Letter of the Day:Oo

Good news!

I have a new camera!

This week I get to show you all that we did together =)

We started our morning

making a Valentine craft!

Each child got to put their hands in red paint

and place them in their paper heart.



After our morning craft time we moved into our Circle Time.

We said our pledges...

We are still working at learning allll the words!

Next, we headed to snack time.

Today was a very special snack time

because two students had finished their 100 books chart!!!

And in Joy School

that means party time!!!

They were so delighted with their special snowmen cupcakes!

Next, we read our Bible story.

We studied the story of Jonah.

First, we talked about how important it is to obey our parents.

For in obeying them we learn how to obey God.

They listed wonderful ways to obey our parents:

-clean up my room

-pick up the toys

-don't hit our sisters

and many more...

After Bible craft time and our Bible song time

we had a little time left for play time.

One of my students brought hot wheel cars for show and tell

and so I took out the cars we own and a race track

to allow all the kids a chance to play.

     It was so wonderful watching them all have fun with the cars.

It was a great way to end the day!

See you all next week =)      



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.
