Ii is for ice this week!
Table activities include ice explore- what happens if we sprinkle ice with sugar, colored sugar, salt or sprinkles, rescuing iced in plastic animals, building with ice cubes, painting an "ice" fort, making an ice palace with sugar cubes and playing with orbees on ice.
Our small group activities are painting with frozen paint, painting ice with watercolors, and adding Ii is for ice to our journals.
KDIs for the week are-
Use of resources: Children gather information and formulate ideas about their world- The question this week is "What do you think will happen?" taking what you know and applying it to something new is important to learning.
Observing: Children observe the materials and processes in their environment.- What does ice turn into? What different forms does matter take? (Although we don't use the word matter.) Learning about solids, liquids and gases.
Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds. - We have talked about and added three vowels to journal. What makes vowels different? What letters are vowels?
Jesus Time- This week we are hearing about Jesus feeding more than 5000 people with two fish and five small loaves of bread. Jesus had been teaching and healing a large crowd of people as they walked along following him. When mealtime came, they were far from home or towns. The disciples told Jesus to send them all home and Jesus instructed his disciples to find food for all the people. The disciples protested, saying it would take more than a year's wages to feed all these people, besides there was no where to buy that much food. One disciple found a young boy with a lunch of two fish and five loaves. He instructed the disciples to get the people seated and he took the lunch, thanked God for it and began to break it into pieces and give it to the disciples to pass out. Everyone ate until they were full. Then Jesus instructed his disciples to pick up the leftovers. They came back with 12 baskets full of leftovers! Unfortunately, this made many of the people want to make Jesus their king because they'd never have to cook or buy food again. That wasn't why Jesus came. He came to give us spiritual life!
Books of the week- "A Ball for Daisy" by Chris Raschka, "A Stranger in the Woods" by Carl R. Sams II and Jean Stoick, and "Hap-pea all Year" by Keith Baker.
