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.

Week 17 {1/10 - 1/14}
Finally starting to get our groove back!
Our Bible Stories this week were: Daniel Refuses the Kings Food; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego; Daniel and the Lion's Den; and Job's Faith. For the story about Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego it had suggested an activity of making friendship bracelets (3 different colored chenille stems twisted together) so we made those... however, it did not help them remember their names! Ha... but so cute to listening to them try and say them!
For Language we practiced Auditory Discrimination (I would say a sentence and something in the sentence would be "nonsense" and they had to listen and tell me what was wrong with what I said); Rhyming and the Letters V and W.
For Math we practiced Numbers 19 and 20 and went over the concept of More and Few.
Our God's World Theme was the Food and mainly going over the Four Food Groups. So we reviewed all the different groups, and talked about where food comes from. We did an activity where they cut pictures out of a grocery add and glued the pictures into the right food groups.
Our Character Trait this week was Hospitality and our Bible Memory Verse was 1 Peter 4:9 Offer hospitality to one another. Of course I had to example it and extend some hospitality and have some friends over for dinner Friday night!

Week 16 {1/3/2011 - 1/7/2011}
Well we took it easy getting back into school this week. We got back from our travels east on Sunday evening and it seriously took us 2 days to get unpacked and get everything put away!
Our Bible Stories were: The Special Book, Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall, and Queen Esther.
For Language and Math we did Letters T and U and Number 18
Our God's World Theme was "Clothing". We talked all about the different kinds of clothing, and what to wear and when. We played a game where I said we are going to go (blank) and they would tell me what they would wear. We also talked about how clothes are made and how we take care of them and then we tackled the large piles of laundry! : ) Again since I didn't have time to order the corresponding books from the library, this is what we got:
Our Character Trait this week was honesty and our Bible verse was Proverbs 12:22 The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in men who are truthful.

Week 15 {12/20 - 12/24}
This week, we took a break from the curriculum and we just focused on Christmas. We read a lot of books from the library on Christmas; I even found a video from the makers of “The Beginners Bible” about the Nativity. They colored pictures of the Joseph, Mary, Joseph and the Wise Men. I also printed some Christmas themed activity packs for them to do. We will be on Christmas Break until January 3, 2011... See you in the New Year!!
Merry Christmas
