Bible story:
Mark 1:11 And a voice came from heaven, "You are My Beloved Son; with You I am well pleased."
God Is Pleased
John the Baptist was a prophet who lived in the wilderness near Jerusalem. He ate grasshoppers and honey. His clothes were made of camel's hair, and he always wore a big leather belt. John was very wise. Many people came to hear him preach. He baptized them in the Jordan River. One day, Jesus came and asked John to baptize Him. John didn't want to because he knew who Jesus was and that He was Holy. "You should baptize me," he said to Jesus. But Jesus said it was right for John to baptize Him. So John baptized Jesus in the river. When Jesus rose out of the water, the sky opened and the Spirit of God, like a dove, came down to Him. at the same time, a voice from heaven said, "You are My own dear Son. I am very pleased with You." Jesus invites us to be baptized, too. In Baptism, Jesus washes away our sins and makes us God's children.

This is a look at our Monday/PJ Day for NLSW.
We explored the sensory table filled with beans, shells (Baptism, Bible story for the week), scoops, containers, and magnifying glasses.
The class used their imagination as they played with snowmen, letters, numbers and new this week, gingerbread people.
The children had an opportunity to try their hand at stringing large plastic buttons. They also were also asked to name the shape of each button.
The boys and girls used dabbers to fill in circles on a mitten. Their fine motor skills are greatly improving.
Our classmate brought in Weather Bird to help our Weather Frog dress for the weather. This Weather Bird was a gift from Great Grandpa.
We made a puppet of John, Jesus and the Dove (Holy Spirit). Perhaps, with some help, each child could retell the story at home.
We had an enjoyable day.
