 Weds. Jan 25:

We had lots of fun exploring an
obstacle course in gym class today

HOPPING ON 2 FEET

Hop on 2 Feet then 1 then 2 then 1.....
like hop scotch





rolling



sit and spin




ball throwing










weaving through the orange cones








walking on the line
like a balance beam



some friends didn't get to marble paint Monday
so they did it today

Ivan marble painting


Doing an art project




So sorry I missed Monday, but you can find the pictures from Monday above:)

Today we worked on developing fine motor skills, which are a building block to being able to complete many things. From holding a pencil correctly to tying shoes(a later skill).  Finger plays are a fun and easy way to develop fine motors skills.  Today we introduce the names of important fingers---the ones that help us hold a crayon correctly. Thumb, pointer and tall man(middle).  Then we learned a song to help us remember the job of each of those fingers.
Crayon Song
Pick up a crayon, pick up a crayon, this is easy to do
pick up a crayon, pick up a crayon, I just tell my fingers what to do
My thumb is bent, pointer to the tip, tall man uses his sides
I tuck my last 2 fingers in and take them for a ride

Now I'm holding it just right, but not too tight, every finger knows what to do
And now I have a big surprise for you, a big surprise for you
Let's drop it and do it again!

Also during Jesus time we talked about miracles.  We talked about what a miracle is and that Jesus was able to perform many miracles.  The 1st miracle we learned about was.... Jesus feeds 5,000!
We also talked about praying to Jesus when we want to thank Him for our day or ask him for His help.
The children then had a chance to share a prayer request.  Many of the children had a prayer request and I was excited to hear the children willing to share and listen to their thoughtfulness.

Have a wonderful rest of your week!!
