It was a pleasure to see everyone at our virtual parent teacher night last week. I hope I was able to answer most of your questions about our class. If you have any additional concerns or questions, please email me at [email protected] or message me in the ClassDojo app.
This week we will explore lessons 1-5, “Wonder About Weather,” from Mother Goose Time. Children develop observational skills as they grow. They use these skills when they observe the outdoors. Learning about different types of weather allows children to look outside of themselves and investigate the world around them. This week we will explore the concepts of sun, wind, clouds and rainbows through a variety of hands on activities. We will learn to calm ourselves and quiet our inner storms through yoga as well. We will be learning some yoga poses while listening to the sound of the rain during music and movement time.
In addition to weather, we will be learning more about pumpkins. We will read some books about the pumpkin life cycle, create orange pumpkin fingerpaintings and learn some fun pumpkin songs and fingerplays.
Our Jesus Time lessons include, “Jesus is with me at school,” “God made the sunshine”, “God shows Abraham the starry sky” and “Jesus quiets a storm.” We will also be getting a special visit from Abraham, the comfort dog. He will be visiting us to show us God’s unconditional love for each one of us.
Homework packets are due back in class by Friday. They will need an adult’s help to complete the activities. Thank you for all your assistance and I hope everyone has a great week!!
