Letter of the Week: Ee

We started our day with sewing!

I have many different kinds of sewing kits 

for the children to experiment with.

Dress-up twins set, which is A-lot of fun!

Sewing beads on a lace for a necklace.

They did great!

We were blessed with a big sister helper today!

Annika is a perfect little teacher!

She lead the children in singing the alphabet during Circle time.

She helped review all our Bible lessons from the first day of School.

 Today is Ee day!

I love E day- "Elijah believed in the Everlasting God!"

Each time I share the story of Elijah with children I watch

how they are anxious to see if God hears and answers Elijah's prayer.

How they clap, squeal or laugh when they see and hear

the fire come down from heaven and burn up all the wood.

I purposely wait to pray with them after this Bible time

because they always seem to have faith to pray for big things 

after seeing God do big things.

The prayer requests were for:

Papa, Ms. Kelly, Uncle Tim, Uncle Weston, and Uncle Stephen

and of course all the boo-boos.

(Praying with children is the best!)

Elijah poured water all over the wood and the alter

and then prayed for God to send fire...

the fire came!

After our snack time we talked about the season of Fall.

We used sponges and paint to make a book about trees in the fall.

Even my two-year old had to sponge paint!

This was no small task! They had to paint four pages!

But they loved it!

While we waited for the paint to dry
we worked on our numbers and vowels.

The children are learning their vowels so fast!

I'm so proud of them! 

When their sponge-painted trees were dry we 

added leaf stickers, sticks and painted acorns to the them.

"What Do You See Up in A Tree?

 Leaves!

 Sticks!

  and acorns!

All DONE!!!

Soooo Proud!!!

Letter of the Week - Cc

Today is Columbus Day,

and yes we have school!

We started the morning with reading time.

I read the book,

In 1492. 

I had other books about Christopher Columbus out 

for the children and I to look through and discuss.

After reading about Columbus 

I taught them the song:

"Sailing, sailing

over the ocean blue

Columbus found America in 1492.

Sailing, sailing,

three ship on the blue,

The Nina, and the Pinta, and the Santa Maria too!"

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

The children painted the three ships.

When we were all finished and cleaned up

we headed over to our Circle Time.

Next, we read our Bible story on Creation.

We talked about all six days of Creation and

what God created on each day.

Here the children are working on their Bible craft.

After a good snack break 

we reviewed our vowels and vowel sounds.

Here the students are working in their A Beka book.

The vowels for the week are Aa and Oo.

And working on their handwriting.

(She is just tooooo cute!)

I ended the day with our music time.

Instruments were out and they were ready to learn new songs.

Today I taught  the children a creation song that I truly love.

It is the first year I am teaching it and I think the children loved it too!

Marching and singing praise songs to God!

Does it get any better than this!
