 We had an excellent day of learning. Blessed to serve these children. I hope your children can add some words about their day. They may need a little prompting.

Even though this is certainly a digital world we live in, a good book in our hands is priceless.

 Gross motor skills develop coordination, keeps us physically fit and gets our body and mind ready for quieter activities.

Dramatic play enhances our social skills, develops our sense of self and gives us experiences in life skills.

 A keyboard allows us to role play and helps us recognize letters and numbers.

 Children love to express themselves; art is one way to show feels and emotions.

 The class is strengthening muscles of the hand and fingers by threading heart shaped pony beads on a pipe cleaner.

Valentine craft. Learning about placement of objects while experiencing various textures.

 Today the class colored a picture relating to the Bible story, Jesus Loves the Children and he loves us too.

 Recognizing colors while matching hearts.

 Taking turns, sharing, spatial awareness and building our knowledge of the season of winter as they build a winter scene.

 Book of the day.

 Two versions of the Bible story was shared with the boys and girls.

It was a Commons recess today since our playground was muddy.

 Matching numerals 1-7.

 Heart Art. The students put paint, marbles and a paper heart it the box. They moved the box back and forth allowing the marbles to roll over the paper.

 Finished product.

 Bean bag heart toss is a fun way to work on hand - eye coordination.

 Jesus songs, the Bible story, Valentine songs and Jim Gill music was available for the children to view.

 Thanks for checking out the blog; blessings on your evening.
