This week we will be discussing Noah & God's Promise.  The bible story talks about Noah building the ark and bringing the animals on during the flood.  We will be focusing on the promise God made to not flood Earth again and the rainbow that He made.  The art project today will be a rainbow using fruit loops and cotton balls.  We will be reading the story: What Makes A Rainbow? by Betty Schwartz. 

During centers, we will be continuing our work on cutting.  This is in preparation for next year.  We will also work on identifying numbers and tracing them.  The sensory table will be open for exploration. 

UPCOMING ACTIVITIES:

Please be aware that next week is WATER WEEK!  The kids will need to bring their swim suits, towels, and extra clothing (including a swim diaper, if needed).  You will need to apply sunscreen at home, as we are not allowed to here. 

The last week is our END OF THE YEAR PICNIC!  We will be eating outside (weather permitting) and will be playing quite a bit outside.  Please apply sunscreen. 

If you have any questions, please let me know.

My apologies for not blogging last week.  Just a quick summary of what we completed last week.  Our bible story and art project was Jesus Calms the Storm.  We discussed how we must have faith in Jesus even when life seems difficult.  We also had a chance to practice a fire drill and tornado drill during school.  Last week we were able to practice our songs down in the FLC, where we will be performing.  Please let me know if you are needing the lyrics for the songs. 

This week we will be reading The Lost Sheep.  It tells about the parable of a shepherd who has the responsibility to provide and protect all of his sheep.  If one is lost, he goes in search of the lost one until it is found and returned.  This is how God feels about His people.  We will be making a lost sheep in art.  We will also be working on our numbers 1-10 by sorting.

Today we are continuing our Easter celebration with discussions on the Last Supper up until the Resurrection. The bible story this week is Jesus is Risen!  To follow along with the Easter theme, we will be making a bunny craft with egg cartons, pom poms and googly eyes.  They will also be making stained glass eggs using tissue paper and clear contact paper.

They will also be identifying the number 1-10 during centers.  We have matching and counting activities for them to work with.  We will be working on our songs for the graduation ceremonies set for April 26^th.  Those songs are: 5 Little Monkeys, Happy & You Know It, and Be Careful Little Eyes.  Have them sing to you at home, to help them prepare.  If you need the words to any of these songs, I can try to download and e-mail them to you.  Just let me know. 

Please make sure to return those eggs this week, as we will be having our Easter egg hunt during recess!
