Today, we learned about Day 6 of Creation. God made all of the animals, and He made man in His own image! Wow! The preschool kids join us on Friday, so we had a big group of children today. The children made islands with play dough and added 5 animals to each of their islands. Then, each group had to tell the class about their play dough creations. The islands were populated with everything from dinosaurs to hippopotamuses. (Is that a real word?)
Today was my birthday, and Ms. Scholtens brought in a Rice Krispie treat for all of us - and all of the students sang Happy Birthday to me! I enjoyed that more than I can tell you! I also received a lovely bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums, and a card. Thanks!
In the afternoon, after the DK children had gone home, the kindergarten students practiced their Zoo Phonics alphabet, learned about how salmon head back to the stream where they were born, and worked on the concepts of above and below. If you have a chance to use direction words with your student, please do - they can always use more practice. On Monday, I will be sending home a game for you to play with them, using direction words. The direction words are: inside, outside, above, below, over, under, top, middle, bottom, before, after, between, right and left.
On Monday, we will learn about Adam and Eve and how sin entered the world. We should also be receiving some mail from Mission Mike, so be sure to ask your child about how he is doing in South Africa!
I hope all of you have a wonderful, restful weekend.
