Three year old preschool for October 11 and 13

Welcome to our week! We are looking at water this week!
Water starts with a double u. One of the only letters that doesn't have its sound in its name!
We looked at big and little Ww, said its name and its sound and then we dove in!!

Some of the KDIs we are concentrating on this week are-

Predicting: Children predict what they expect will happen- We looked at different items and predicted whether they would sink or float.

Experimenting: Children experiment to test their ideas.- Then we put those items in water to see if our predictions came true.

Diversity: Children understand that people have diverse characteristics, interests, and abilities - Two of our read alouds this week come from different experiences and cultural backgrounds.

Jesus Time- This week we are learning the story of Joseph. He was his father's favorite, because of that, his brothers didn't like him, they threw him in a pit and sold him as a slave. He was taken far from his home and then was unjustly sent to prison. He stayed faithful to God and God gave him the ability to tell the meanings of dreams. He told a baker and a steward the meaning of their dreams while they were in prison and their dreams came true! When Pharaoh had some strange dreams, the steward remembered Joseph. Joseph told Pharaoh his dreams and their meanings. Pharaoh was so impressed, he put Joseph second in command of all Egypt. God made things work out for Joseph and as we continue the story, we see God's hand even more!

Books- "Umbrella" by Taro Yashima, "Come On, Rain" by Karen Hesse and "The Rain Came Down" by David Shannon are our books this week.

We are having a field trip Wednesday at 9:30 to Erwin's Orchard in South Lyon. The cost is $7.50 per person. All are welcome even if you haven't yet signed up. I understand from someone who has been commuting from South Lyon that it is best to stay on the highways, 275 and 96 and not go on surface roads as some are closed for construction. Should be a beautiful day for some apple picking!!

Have a terrific week!
