I hope every family had a wonderful weekend and was fed and nourished by God's word at church this weekend.
It is so exciting to see your child grow in God's word, explore/learn new concepts and begin friendships here in PDO. The boys and girls are taking turns, waiting patiently, sharing with others, listening to teachers/other students and beginning to follow directions. Their socialization skills are developing!
This week for Jesus Time we will learn about Day 5&6. We will continue working in our Creation Book. We will also color a boy and girl to remind us that God made each of us.
Day 5 and 6 The Creation story continues:
On the 5th day, God made the birds in the sky and the fish in the oceans. On the 6th day God made the animals and man. God created Adam and Eve. God looked at everything He made and said it was GOOD!
We will make art work for our class board; increasing our understanding of the color RED, number 2, and the shape of OCTAGON. The children will have time to use a red dabber making dots around an octagon. Student will be able to tear crepe paper and glue it onto an apple cut out. We will increase number recognition by painting a #2 red and adding 2 teddy bears to the worksheet.
The boys and girls will develop their understanding of the terms "In Front" and Behind while we play a Simon Says Game.
Books and singing the ABC song, along with talking about letters and words will foster interest in the letters of the Alphabet.
Small motor skills will grow as the children use crayons, markers, dabbers and paint brushes. In addition they may fine tune their skills as they place spaghetti in spice jar holes, and while they play with toys.
Large motor skill activities will include: the balance beam, tunnels, huts, dancing and playing outside. We will also practice marching when I hold up an octagon, and learn to hop when I hold up a square. This activity also helps the children recognize the name of our first two shapes. Another game will be Stop Sign/Green Light where stop means quiet/still and green means move around and get LOUD.
Songs will be song as students request their favorite ones as well as Spaghetti Sauce is Red (we'll name things that can be red), God Created, God is So Good, and It's an Octagon.
We will also explore Apples: parts of apples where and how they grow and make apple stampings.
This is how we spent the day.
Tomatoes from our garden. Yum, they tasted good.
It's challenging to place spaghetti in the holes of the spice jar.
Fun with cars!
Enjoying toys!

I made a design using octagons.
It is fun to walk the beam.
We took time out of our schedule to watch a landscaper spread straw over the grass seed. We touched the straw. We talked about why he was putting down straw. We also discussed why he was wearing woe boots.
God looked at his creation and said IT WAS GOOD!
