September 14—September 18

This week during Jesus Time we will be learning about how God blessed Rachel and Jacob with a baby boy.  We will also be talking about how God gave us caregivers.  The Bible says, “May your father and mother be glad.”    Proverbs 23:25

Our theme for the week is: Visiting the Farm

We will be learning about life on a farm and different kinds of animals that live on a farm. 

Monday– What’s on a Farm?

Tuesday– All About Corn and Its Uses– we will be making something fun! (Picture Day)
Wednesday– Cows and Tractors (no Chapel– see Friday)

Thursday– Sheep and Butter Making! (Popcorn Day!)

Friday-  Farm Review (Chapel with Doug Larson– a special guest!)

 

We have been using our fine motor skills as we play with shaving cream!  This is a great way to get our hands and fingers ready for handwriting.  This is something that you can have the children do at home as well.  Just simply squirt regular shaving cream on the table and let them practice “writing” in it with their fingers.  We will be enjoying a variety of centers during Center Time.  We will working on learning our colors and shapes through a variety of fun activities.  We will also be playing in feed corn in our sensory tub.  As the children talk about their experiences they are expanding their vocabulary and improving their language skills.  Ask your child to tell you what they did at school each day to give them more practice. 

Our chapel project for this month is Teen Challenge of Missouri Boarding Academy.  For more information please see tcmboardingacademy.org.  Our chapel offerings (collected during chapel on Wednesday mornings) will be used to support this awesome organization.
