We are rounding out the month with a wonderful unit, I Can Pray!  This week we will be talking about the importance of prayer...  when do you pray, do you ask for forgiveness, do you pray for others?  As always, we will practice praying before snack and lunch.  The children will learn The Lord's Prayer during Bible time.  During art, the children will be making a Prayer Rock.  This will be something they will bring home and it will help them to remember to pray each day.  Our story this week is also about the power of prayer...  The I Believe Bunny by Tish Rabe is a wonderful book about a bunny who is trying to help a mouse that fell into a river.  The bunny can't quite reach, so he prays for help to save the mouse... what happens next?  You'll have to ask your child :)

The shape of the week is a Trapezoid.  Do elephants stand on trapezoids in a circus?  What else does a trapezoid do?  During table time, the children will have an opportunity cut and color trapezoids.  And, of course, will be learning a song about the shape. 

We are looking forward to more sharing time this week.  To finish the month of January, we have these children bringing something to share:
Tuesday: Madison and Conor
Wednesday: Jack and Logan
Thursday: Chloe and Claire

Blessings!
Mrs. Kai
