Letter of the Day: Nn

What begins with Nn?

Nn is for Noah

nnnnnnnn-Noah!

Today we started our day

playing with KidKnex.

After this one picture

my camera completely died,

as in, died for good =(

It was fully charged, but had no life.

But we still made some wonderful creatures.

We made puppy dogs, flowers and sunshiny suns.

After that we started our circle time.

(What a blast I had!!).

We sang our different pledges, prayed and then

began working on our months of the year song.

We sang all the months-

"January, February, March, April..."

Then I hear my little boy say,

"I love Aunt April, Uncle Jesse and baby 'Biolet'!"

He heard the month April and thought of his Aunt April!

Sooooo wonderful.

Then when we were singing our numbers song

I cracked up again.

We sing:

"Rickety, Tickety,

clap with me,

How many fingers do you see?"

Then I hold up fingers between 1-5.

For the last time around I surprised them by holding up

all ten fingers.

I said, "How many fingers do you see?"

I held up all 10 fingers...

The response?

"LOTS!!!"

 The children had no idea why I was laughing.

In Bible time we studied the story of Noah and the ark.

We talked about how, "God shut the door."

"That's so cool Mrs. Ellen."

"Yes, God made sure that they were safe.

Our God keeps us safe too."

We talked about how God protected Noah and his family

and how God protects us.

We had a sweet time of giving thanks to God.

Next, we headed to the table for our craft time.

"Noah needed to build an Ark."

The children enjoyed placing all the animal stickers on and around the ark.

Outside of my camera breaking,

it was another precious day.



Letter of the Day: Mm

We are in the cold and bitter month of January

where there should be snow,

but alas we have none.

But that can not stop us from making snowmen!!!

We made snowmen from the impressions of their cute little feet!

Each child made two footprints in white paint.

Then had the chance to decorate each one!

It was alot of work, but fun!

We used many different mediums:

paper hats, google eyes, twigs for arms, foam trees, sticker snowflakes...

and paint of course!

That was just our morning project!

After our circle time we went straight into our Bible time.

We read about Moses for Mm day.

We read how God provided water from a rock,

quail for meat,

and manna or sweet bread for the Israelites.

We talked about how Moses prayed and God answered.

I asked them, "Have you ever prayed to God and had your prayers answered?"

"Well, I prayed for snow."

Me: "But it hasn't snowed."

"I'm still gonna keep praying."

Me: "We should never stop."

Another child said,
"I prayed for my brother's coach. His back hurt and God healed him."

Another child said,

"I pray for my daddy and now he's at work."

We cheered for God. Our God loves us and hears our prayers.

Our God takes care of our needs just like He did for Moses.

After snack time we went back to work creating our Mm page.

We glued oatmeal on the ground around Moses to represent the manna.

Another blessed and wonderful day.

I can't wait until next week!
