This week we are concentrating on the concept of opposites.
Table activities this week include painting on black paper with white paint and white paper with black paint, sorting big and little pompoms, playing in warm and cold water, sorting long and short and soft and hard and making necklaces out of big and little beads.
Our small group activities this week are experimenting with floating and sinking, making a long/short dog and adding a sad/happy face with what makes us sad or happy in our journals.
Our KDIs of the week are-
Spatial awareness: Children recognize spatial relationships
among people and objects.- Near and Far, high or low, some opposites that include spatial relationships.
Measuring: Children measure to describe, compare, and
order things. Comparing to see which one is bigger or heavier or longer.
Classifying: Children classify materials, actions, people, and
events.-Using our sense of touch to classify objects as soft or hard, smooth or rough.
Jesus Time- This week we are hearing about Jesus' ascension. Jesus had appeared to his disciples and others many times in the 40 days after his resurrection. He was on the beach one morning while his disciples were out fishing, just like they used to do before. They weren't having much luck. So he called out to have them put their net down on the other side. When Peter realized it was Jesus, he through off his coat and waded back to shore. After they had eaten, Jesus called Peter over and asked him three times if he loved him. Peter replied that, "Yes, Lord I love you!" Jesus asked him to feed his lambs and sheep. When the time came for Jesus to return to heaven, the disciples and others were gathered around him on a hill outside Jerusalem. Jesus gave them their mission- Go and tell the whole world about me! I will always be with you until the end of the world! As he raised his hands to bless them, he was lifted up into the sky and the disciples stood there watching until a cloud hid him from view. As the disciples were staring up, two angels appeared and reassured them that Jesus would come back the same way he went up. May God keep us in His word and in His grace until He returns!!
