This week in Jesus Time we are using Peaceful Problem Solving, and we are learning about friends. God made each of us, and He is our best friend.
We are adjusting to our new school year, learning about our friends and our daily schedule. In our classroom we have a picture schedule to help the children understand our day, and so that they know that someone who loves them comes after story and music to pick them up or we have lunch at school.
We enjoyed having our hands painted, and drawing a self-portrait.
We easel painted, and learned how to use one color at a time, and to wipe off the paint brush to eliminate drips.
We made circle collages using bingo dabbers, stickers, foam shapes, and tubes to make circle prints in paint.
We were circle detectives and found circles around our school, and we practiced drawing them on the iPad.
We used paint rollers to paint on bubble wrap and make a picture called "Lots of Spots".
We played in the block and lego area,played with the trains, and built Mr. Potato Heads.
We played with the play dough. Playing with play dough helps us strengthens our hand muscles and we are learning to work together.
We have shells to investigate with the magnifying glass at our Science Center.
We had fun in the dramatic play area. When children play in the dramatic play area it allows them to construct the world as they see it, act out feelings and emotions in a comfortable setting, role play real life situations, practice language social skills, and interact with other children in an informal setting.
We read books and put puzzles together.
We played with the light table.
We played with the cars.
