During Jesus time today we worked on a little emergent reader entitled See Me Obey. We learned how Noah trusted God's Word to build the ark and followed God's lead. He trusted that the Lord would keep His promise to save him. We can also trust God's promises and we have hope that we will have eternal life in heaven. It was fun for the students to add details to the pictures and highlight some important sight words as well. Also we watched a special video with a song to help us practice our memory work for tomorrow. Please help your child learn "Trust in the Lord with all your heart." Proverbs 3:5
We continued another rotation of literacy centers and thematic centers in the morning. We also made an analysis of our August weather graph and noticed that most of our school days in August have been sunny. We worked on the meaning of the words "most" and "least". I had to point out that 0 is less than 2 and so the least kind of weather was snowy. Later we also worked on discriminating Mm with Nn. The number of points and curves does make a difference. I have noticed a few children think lowercase m has 3 curves and lowercase n has 2. Some others think that an N is written just like M. We are working hard to correct this discrimination error. Later in the afternoon the students continued to practice locomotor movements in the gym. We also worked on control and balance. We used different pathways to move around the gym, such as straight or curved paths. Then we would freeze. At other times we would try to balance on specified body parts on gym spots. This was difficult for some students as I also included right and left directions. For instance, each child would have to freeze and balance the right hand and the right foot on the gym spot. Another time each would have to balance just one knee, etc. This is also a good game to help children learn to listen, remember, and follow directions. Having a freeze game helps to develop self-control. After gym the students went on a 3D shape hunt. We found countless cylinders around our school. What was more difficult to find were cubes. Most of the shapes that students thought were cubes were actually flat square shapes or rectangular prisms. We built a cube out of 6 squares to help the students understand the concept. I also showed them a video about 3D shapes. Comments are closed.
