Week 21 {2/7 - 2/11}

This week our Bible Stories were John the Baptist, John Baptizes Jesus, and Jesus is Tempted.

For Language we reviewed our letters and for Math we reviewed numbers and colors. For colors we talked about the primary colors and the secondary colors. I put cool whip in three zip locks and added food coloring, red to one, blue to one and yellow to one. Then I added a different color so we made the secondary colors of purple, oragne and green. The girls really liked that and thought it was cool!

Our God's World theme this week was Our Bodies. We talked all about our body parts, both inside and out. The girls found their heartbeats, and we played Simon Says with them doing a bunch of different things with all their body parts. I also traced their bodies on large paper and they colored themselves.

Our Character Trait this week was Kindness and our Bible Memory Verse was 1 Thessalonians 5:15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other.

Week 20 {1/31 - 2/4}

This week our Bible Stories were: Baby Jesus; The Wise Men; Escape to Egypt; and The Boy Jesus.

For Language we did Mazes, The Letter Z and then we did a couple review activities of the Letters. One was I would draw a letter on their back and see if they could guess it... that didn't work out to well! : )

For Math we worked on Left and Right, and also Top Middle, Bottom, Above, Below, Under and Over.

Our God's World Theme this week was Communication. We talked about what Communication was, Verbal Communication, Non-Verbal Communication and Communicating with God. One of the books we had from the Library had all the signs for the letters so we practiced those. I also had a video of all the signs for the letters and the girls really enjoyed watching that and doing them along with the video.

Our Character Trait this week was Joyfulness and our Bible Memory Verse was Proverbs 15:13 A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.

Week 19 {1/24 - 1/28}

Well... the girls had the flu... these pretty much sum up our week...

Week 18 {1/17 - 1/21}

This week our Bible Stories were: Jonah Runs from God, then we did a Old to New Testament Transition and talked about the difference, Zechariah and Elizabeth, and Mary's Surprise. (Would have been great if I looked ahead and we just would have done these stories at Christmas, but oh well... it's good to review!)

For Language we did Letters X and Y and we worked on Opposites and Sequencing.

For Math we did More, Less and Equal which was a lot of fun. They each rolled dice and then we would count the dots and whoever rolled more got a raisin. They really like that game. We also discussed the concepts of Before and After and also Measuring.

Our God's World theme this week was Cooking. We talked all about Kitchen Safety, and basically did a show and tell of all the different kitchen supplies and what each one does and what it is used for then then discussed what different techniques are for (ie beating, melting, peeling). Then on the last day we picked out a recipe from the Toddler Cookbook we got from the Library and we baked mini Banana Muffins. They were very proud and enjoyed the muffins very much!

Our Character Trait this Week was Humility. Our Bible Memory Verse was James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.
