Our Bible story from Genesis 6, (Children's Bible):
Many years later there were lots of people on earth, but most of them were bad. One man-Noah-was good. He obeyed God, "I want you to build a boat," God told Noah. Noah started right away. People laughed at Noah because they lived in a desert and there was no water for his boat. Noah just went on building his boat.
This week we will continue with the color, shape and number for the month of September. We will attempt to find the color red in our room and octagons as well. We will look at our bodies and try to decide if we have 2 hands, 2 ears, or 2 mouths etc. Finally, the students will be asked to look for objects that are in front of another object or behind another object. The children will have an opportunity to explore new centers: chalk board, magnetic board, and the arks. As a class we will search for arks hidden around the room. The children love to paint so there will be several painting projects such as: painting an animal, Noah's tools, apple stamping and rain drop stamping. The class will spend some time out of doors playing with the toys and sensory table filled with sand. The boys and girls may work animals puzzles, enjoy looking at books individually or with a buddy. Additionally students may play with seasonal magnets on the magnetic board, get creative with chalk on the chalk board easel, lace animal cards, match and pattern apples, make a 1, 2, 3 Rain drop book and touch "rain drops" made out of various materials; telling how the material feels. This is a fun sensory activity. As a group we will act out the story of Noah; making all the sounds of the tools he might have used. Lastly we will cut open an apple an examine the inside.
I hope everyone had a wonderful and refreshing weekend. Blessings on the week that is ahead of us.
This is what we did today.
This week we started the Bible story about Noah. We took a close look at how God chose Noah to do a "BIG THING"- building the ark. God helps us do big/ important things even though we a little.
The story.
This is our cooperative poster from last week about Creation.
Our puzzle time focussed on various types of animals.
Of course, the ARKS were a favorite choice during play time.
Today the children had a few new centers to choose from and the easel with chalk was one of them.
Another new center was the magnetic board with Fall items. The class got very creative as they arranged the Fall magnets on the board.
We stamped 1, 2, and 3 raindrops in our mini Rain Drop book.
The boys and girls also had an opportunity to touch and feel "rain drops" with different types of material attached to them. Silk, cotton balls, burlap, sand paper, were just a few of the textures.
Matching apples to a pattern.
The class painted some of the tools Noah might have used while building the ark.
Jesus Time board.
This is the BIG book I used to tell the entire story of Noah and the ark.
One page from the book.
Snack time.
Enjoying books.
Ring Around the Rosie.
We painted animals that were on the ark.
Time outside.
We talked about the different colors of apples. We looked at red, green and yellow apples. I cut the red apple in half and we looked at the inside. We saw lots of seeds.
Next, we put a fork in the apple and made apple prints.
Lacing cards proved challenging.
As a class, we colored with markers, a picture of Noah building the ark.
We Had Fun In PDO!
