5-5 WEEK OF THE YOUNG CHILD

Bible Story:
Long ago there lived a woman named Dorcas. She heard about Jesus and how he died on the cross to forgive her sins. Dorcas knew that she would live in heaven someday with Jesus. She loved Jesus very much. Dorcas knew Jesus had done something special for her and she wanted to do special things for other people to show her love for Jesus. In the town where Dorcas lived, many people were very poor. Sometimes the people didn't have enough food to eat. Sometimes the clothes they wore had holes in them. Dorcas showed her love for Jesus by giving the people good food to eat. She showed her love for Jesus by giving the people new clothes. The people in the town knew that Dorcas loved Jesus. They were thankful for their friend Dorcas, who learned from Jesus to be kind.

Prayer:
Dear Jesus,
Help us to show Your love by being helpers and giving Your good gifts to others.
Amen

Children will learn:
To be helpers and share God's good gifts with other people.

Songs:

Dorcas was a Helper (Did You Ever See a Lassie)

Dorcas was a helper, a helper, a helper
Dorcas was a helper,
She loved everyone.

She loved them and helped them.
She loved them and helped them.
Dorcas was a helper,
She loved everyone.

I can be a helper, And love everyone.

I'll love them and help them.
I can be a helper,
And love everyone.

The children pinned clothes pins to the outfits.

We finished our ABC books.


We stimulated our imaginations by playing with our classroom toys.

Using markers, we colored a picture of our Bible story.

The boys and girls pointed to the numbers as I called them out.

I used the Weather Frog clothes as visuals. I held up the clothing and the PDO friends put their heads together to decide what kind of weather calls for this type of clothing.

Recess.

We enjoyed the freeze pops on the hillside.



This was the last day for our lobby display.

We reviewed these word cards.

The sensory table is filled with potting soil, spoons, cups for planting, and artificial flowers. The children were very proud of their gardening skills.

We practiced our manners all day after reading this book.



God gives us good things, The bright colors really grabbed the attention of the class.


The children rolled the number cube, counted the dots and stated the number.

We tossed bean bags in the laundry basket.



The boys and girls painted rainbow animals of their choice.

Using markers, the class colored the Bible story handout.



Weather Frog would be dressed for a summer day in this outfit.







We tossed bean bags in the laundry basket.

The girls and boys examined various types of materials. They used their words to the describe the feel of the fabric. The used their eyes to name the color of the cloth.





We used a dabber to color the circles inside the diamond.











These are a few of the puzzles cards, used today, to help the students review the shapes we've studied this year.




How does the fabric feel? What does it look like?


Enjoying books.





This concludes our day of learning on Tuesday.
