We are getting tangled up in a mess of yarn activities this week and talking about the sound of Yy for yarn.Table activities- Painting with yarn, lacing cards with yarn, yarn on sticky paper, wrapping yarn sticks, yarn necklaces and sewing with yarn on plastic canvas.
Small group this week includes a two part project, today we glued yarn onto some watercolor paper, on Wednesday we will fill in the gaps with watercolor paints, on Friday we will add Yy is for yarn to our journals.
KDIs for the week-
Engagement: Children focus on activities that interest them- There are a wide variety of ways to play, we see some children who choose the same activities every day and those who try different things.
Personal care: Children carry out personal care routines on their own.- Very important in this flu season. We washed hands a lot today. Washing off paint and glue and every time they went to the bathroom and before they ate. Stay away germs!
Appreciating the arts: Children appreciate the creative arts- This week is the first time we have more than one step to a project, hopefully, they will appreciate the results!
Jesus Time- In this week's story we see Jesus at the wedding of a friend. It was the custom in those days to have a wedding celebration that lasted longer than a day, more like a week. Usually the best wine was served first, but enough food and wine was purchased to feed everyone for the entire time. They had run out of wine at this wedding and Jesus' mother let him know what had happened. He told her that it wasn't quite time yet. She told the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to do. Jesus quietly called the servants to him and told them to fill the jugs up with water. He then told them to take a cup of it to the master of the feast. When they did, the master said, "Why did you save the best wine until the end of the feast?" Jesus had turned the water into wine. He didn't want the servants to tell anyone what had happened. Every miracle that Jesus did, he did out of love for others, never to show how great he was! He raised Jairus' daughter from the dead and told them not to tell anyone, he calmed the storm to calm his disciples, he helped them catch a good deal of fish, all out of humble service to others! As we get to know this Savior better and better, may we see his love in dealing with us all the time!
