9-10A

Jesus Time Day 3/4 of Creation- 1. God made it.  2. It was Good.

Day 3/4
God was busy. He made puddles, rivers, oceans and waterfalls. He made dry ground too. Next He made trees, flowers and bushes. God said His work was good. On the 4th day God placed the sun, moon and stars in the sky. All that He made was good.

Hopefully your child will be able to discuss parts of this story with you. I hope this edited version will aid in that discussion.

The children used crayons, markers or colored pencils to color Day 3/4 in their booklet.

Color- The color for Sept. is Red. Activities available for exploration: sorting red and blue disc to matching containers, finding red apples in the classroom, painting with red paint and finding red items in the bag.

Shape- The color for the month of Sept. is Octagon. Activities included learning characteristics of an octagon, tracing a template of an octagon, and attaching a small octagon to a large octagon.

Number- This month the number is 2.  Activities to foster learning this week are; holding up 2 fingers, counting to 2, stamping #2, and placing 2 apples on the number 2 page.

Fine Motor- learning to use crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue and picking up small items with our thumb and forefinger

Large Motor- running, jumping skipping, hopping, riding on scooters and in coupes, hopping on balls and walking on a balance beam

Music- ABC song Spaghetti Sauce is Red, It's an Octagon, God Created

Literacy Skills- These activities centered on using our words to describe or share an event/activity with classmates. Students also enjoyed books on their own and loved having stories read to them.


We explored many new concepts today. Take a peek and find out what we did.

Looking at books.

Playing on the slide builds our muscles and our coordination.

We placed red chips in the red bowl and blue chips in the blue bowl.




We looked at this poster and discussed how our Jesus Times is like our time in church.

We sang the song God created for days 1-4.

Playing with toys is fun.

We took turns pulling red items out of the bag. We named these items and told  how we use them.

This the book I read to the class.

This is the poster that I used with the class to compare church worship to Jesus time.

Weather frog is dressed for a rainy day. We talked about the importance of each item (umbrella, raincoat, rain boots).

We placed small red octagons on a large octagon.


Due to the rain, we held recess in the gym.

We looked at a poster of a PDO classroom and compared it to our classroom. This was a good activity to stimulate thinking and verbalization skills.


This is a close up of the PDO room poster.

We talked about what we did this summer. Some classmates did go on a punic and others went to the zoo or on a vacation.

These two posters were used to foster discussions on similarities and differences in art and snack/lunch time as depicted in the posters compared to our classroom.
