HAPPY HARVEST PARTY!

What a fun day! What a cast of characters...Bob the Builder (a.k.a Nicholas), Fancy Nancy (Emma), Lady Bug (Ava), Buzz Lightyear (Max), Minnie Mouse (Kaleigh), Rapunzel (Jillian), Giraffe (Nolan), Fireman (Ty) and Strawberry Shortcake (Brooklyn). Here are get well wishes to Alex and Cam. We missed you!

We had a lesson on the letter Ee, made an elephant from different shapes, read stories, learned about the number 7 , had an "elephant parade", sang songs and heard a story titled "The Pumpkin Patch Parable"....and that was all before our Harvest Party! It was complete with special snacks, games and prizes!

Thanks to EVERYONE who helped with the party. We sure appreciate you!

Dancing, Drums, Ducks, Dress-up and Dinosaurs

"Dd" week was a fun week. We danced, dug for dinosaurs in the sand table and drummed with all kinds of drums. Here's our Kaleigh playing with dinosaurs.
On Thursday, Emma, Cam and Brooklyn played with ducks in the water table. Don't they look serious?! Something across the room got their attention!

Dress-up was a hit. Ava, Jillian and Max dressed up and then played the Lucky Duck game.

Catching up on C's

Since I got a little behind on my blogging, I figured it is time to catch up! Here's a picture of Ty, Cam, Alex and Max Creating a Colossal Castle during "Cc" week. Here are Emma, Nicholas and Kaleigh counting with cards and playing the Cootie game during center time.

Bad Blogger!

Sorry I've been so bad about blogging the last couple weeks. Been busy, busy! Also... left my camera in my granddaughter's stroller. I have some great pictures to share soon!

Coat of Many Colors

Miss Dawn is leading our Bible and singing time this week. She told us a great Bible story about Joseph and the coat of many colors. Thanks Miss Dawn!

Cows, Cookies, Caterpillars and Cocoons

You guessed it! This week we are learning about the letter C. We are emphasizing the hard C sound. You may have heard your student sing our "Letter Sound" song. It is to the tune of "Farmer in the Dell". It goes like this..."C says kuh. C says kuh. Every letter makes a sound. C says kuh." We have some great singers in our class!

On Tuesday, we Climbed up Sunshine Mountain, Crawled like Crabs, Caterpillars and Crocodiles, played with Castles, Cars and the Cow and Cookie game. We also Clapped like a Copy Cat.

Our story for the day was The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made a caterpillar of circles. Thursday promises activities with clowns and cotton balls!

Nolan knows....

...his Bible memory verse! Galatians 5:22-23 is a long verse too! He has it down perfectly. I'm very impressed. He actually has had to help me a couple times!

Learning can be messy

Our class practiced making letters, numbers and shapes...not on paper (how boring!)...in shaving cream! Look at Cam and Brooklyn concentrate. Good job! By the way, thanks Miss Georgeanna for helping get us all cleaned up afterward.

B is for binoculars, bonnet, battery and beans

This week we learned about the letter B. Tuesday, we read Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? and made our own book to read. Our class also painted a B then folded the paper to make it a butterfly! Beautiful! Today we painted 4 blue birds on a letter B.

Each week we get to choose something from the "What is it" bag. Here's a picture of some of the B things we found. Nicholas has a bow. Nolan found a battery in the bag and Jillian's holding a baby basketball. Ty picked a bottle out of the bag. Alex got a bag of beans. Brooklyn was beautiful in the bonnet. That's Cam behind the binoculars. Kaleigh is almost in the picture with a blue Bible and Emma is holding a bib. It was fun.

To Infinity and beyond!

Since we learned about the letter A and the number 3, our art project today was an astronaut in space. We worked on following directions and made our picture in a certain order. Each child's astronaut floated in space with 3 stars, 3 spaceship stickers and 1 yellow moon. They did a great job! I just love it when they are proud of their work. They discuss whether their picture will be hung in their room or on the refrigerator. Too cute.

Here's a picture of our munchkins after a full morning of school, all packed and ready to go home! Adorable.

This Little Light of Mine

Today during Bible time, we sang "This Little Light of Mine". It's one of their favorites.

The B-I-B-L-E. Bible!
