Exploring the Children's Bible

After reading  a story from the Children's Bible to prepare for Ash Wednesday,
we left a few copies out in the classroom and this is what happened...

We asked these girls what they were doing???

They answered with giggles, " We are looking for good deeds in here!"

"Miss, can I use that Bible to build something for Jesus?"

Incredible moments happening in Kindergarten....... we are so proud!

Pancake Tuesday

The children really enjoyed eating pancakes at the church hall!















Our parent volunteers were fantastic and we are truly grateful!

After a morning like that, our grateful hearts are ready for Lent!

I wonder if the results would be different if we used warm water?

We made predictions.

Plan, Do, Review ...

At one of our Learning Centers last week, the children were challenged to make a plan on paper and then build it with a variety of blocks and materials found in our classroom.  They were definitely up to that challenge. 

  

This activity was a great opportunity to use their planning skills and give purpose to their play. Many children used their problem solving skills to share materials, modify building plans that were not working and ask for help when needed. We have collected their "blueprints" and made a book of building plans. I wonder what they will do next........

Valentine's Day is around the corner!

The students are looking forward to Valentine's Day on February 14th.

We have prepared our Valentine mailboxes. Thank you to everyone who brought in shoe boxes for this craft! For all those who would like to bring in valentines for their classmates, there are 31 children in our class. It is easier for the children to pass out cards that are addressed "To my friend" rather than each individual name. Just a reminder that our school encourages non-food item treats. Some ideas of non-food item treats are stickers, pencils, tattoos, straws, notepads... Thank you so much for your support in this matter.
