We started out the day with a dancing pineapple! Her name was Zero The Pineapple!! She cheered for Day 40 and the kids had a good laugh. Later I carved it up so they saw the outer skin, then I trimmed around the core and each of them got a peice of pineapple shaped like a...ZERO!! We all tried it and it was delicious! No one said 30 ten this time so they anticipated the exchange of ten ones to a bundle of ten.
We finished our first week of Number Notebooks to start off the day. We have a page full of our results. Day 1: Make a pattern with two colors of cubes. Try another combination. Draw pictures.
Day 2: Make a pattern with three colors. Draw a picture of it.
Day 3: Make a CORE pattern of three colors. Repeat it and trade one set of three cubes with a b uddy. Now draw the two patterns together. This was definitely harder for them to do. We will try it again on Monday with no help from me to see how they figure it out and if they come up with the right answer.
The goal is to learn to give them a situation to solve in their own way.
How I love Bible time!! On Wednesday we continued to talk about the shepherds and what it was like for them to find out about Jesus from angels. We thought about how the angel was so bright. God put a light in them. God was behind them. An angel is like a candle. The kids genuinely want to understand the God they love. Today we talked more about how the shepherds might feel since they were out in the open and couldn't see in the dark and then the Angel appeared to them. They shared their experiences with fear in the dark. And then we all hurried to Bethlehem to see the Newborn King. Afterwards we looked into the sky and saw our memory verse : Luke 2:10 and 11. It is due on Monday, December 19.
We are so excited about making words out of our moveable letter people. The children are really interested in the whole reading process. They put each standing letter on either side of letter light a and just like that they discover a word!! Then they write it down and they are so proud!
Don't forget- P booklet homework is due Monday! Have a great weekend. Enjoy last minute preparations and time with your family!
