILIES.

What are some ways we treat our family at home

USE KIND WORDS
LISTEN TO EACH OTHER

HELP EACH OTHER

I told the children we are a family at school too!!

And that we could think of a class name

and that we should treat our school family like our family at home

I gave a couple examples--- last year we were class STITCHY

and the year before we were the ZION LIONS

SO LOTS and LOTS gave types of animals as 

a class family name suggestion.......

CENTER TIME:

1st day photos....

Many friends were interested in art

today... and they wanted to use our special

shelf filled with loose parts

to make creations.

To use our loose parts for art

children get a tray and bring it to one of the teachers and we fill

their tray with the loose parts they choose

ART-- so fun to create with LOOSE PARTS

( loose parts are random items--- small trinkets, glittery

items, sequins, buttons, etc)

Time for exercise

She chose sit ups

PRAYER REQUESTS

Everyday we work on how to pray...

We take pray requests throughout

center time

teaching the children

the HELP ME part of a prayer

During end of day pray, I begin with a prayer and I include each child's 

HELP ME prayer then we end with each child saying a THANK YOU JESUS

 part of the prayer!

ANd then end with a group

we love you Jesus!
