Clay, Rollie Pollies, and all kinds of Fun

The Clay

 They loved rolling the clay into small smooth balls. To do that they added a little water.

The children are taking more pictures during choice time.

Here are just a few.

 

And then a few more ...

to show our teamwork!

A pile of grass on the sidewalk ...

pick it up and dicover that many rollie pollies have found a home!

The children had a great time picking them up!

One child needed a tweezers and a magnifying glass to pick them up and study them.

 Jesus Time

This week's story is about Abraham and Sarah waiting for their special baby to be born.

We're Moving!

 Dancing to some fun Jesus songs!

So, fun to dance to "Touch the Sky" and "God is Number One!"

I'm going jump, jump, jump really high!" 

God loves me so!

Gym Time

Wow!

Amazing Block Area Teamwork!

After they finished building it, they cleaned it all up before clean up time!

Always learning in so many ways!

While they play outside on a beautiful day!

Cooking with grass and wood chips!

They found the drain!

Walking through our "garden"

As they take pictures during Choice Time

Portfolio Work

The children are working on portfolio pages. Almost everyone had written their name for September and first quarter interviews are almost completed.

Story Time

We read The Very Clumsy Click Beetle by Eric Carle and 

The Letters are Lost by Lisa Campbell Ernst.

After Nap

Many children enjoyed creating an entry in their journals.

This was the first time they worked in them after nap.

Where did it come from?

We found this while we were playing outside on our play space.

 Where did it come from?

So we went for a walk around our campus, looking for a tree that produced other things like this.

We had no luck!

Do you know what it is?

We did see ants eating a bug. Can you see it?

Our Stage

A Little Performance

Let's call it "Tip-Toe Through the Logs."

Chapel

Andrew Nelson, from Chapel of the Cross Lutheran Church, led our chapel.

He told the Bible story from Mark 4:35-41, when Jesus calmed the storm. In this story Jesus wants us to know we do not need to be afraid, because He takes care of us.

Prayer Time!

Parakeet Drawings

A small group started drawing our parakeets today. They used oil pastels, a medium we haven't used this year. Amazing focus!
