On Wednesday, we learned about left and right. If you hold up your hands and point your thumbs at each other, your left hand forms an 'L'.
We practiced making an 'L' with our left hand and then we did the "Hokey Pokey" to practice. The "Hokey Pokey" was fun. When we put our "whole body" in, there was a pile up of children on the rug - laughing! Oh, to be 5 years old!
At the end of the day, I was tying a shoe for a little boy, and reminded him that I was tying the left shoe - he made the 'L' with his hand and told me it was his 'L' foot!
Please practice left and right with your student. It is not always an easy thing to keep straight for little ones!
Our Bible verse for this week comes from the book of John, Chapter 1, Verse 1.
'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.' John 1:1
The children learned that when the Bible talks about "the Word", it means Jesus. This passage teaches us that Jesus was there at the beginning of the world, that He was with God, and that He was God. The children are doing a great job of learning this verse!
I have trouble sometimes when I'm giving people driving directions. ;-)
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are very busy! The Zoophonics looks like a fun phonics program. The animals should interest the children and help them remember the letters, too!
