“Baby in the Basket”; Introduced the letter “F”
Bible Story
Bible: Exodus 1:22, 2:1-4
Children's Bible: Baby Moses went into the river in a basket
Art Activity
“A” cut strips of green paper for grass. I assisted “R” in cutting his strips. They glued the “grass” onto the “water”, then placed baby Moses in the water as well.
“A” and “R” made birthday cards for tehir grandfather. “A” was able to write, “To Dado”
“Love A(insert name here) (Dad is grandpa's nickname, a play on 'abuelito')
Letter Activity
I had “A” practice writing his name. He can do the letters, but has not grasped the concept of placing the letters in a row, next to each other.
I drew the letter “F” in sidewalk chalk and the boys had fun playing on it and saying the letter 'F' and making the phonic sound.
Bible Activity
The boys acted out the Bible story. They pretended to weave a basket, place thwir baby in the basket, place the baby in the river, pray to God to protect their baby.
I asked if they thought DH and I prayed to God to protect them. They both said, “yes”.
