This week we are studying water and listening for the sound of Ww.
Our table activities include water play with sponges and cups and boats, making puddles of colored water with pipettes and soaking them up with cotton balls, playing "Itsy, Bitsy Spider" going down spouts (gutters).
Small group activities are making a rainy window painting and making cloud and raindrop names.
KDIs for the week are-
Alphabetic knowledge: Children identify letter names and their sounds- Listening for sounds that sound like their name and listening for sounds like Ww which is not in its name at all.
Natural and physical world: Children gather knowledge about the natural and physical world.- Observing how water can be moved from place to place-carried in a cup, soaked up by a sponge or cotton ball. How water changes its shape.
Jesus Time- This week we are hearing about Jesus' ascension. Jesus had appeared to his disciples and others many times in the 40 days after his resurrection. He was on the beach one morning while his disciples were out fishing, just like they used to do before. They weren't having much luck. So he called out to have them put their net down on the other side. When Peter realized it was Jesus, he through off his coat and waded back to shore. After they had eaten, Jesus called Peter over and asked him three times if he loved him. Peter replied that, "Yes, Lord I love you!" Jesus asked him to feed his lambs and sheep. When the time came for Jesus to return to heaven, the disciples and others were gathered around him on a hill outside Jerusalem. Jesus gave them their mission- Go and tell the whole world about me! I will always be with you until the end of the world! As he raised his hands to bless them, he was lifted up into the sky and the disciples stood there watching until a cloud hid him from view. As the disciples were staring up, two angels appeared and reassured them that Jesus would come back the same way he went up. May God keep us in His word and in His grace until He returns!!
