Thursday

Letter of the Day: Hh

Today we started the day with Play-doh!
I find that it is a fun way
to strengthen fine motor skills
compare and contrast different colors,
make 'real' shapes and funny ones too,
and practice the alphabet!


I have all 26 letters of the Play-doh alphabet molds.
It is always fun to watch the children's faces
when they create a letter that they know!


and then to help them spell out their name!


We also had time to 'make and bake'...


 Teddy Graham and Oreo cookies!


We also used Play-doh molds to make 'Bob the Builder,' 
 'Wendy,' Blues Clues' and his friends!


There was a lot of learning going on!



The children enjoyed our opening time together very much, but
we had to move on...to Circle time with our sweet helper-Marissa.


  She helped in our review of the calendar, numbers, and colors!

Our Bible time is always so sweet.
It is truly my favorite time of the morning.
Today I shared the Gospel message with them.
"But Ms. Ellen I already have Jesus in my heart."
I couldn't have been happier!



and lastly, with all stars for a hard worker...


...they get to pick a treat or toy
from the treasure box!!!
Such a perfect day!

Day 6: Letter Gg

Today we worked with Legos:


we worked to sort the legos by color.



we also sorted the legos by shape:
-we found rectangle and square shaped legos.


and even oval shaped legos!


then we worked at making a rectangle tower
and a square tower!




During our prayer time each child had a chance to share
what they are thankful for and share their prayer request.

We thanked God for our daddies, mommies and Chuck-E-Cheese (!)
and prayed for our families.

...and after 'Circle Time' we....

had snack time. 
During our snack time we had a mini- 'Happy Birthday' party-
 it made one little boy very happy =)

Next, we read about God being our Good Shepherd from the parable
of the lost sheep.
Each week we review all our letters with the
"God, Me, and My ABC's" alphabet flip chart.


Here is the Gg craft page.


Our God IS the Good Shepherd-
He is patient, kind, merciful,
He knows us, loves us, watches over us, protects us.
It was a wonderful day reflecting on how very much
God loves us on Gg day.
