Preschool, snow days, lollipops and dinosaurs!

What crazy weather weeks! We are still getting some learning in and hopefully sparking some curiousity!
Here's what we did in our last two days of preschool!

Last Thursday we talked about the Ll sound and the word lollipop.

For our table activites we made and decorated paper lollipops or made playdoh lollipops on lollipop sticks and pushed them into foam boards.

For our small group we used dissolve lollipop liquid that we had put into warm water at planning to do some color mixing. We learned that yellow and blue make green, red and blue make purple and yellow and red make orange and when you mixed all the colors together, you got interesting colors and effects.

Jesus Time- We heard about Jesus first public miracle. Jesus, his family and many of his disciples were invited to a wedding in the town of Cana. In those days, weddings lasted for a week and everyone was fed and provided for for the entire week. At this wedding, the week was not over and they had run out of wine. Jesus' mother Mary told Jesus that this had happened. He was waiting for the right time to do something for them. Mary told the servants to do whatever he told them to. Jesus told the servants to fill the large water jugs and take a cup of water to the master of the feast. When the man tasted the wine, he was surprised. It was delicious. It was the custom to serve the best wine at the beginning of the wedding celebration and here they had saved their best for last. Jesus showed his love and his power and it increased his disciples faith in him.

Books of the week- "Many Luscious Lollipops" by Ruth Heller and "The Big Red Lollipop" by Rukhsana Khan.

This week we played with dinosaurs and the sound and shape of the letter Dd.

Table activities were playing with dinosaurs and making scenes with dinosaur playdoh.

For small group we placed dinosaurs in trays of baking soda and made vinegar "lava" with pipettes.

Jesus Time- We learned about Jesus and the great catch of fish. Jesus had been preaching on the shore of the Sea of Galilee when he asked several fishermen to take him out on their boat. When they were out at sea, Jesus told them to let their nets out. The fishermen let him know they had been fishing all night and had caught nothing. They let out their nets and caught so many fish their nets began to break and their boats began to sink! Those fishermen, Peter, Andrew, James and John became Jesus disciples. They became fishers of men, letting people know the saving message of Jesus Gospel! Jesus loves us and died for us and rose again so we too can rise!

Books of the week were "Dinosaur Roar" by Paul Stickland, " How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?" by Jane Yolen and "Dinosaurs" by Gail Gibbons.

Hopefully things will get back to normal this next week! Stay warm and safe!!
