11-21

This week Rm A is learning about the gift of CHURCH. We started Jesus Time with a review. I was impressed to witness the recall of blessings from my class. Wk 1-family, home, furnishings, pets and toys. Wk 2 -food. This week we are thankful for the gift of faith- Church, Pastors, Hymnals, Bible, Music, and Our Church Family. The book I used is Things I See In Church. It shows various pictures of the inside of a church. I will make available some of the pictures from the book throughout the week. I talked to the class about our church Zion. I showed them a photo of our church and also a picture of our pastors.

We enjoyed various activities in our room today. These activities were used to reinforce the concepts of the month: brown, cross, 4, Fall, and Thanksgiving. Due to the cold weather and an event in the Commons our recess was held in Rm B.

Activities:
Leaf painting
Cornucopia painting
Creating a Native American headband with 4 feathers
Book Time
Learning and talking about the change in the weather
Completing our Thanksgiving aprons
Using markers to color a Thankful book
Telling each other what we are thankful for/coloring a picture

"Thank Him"
Thank Him, thank Him, all ye little children,
    God is love, God is love;
Thank Him, thank Him, all ye little children,
    God is love, God is love.
( I take requests from the class as to what we are thankful for)

FRIDAY WAS A FUN DAY;

We are thankful for church.

Needle and yarn.... With these tools the class put the threaded needle in one hole and pulled it through the other side.



Time for toys.



A-B-A patterning: Pilgrim/Native American/Pilgrim.


Fall leaf stamping.






The class used markers to color the Pilgrim vests which were cut from paper bags.


These are the books that I read to the class.

After reading this book we found brown in the class room.

We had a lot of fun playing with our friends. It was wonderful to enjoy time outside.



Enjoy the weekend.
