"Jesus wipes your sins clean"
Bible Story
Luke 18:15-17, 13:34-35
John 12:2-3 and Luke 21:1-4
Children’s Bible: Children came to Jesus, the people of Jerusalem made Jesus sad, Giving to the Lord
Devotional Activity
1 John 4:19 "We love Him because He first loved us.
We read a story surrounding this verse and talked about Jesus love for us.
We reviewed four other verses.
Letter Activity
The boys glued cotton balls to the letter ‘W’
Hide and Seek ‘W’. ‘A’ founf them all without assistance, ‘R’ needed assistance with one, and missed one.
Drama
The boys acted out the Bible story. They were Jesus and they had their stuffed animals (the children) sit on their laps. I was the "disciples" who said Jesus was too busy for them.
The boys built the city of Jerusalem, then marched in as an arym and destroyed it.
Color Activity
My computer was down for the day, so instead of printing grpahics, I traced these from a sticker book.
My mothers helper, D, joined us for this activity.
Math Activity
I made five index cards, each with colored dots on them, ranging from 1-5. ‘D’ helped the boys count and place the number of pennies needed for each card. She also taught them that five pennies equals one nickel, and that one nickel equals five pennies.
Read Aloud
We just checked out four ‘Henry and Mudge’ books form the library and have read two so far. The stories about about a boy and his very large dog.
Reading
‘A’ has been verbally sounding and spelling simple words for about a month. Thanks to Elizabeth (mamabear2003) suggestion, I purchased the first volume of ‘Bob Books’. There are 12. Each book is more advanced than the previous. ‘A’ read the first five books over the course of this day. Here are the words he can read. He struggles with the word ‘the’, always wanting to sound it out, instead of memorizing it.:
The

That is so great that "A" read the first five books already! "J" still has trouble with "the" too. He has other sight words memorized, but it's hard when they can't sound it out! I wish that I taught him "the" first. Oh well, you know what my little girl's first sight word will be…
That is terrific. We loved Bob Books. 🙂
