Day 34

What a joy to talk to your kids about God's plan to come down to earth to be with us.  We sang "God Promised He would send us His Own Son". (repeat)  This is how he kept his promise-He sent us baby Jesus!  God promised He would send us His own Son.  Add some claps and we really worshipped today!

We started talking about doctors today.  We learn alot about things just by talking about our experiences.  Gabi brought in a little horse that was her grama's.  She told us her grama had cancer and died.  What is cancer someone asked.  Where you can't breath because of the dirt.  When you have it and get better and get it again.  Of course,  my comments were about it spreads, and they said it makes you really sick.  At the book bank they love the Animal book with so many actual animals.  They teach each other about getting germs from being bit by a bat and cleaning out the bite.   We hope to learn alot about our bodies just by bringing up doctors helping us stay healthy.

In weather class we started talking about where wind comes from.  From a cloud?  How did it get there?  God put it there.  Could God breath it into the clouds?  Not every question gets completely answered but we will keep having the conversation each day and they will be amazed at what God can do and how his weather works.

Our writing gets more detailed as we learn more everyday words.  We have 1 1 letter word-I.  We have five two letter words-do, to, me, my,  is.  We have five three letter words-you, see, are, and, the.  Two letter words are- like, made.  One five letter word-there.  We use them in our Kindergarten news each morning when we try to put them in sentences.  We used slash marks to count up how many my's we used today and we found we used my six times.

We have two new math games:  We are counting gingerbread men into a cookie sheet,  starting to count by fives up to 30.  We couldn't believe they were baked by the eighth graders when they were in Kindergarten (and extremely hard, too I might add).  We are also counting out pennies to see how many go into a nickle- again counting by fives.  That is a magnet game we made up today with our magnetic money.   They love making up new games to play.  I need to help them sometimes since I know what we are learning in math.

Well, have a good weekend I say from my house where no one is discussing anything at the moment.  And that is ok.  May Our Father in Heaven give you peace as you enjoy your little ones at your house.
