Last week the children had fun playing "Parachute Hello" with their friends in circle.
This week in Phonics/Language we will practice writing the letter "L" on our little chalkboards. We will print an "L" with limes and make Luscious Lemon Limeade to share. The children will also play a game using only their left hands and feet. We will continue to practice "The Three Little Kittens" with finger puppets and The Ugly Duckling with sequence cards. The children will bring the puppets and cards home at the end of the week. We will also read Library Lil and visit the school library.
In Nature/Science we will read The Five Senses and You Touch With Your Fingers. The children will practice matching picture cards to the appropriate sense in circle. They will practice matching textured fabrics and tablets (Montessori) in Fine Motor. We will talk about dressing appropriately for the weather as we read The Jacket I Wear In the Snow. The children will also experiment with Solids, Liquids, and Gases this week.
In Bible the children will color and read Jesus in the Temple. We will also read Luke 2:42-52 and sing "This Little Light of Mine". Last week the children decided to shine their lights all over North America, the United States, Texas, and Flint Academy. We will also read Mittens Comes to Church (about a kitten).
In Music we will play "Parachute Blizzard" and "Happy New Year" with the Parachute. The children will also learn to match their instrument card with the one on the board as we play Music Maestro (with an instrument sounds tape).
