This week we are playing birthday. None of our three year olds have birthdays this week, but several of them have half birthdays and one birthday is at the end of the month.
Table activities are playdough birthday cakes, birthday bin, decorating a giant birthday cake and making birthday cards.
Small group activities are wrapping and unwrapping a present and making a birthday cake puzzle.
KDIs for the week are-
Reflection:
Children reflect on
their experiences.- We relate the birthday celebration to our own birthday, how old we are and how old we will be turning, what gifts we'd like to receive and what games we'd like to play.
Writing: Children write for many
different purposes.- This week we will write to make birthday cards for others!
Jesus Time- This week we are learning about Jesus' baptism, when he began his earthly ministry. Jesus went to his cousin John the Baptist to be baptized, even though he didn't really need to. John was baptizing for the forgiveness of sins and Jesus had no sin. He was baptized to fulfill the Old Testament prophecies that said he would be. When He was baptized, the heavens opened and a voice called out, "This is my Son, who I love. Listen to Him." and the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove appeared. We will get to know Jesus better and better as we hear stories of his ministry this year!
Books of the week- "Arthur's Birthday" by Marc Brown and "Corduroy's Birthday" by Don Freeman.
See you tomorrow at the Westland Library at 10am if you can make it!
See you Friday night for some hot cocoa, bedtime snacks and books from 6:30-8:00!
Have a terrific week!
Mrs. Schneck
