Bb is for bubbles!

We are experimenting with and blowing bubbles this week along with listening and looking for the letter Bb.

Table activities include playing with bubble foam, making bubble wands, blowing bubbles on the table and with found objects, playing with foam letters in bubbles and making bubbles in a cup.

Small group activities include making bubble prints, tensile bubbles and adding a Bb is for bubbles page to our journals.

KDIs of the week are-
Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds.-the difference between P and B sound and the print- they should know the difference by the end of the week.

Pretend play: Children express and represent what they observe, think, imagine, and feel through pretend play. - What can we pretend? Knowing the difference between pretend and real.

Jesus Time-
This week we hear the story of Hannah and Samuel. Hannah was an Israelite woman who had no children and very badly wanted one. She prayed when she and her husband went to temple for a child. The priest, Eli, heard her sobbing and wondered why she was so sad. When she told him, he assured her that God had heard her prayer and she would have a child. She did have a little boy and named him Samuel. She vowed that she would give him back into the service of the Lord. When Samuel was about 5 years old, she traveled with him to the temple where she talked again to Eli. She gave Samuel into his care. Samuel assisted Eli in the temple, cleaned, prepared the temple for worship and lived there. He worked for the Lord when he was about the age of the children in preschool! We don't have to send our children to live in the back of the church, but they can still do things out of thankfulness to God. Being kind, sharing their possessions, honoring their parents are all ways they can show their love for God!

Books of the week- "The Bubble Factory" by Tomie dePaola, "Pretend" by Jennifer Plecas. We may read other bubble books if I can get them!

Have a beautiful week!
