Three’s Company

We made 6 spiders and 7 frogs with our fingerprints to add to our number book. To reinforce the numbers we say special number finger plays, holding up the correct number of fingers and doing the actions:

• 1, 1, this is 1. Come on one let’s have some fun.
• 2, 2, this is 2, hopping, hopping me and you.
• 3, 3, this is 3. Wave your branches like a tree.
• 4, 4, this is 4. Can you make us sweep the floor.
• 5, 5, this is 5. Squeeze them tight and take a dive.
• 6, 6, this is 6. Come with me and pick up sticks.
• 7, 7, this is 7. Come on 7 let’s go to heaven.

I’m sure you all saw the frogs we made. The children loved blowing their tongues out to catch a bug. If you look real carefully you might see the bug sticker at the end of the tongue.

We used the parachute for the first time and had a blast. We held onto the handles and sang songs while we walked around in a circle, shook it, and even hid underneath it. The next rainy day we will try it again and hopefully get some pictures.

We learned about a boy named Timothy who lived with his mother and grandmother, who taught him about God’s love. When he grew up he found out that God had sent the promised Messiah, Jesus. He was so thankful for what Jesus did he decided to become a pastor and go all over the country to tell others about the love of Jesus. The children shared what they wanted to be when they grew up. A poster is up in the hallway to share their future goals. Jelly, our Bible puppet, gave each child a card that said “Jesus loves you.” They were asked to keep it to remind them of Jesus love or give it to someone else to tell someone else about His love.
