Supplies List

Welcome to God, Me, and My ABC's!!!

I am so excited that you have decided to make 

Jesus a big part of your child's education in learning the alphabet!

Below is the supply list to make your year a little easier.

I usually purchase all of my supplies before the first day of school

that way I have everything I need. 

 First you'll need a copy of  "God, Me, and My ABC's." 

If you are interested in purchasing a student copy and Teacher's Guide,

please e-mail me at shepherdingwithjoy@gmail.com.

I use, and it is suggested in your Teacher's Edition, an alphabet stamp set.

I also have several different color stamp pads just for fun!

Here is an over view of all the supplies you will need:

-Alphabet stamp set

-Stamp pads

-Adult size scissor

-Craft knife 

-Hole punch

-Tape

-Popsicle sticks

-Googly eyes of varying sizes

-Brass fastener

-Velcro stickers

-Star stickers

-Stick glue

-Crayons

Many people have asked me, "What are brass fasteners?" 

So, here is a picture of them!

You'll need to use these with a few of the crafts.

I hope you have a wonderful year using my Preschool or Kindergarten curriculum!

Before you get ready to teach a lesson, pop over to the link

"The ABC's of Joy School" to help you get some fresh ideas on how to 

use the curriculum and add new educational ideas to your day. 

Letter of the Week - Gg

We started the day talking about Autumn 

and changes this season brings.

I taught them about squirrels-

how they work to find, store, and bury acorns for the winter.

Then they painted a squirrel!

We talked about what color squirrels are-

black, brown or gray.

They noticed that the squirrels in our area are all gray.

I showed them how black and white mixed together make gray.

Then they got to work painting their squirrels!

While we waited for everyone to finish painting and cleaning up

they created tracks and played with the trains.

Today we had a special helper!

(Marissa is a Joy School graduate-

she knew just what to do!)

She helped the children review the calendar, alphabet,

 shapes, numbers,and colors.

In our Bible time we read about the one lost sheep.

We talked about how God is like the good shepherd in the story.

God cares for us so much that He will look for us and be with us no matter what.

Our Bible craft time-'God is the Good Shepherd.'

During our vowel/reading time

we learned a new 'ladder.'

It was exciting to see all the children practicing their sounds 

and understanding them!

We also worked on our handwriting!

At the end of the day we cut out all the parts of the squirrel,

and pasted them together on a large sheet of paper.

All done!
