Did you know there are seeds you can eat?
On circle we worked with a seed and plant matching lesson with which we matched picture cards of seeds with picture cards of its plant. We matched and learned the names of fennel, cumin, pumpkin, sunflower, flax, poppy, sesame, and mustard seeds. All of these seeds are seeds that are edible.
The children are excited to work with a new water color lesson on the art shelf. We are excited to see what works of art they create.
Today was our first day of VBS and it was fun! We met some new friends, sang some new songs and visited areas of the church that we have never seen. Ms. Kari Ann introduced the word of the day a faith. She told us that faith is believing even if you can’t see it (faith). It’s like a muscle, you have to practice it to make it strong.
We focused on the country Uganda which is in Africa. We made a musical instrument called a thumb piano. We read the story, A Good Trade. Which is the story of a boy who trades a flower for a pair of shoes. We then traced patterns on old blue jeans and cut them out. We are helping to make shoes. And during game time we learned and practiced playing a game called mancala.
For snack we tried dried mangos and coconut. Some friends enjoyed the mangos a lot more.
The children can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store.
Please see our class door for more photos.
VBS was a lot of FUN! The children learned a new song, played Mancala, made a thumb piano and cut patterns from the jeans they brought so they can be put together to make shoes for children in Uganda. Ask your child to tell you about their fun morning. We will be going to VBS again tomorrow morning at 9:00. Children who need to eat breakfast should be here no later than 8:30.
Schools Out For Summer!!!
Just Kidding!! Our summer theme will be “How Does Your Garden Grow?” To kick of our theme we wanted to know if the children knew what a garden was. Here is what they had to say…
· A garden is grass.
· A garden has a shovel.
· A garden has plants.
· A garden has bugs.
So with this in mind, we look forward to learning about plants we eat, how they grow and much, much more.
Welcome back, we hope everyone had a good weekend.
Did you know that June is the sixth month of the year? While working on the calendar this morning we learned that June is the sixth month of the year as well as month that is in the summer season.
On circle we learned that a garden grows by planting seeds. A seed has three important things it needs to grow: water, air, and light. It must have all three things for it to grow.
Reminder Splash Days begin this Friday, June 10, 2016.
