We looked at the word "Dress-up" today and at each letter that makes a sound.
Table activities are dressing up, using clay to make clothes or faces on playdoh mats and playing with paper dolls.
Our small group activities are mask making and decorating t-shirts.
We danced to "Late Last Night" by Joe Scruggs and we'll dance more, pretending to be different things!
Books for the week - "Hats Off to You!" by Karen Beaumont, "I Like Old Clothes" by Mary Ann Hoberman, and "Princess! Fairy! Ballerina!" by Bethanie Deeney Murguia.
Our KDIs for this week are-
Gross-motor skills: Children demonstrate strength, flexibility, balance, and timing in using their large muscles. - As we dance and pretend to be other things like a swimmer or ballerina, we move to the beat and try to keep our balance.
Fine-motor skills: Children demonstrate dexterity and handeye coordination in using their small muscles. - A lot of this in use this week, playing with clay, peeling foam stickers, drawing, buttoning, taking dress up clothes off and on.
Jesus Time- This week we continue the story of Moses. Moses was raised as an Egyptian prince, but he never forgot that he was an Israelite. When he saw one of his countrymen being mistreated by an Egyptian slavemaster, he took matters into his own hands and killed him. Then he had to flee the country. In the countryside, he met some shepherdesses who took him to their home. He married one of them, Zipporah and became close to his father-in-law, Jethro. Moses also became a shepherd and one day, at the ripe old age of 80, he spotted a bush that was on fire, but not burning up. As he went over to investigate, the LORD called out to him. Letting him know that he was standing on holy ground, God called on him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. After refusing several times, Moses finally accepted the job. He went to visit Egypt and Pharaoh. God used Moses to save the Israelites. It took a lot of courage and faith to do Moses' job. Pharaoh refused to let the Israelites go and God sent ten plagues to convince Pharaoh to do what he asked him, through Moses, to do. Pharaoh often relented and then changed his mind at the last minute.
God used Moses to save the Israelites, God uses Jesus to save us. God also calls us to do somethings that we may not want to do, He will give us the strength, courage and faith to accomplish what he has set before us to do!
