Blog for March 13, 15 and 17

Wow! What weather! Our theme for this week is "spring" ! Man or teacher plans, and God laughs!! The week I planned snow, it was 70 degrees, this week, I planned spring, we get 4 inches of snow!

Table activities this week are dirt and seeds, pinwheel making, kites and flower petal counting.

Some of the KDIs week are-
Classifying: Children classify materials, actions, people, and events. - We are looking at different seeds and plants.
Natural and physical world: Children gather knowledge about the natural and physical world. - What does wind do? We will get to learn more about nature and the natural world at the Leslie Science and Nature center.

Jesus Time - This week we see Jesus take time to bless some little children. Traditionally, children weren't part of worship until they were 13. The disciples thought they were doing Jesus a favor by keeping the children away from him, but He told them not to do it! The kingdom of heaven is made up of those with child-like faith and trust. Those children believed that Jesus was their Savior, they didn't doubt it or question it, they believed that He had to do it all, they couldn't do it for themselves. He blessed each child and loved them too!

Books of the Week- "Flora's Very Windy Day" by Jeanne Birdsall, "Rain!" by Linda Ashman, "Worm Weather" by Jean Taft and other rainy, windy weather books.

Wednesday is our field trip to Leslie Science and Nature Center located at 1831 Traver Rd, Ann Arbor, MI 48105.

We will meet there at 10:00 am and we will be outside, no matter the weather!

If you are not coming to the field trip, there is no school on Wednesday and I will see you Friday!!

Also, I don't know if preschool parents are aware, but I have been teaching 7th and 8th grade in the afternoons due to the teacher in that classroom suddenly resigning. Due to this, I will be doing parent-teacher conferences for the 7th and 8th grades. I will not be able to do 46 conferences in two afternoons! So, I would like to postpone preschool conferences to the week of April 3-7. I will send out a Sign Up Genius by the end of the week for you to schedule them.
Thanks for your understanding!
