(We had two little girls, 'A' and 'A' visit our “classroom” today.)
Fingerplay
“Joseph's Brothers”
Bible Story
Bible: Genesis 48:10-16
Children's Bible: Jacob blesses Joseph's sons
Active Exploration
I asked the boys if they have any relaitives that live far away. “A” immediately said: “Uncle P!”. When I asked him where he lived, “A” answered, “Hawaii”. We then talked about where all the granparents live (Seattle, Olympia, Everett, Sagle).
We talke about loved ones who have passed away. We talked about ” Grandma G”, and looked at her picture. I told them that she liked to make pancakes and homemade jam, was a terrific dancer, and played games. She also had a great sense of humor.
Focus: The importance of maintaining memories of loved ones.
Letter Activity
We reviewed the flashcards for 'E'. Then, the boys were to write out 'E' on their paper.
Bible Activity
I showed the boys the act of a blessing by blessing them. They kneeled before me, I placed my hands on their heads, and asked for God to bless their lives, thoughts, works, and deeds. 'R' giggled through the whole blessing!
Composer Study
We played Mozart this morning. We focused on Symphony no. 40 in G minor and Eine Klein Nachtmusik
Spanish
Reviewed the colors: azul, rojo, amarillo, rosado, mojado, negro, verde
I also spoke in sentences to them in Spanish, so they are familiar with how it sounds.
Social
Playtime with 'A' (1G3) and 'A' (2G1)
Read Aloud
The Tale of Benjamin Rabbit by Beatrix Potter
P.E.
We walked our trail from our home to church. The boys walked about 2/3 of the way before surrendering to the stroller. I'd say they walked almost a mile. DH picked us up, due to flat tires on the stroller.
I love how you post your schedule every day. It’s interesting to see how others spend their day! I also enjoy all the pictures you post, it looks like you do lots of neat stuff!
