I hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend. This week we conclude the story of Noah. From the Read and Share Bible. This is the story your child heard today.
Genesis 7:12, 8:1-19, The Dove
After 40 days and 40 nights, the rain stopped, but it still wasn't time to get off the boat. Water was everywhere. One day Noah let a little dove fly out to see what was happening on the earth. It brought a green leaf back. Hooray! The plants were growing again! It was almost time to come out.
Genesis 8:18-22, 9:1-17, The Rainbow
When everyone was out of the boat, Noah built an altar. He thanked God for keeping them safe. Then something wonderful happened! God put a beautiful rainbow in the sky and made Noah a promise. "I will never flood the whole earth like that again," God said. When God makes a promise, He keeps it.

Time to play toys.
The magnetic board this week features things that are blue, red or orange. This child is playing with magnetic pieces that are pictures of blue, red and orange items. Example: a blueberry, a red car, and an orange shirt. There was a lot of conversation about the color of each item. Some students grouped the pictures by color. Others named the picture and told something about it. I planned this activity as a way to review the colors we've learned so far. I was pleased to see it also enriched their language and thinking skills.
Painting orange we are are learning how to use less paint by spreading it.
The class made a Halloween face on the pumpkin using stickers. These are the wax paper pumpkins we made last week when we squished red and yellow paint together to make the color orange.
Enjoying books after snack.
I colored a picture of Noah and the dove using colored pencils.
This child used a dabber to highlight the eyes, nose and mouth of the Jack-O- Lantern.
Stamping orange circles- small, medium and large circles.
We placed Halloween stickers on our orange paper.
Spreading glue.

Fun outside.
We enjoy the sensory table... touching/feeling, measuring, scooping, filling, pouring and picking off the kernels of corn. The class is in awe of the corn husk. 
Playing a Halloween matching game.
By using dabbers we made colorful rainbows.
Books I read to the class.
The children used a sponge, in the shape of a Jack-O-Lantern, dipped it in orange paint and stamped it 3 times to form this unique work of art.
This is a song we are learning.
This is another song we are learning.
We sang this song and substituted the words "at the zoo" for "on the ark". We named some animals on the ark, then vocalized the sounds these animals make.
We were busy today.
