Thursday

Day 4, "Daniel didn't fear in the lion's den."

A new day, a new week!!! We always start the day with an educational game. I allow this time of the morning for the children to come in, get acclimated, build deeper friendships and to learn something new through games or toys. Today's task was figuring out puzzles. I taught them how to find the "corner" pieces first and then place them down. Next, we work with the "clues" that each piece gives us. It was a fun time and I think they learned alot.


Below the children are assemblying an alphabet floor puzzle.
 They had to work together to place the letters in their correct order.

She did it!! (I knew she would =)

We did number puzzles...



animal puzzles...
annnd...just about every puzzle I own!
Then it was time for "Circle Time."
We work to uncover the numbers of the dates from when we were a part.
(I just love that chubby arm!)

We also work on our colors and...

 our numbers.

Today we studied D for Daniel.
 After reading about him in the Bible we talked about the miracle God created for Daniel.
I asked the children, "Do you think God would protect us if we asked Him?"
One said, "Oh, yes, if we were in a lion's den he would save us too."  (!) soooo cute!


The completed work!!!
...and soooo proud!

It was another great day- I can't seem to cover all we do in one day in just one blog entry, so I'll try and cover different things each week. Until next time...JOY!!!

Day 4-Day Cc

 I just couldn't wait to begin teaching this year.
 First day of class was September  22nd.
We are now four weeks in and loving it =) 
We started today with creating several different marble chase runs.





After circle time with our special teacher assistant- Marissa,
 we focused on the letter of the week-Cc.


"God cares about His creation."
We read the creation story together and 
worked on memorizing what wonderful things God created on each day.  
When they were finished, they were quite proud!



We ended the day, as we always do, learning new Bible songs!
So far we have learned:
 I've got the Joy, Joy, Joy, If you want Joy...,
 The B-I-B-L-E, and Only a boy named David.
With instruments in hand we march, sing, and dance! We have a blast =)


With kisses and hugs we say goodbye and look forward to another terrific time together!
