Vv is for Valentines! That is our letter and our theme this week!Table activities include candy heart sorting, decorating sticky hearts, cup tower building, Valentines playdough, stringing heart beads on pipe cleaners and a Valentines sensory bin.
Small group activities are decorating our own Valentines' bag with drawings and stickers, sorting our Valentines and experimenting with baking soda hearts and vinegar.
The KDIs for the week are-
Number words and symbols: Children recognize and use number words and symbols.- For planning today we rolled a die and counted out that many candy hearts. We will work on number recognition again this week.
Counting: Children count things. - how many valentines do you have? We will count to make sure everyone has the right number.
Emotions: Children recognize, label, and regulate their feelings.- We are talking about love and how we show it this week.
Jesus Time- Wow, Jesus showed a lot of love in our stories this week. First we hear of how he healed a paralyzed man who was lowered down in front of him from the roof of a house. Jesus was preaching and healing in a small town and the house he was in was full. Four men, friends of a fifth man who was paralyzed, were desperate to reach him. So they carefully climbed with their friend to the roof of the house Jesus was in and removed some roof tiles to let their friend down right in front of Jesus. When Jesus sees this man, he has compassion and says to the man, "Be of good cheer, your sins are forgiven." Some of those listening thought, how can he say that? Who does he think he is? They were not happy with Jesus message of full and free forgiveness, they wanted people to follow their rules to be saved, not rely on a Savior who would do it all for them. To show his power, Jesus also said to the man, "Get up, take up your mat and walk." And the man did!! Jesus is God! We also heard the story of Jairus' daughter. Jesus was in a city, people were pressing all around him and a synagogue leader came to beg him to come to his home and heal his young daughter who was sick. When he and Jesus arrived at his home, he was told it was too late, his daughter was dead. Jesus said, "She's not dead, she's only sleeping." The grieving people thought he didn't know what he was talking about. Jesus went in with the girl's parents and his disciples. He took the little girl by the hand and said, "Little girl, get up." And she did! He told her mother to give her something to eat and he went on his way. Jesus showed so much love to those around him. He didn't do things for his own glory, just to help people who he loved. Just to help US!
Books of the week- "Love Bugs" by David A. Carter, "Pete the Cat Valentine's Day is Cool" by Kimberly and James Dean, "Hedgehugs" by Steve Wilson and Lucy Tapper and "I Love Hugs" by Camilla de la Bedoyere.
Bring your Valentines on Wednesday!
Bring your attendance slip for Belle Isle on Friday. There may be a cost to park, if you have a recreation passport for the state park system it is absolutely free, but there is a booth, but I have heard that no one is ever there. Just so you are aware there might be.
Have a week full of love!
