Blog for February 6 and 8

Probably the best opposites your child knows are "yes" and "no", this week we are talking about all sorts of opposites!

Table activities this week- Painting with white paint on black paper and black paint on white paper, sorting big and little pompoms, opposite bottles, warm/cold sensory bins.

Small group activities- figuring out what the opposites are- today we felt and looked at heavy and light, tall and short, long and short, warm and cold, big and little, soft and hard, wet and dry, full and empty, new and old, thick and thin. On Thursday we will do a day and night picture.

KDIs for the week-

Vocabulary: Children understand and use a variety of words and phrases.- Lots of words mean close to the same thing-big, tall, large, etc. How do we use all these words?

Classifying: Children classify materials, actions, people, and events. - Where does each thing fit? Is it cold or warm, long or short? 

Jesus Time- This week we see that Jesus even has power over the weather. Jesus had been preaching, teaching and healing all day. He and his disciples were going to go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee for some peace. Because of the land around the Sea of Galilee, storms could whip up without warning. That is what happened this evening. Jesus was exhausted and he lay down on a cushion and fell asleep. Suddenly, a storm whipped up! The waves were crashing over the sides of the boat, the wind was gusting. The disciples thought they were going to die. Remember that the disciples were fishermen, they had experienced a storm or two in their lives, for them to be this afraid, it must have been quite a violent storm. Finally, they woke Jesus up, and asked him, "Don't you care if we die? We are about to drown!" He asked them, "Why are you so afraid? Don't you believe I can save you?" He then spoke to the storm, "Peace. Be still." 
Immediately, the wind and waves stopped. The disciples were amazed, they asked each other, "Who is this that even the wind and the rain obeys him?" He is our Savior, he is the one who not only created the wind and the rain, but he created us and he knows everything about us! How many hairs are on our heads, what dreams we have and how much we need him. He loved us enough to die for each one of us! He will always love us, even if we don't love him back.
