TODDLER PRESCHOOL: SENSE OF SIGHT, LETTER Gg, #7, REVIEW COLORS & SHAPES. This week we will learn about the sense of sight, letter Gg, #7, review colors and shapes.
Some of the items we used this week BOOKS Books we used for this week on the sense of sight (Eyes) LETTER Gg Working on the sound of Gg MATH Learning the number 7
Reviewing some numbers in 1-2-3 a slide and seek book ACTIVITIES Pointing out the eyes in the book
Made a peek-a-boo bottle with many different small objects hiding in the sand for little man to find. Color identification and matching
Went exploring inside and outside the house to see all the things little man could observe. It was lots of fun watching him go explore on his own. Before bed Dartanian grabbed the bottle filled with magnetic objects to dump and put back into the bottle. Great relaxing activity to get him calm before bed.
Went to the airport to drop my mom off, the kids enjoyed watching the planes take off and land.
Great hand eye coordination, placing the beads on the shoe laces.
His sister is studying about rivers, ponds, and streams so we filled their turtle (sand box) with water and used the slide as a pretend waterfall.
Noticed that things were a little quiet so I went to check on little man and caught him playing in the kitchen with some sweet and sour sauce he found on the counter. I asked him who did this, which he replied "I don't know?", silly little boy.
Of course I made him help clean up the mess he made.
FIELD TRIP Went to the library for story and craft time, this week we focused on the Olympics
After story time the kids enjoyed some games
Dartanian enjoyed the hula hoop games Once finished playing their games it was time for crafts, they were very excited when they completed their Olympic torches.
END OF WEEK
Had to run some errands and the kids wanted to wear their capes. Felt very protective with my two little heroes. It's been a lot of fun seeing how much Dartanian has grown and learned. He is always so eager to learn new things and explore the world around him.
MFW: LEARNING GOD'S STORY WEEK 10 This week we will learn about rivers, counting with dice, sound _ay, _ing, and long vowel sound. BOOKS A few of the books we used this week BIBLE Writing the memory verse
Discussed how when kittens are first born they are very weak and fragile and need their mother's care and protection to survive. There are times when we feel weak and scared, those are the times we need our family and friends to help us feel better. God is always there for us no matter what we are going through. He is our strength and protector. We all someone who are like the porcupines that always have their wall up and won't let anyone get close to them. They don't trust anyone and are always on the defense making hard for them to make friends. We need to be kind to people and talk to them the way God would want us to. Words have a strong impact on everyone, you can either bring someone up or tear them down. God wants us to have happy, loving, friendly heart. Show others God's love. Learned that pigeons can be trained to carry messages which are called delivery birds. Pigeons are very trustworthy birds, they normally come back to their real home, making it easy for a bird trainer to trust they will return. God wants us to be trustworthy, we should keep our promises. Making us more like him, God is faithful and we can always depend on him. BIBLE VERSE Memory Verse: Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. ~Proverbs 12:18 Gentle words bring life and health. ~Proverbs 15:4 a Your own soul is nourished when you are kind, but you destroy yourself when you are cruel. ~Proverbs 11:17 Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. ~Psalm 37:5 WORKSHEETS Number of the day

ARTS & CRAFTS
Review of part 3 of abstract art
Drawing/copying things she sees and learning to draw birds. ACTIVITIES Learning how to use words of healing instead of words that hurt
Learning about the many different styles or fashion clothes in the Bible Times
Played with water while the kids were outside. Top right picture I used the water to stimulate a waterfall, right picture is Kanani pretending to jump off a waterfall to go down into the pond. We have been reviewing colors with little man this week, so Kanani wanted to do the same activity as he was. Went and took my mom to the airport with my dad and the kids got a chance to some planes. Always pretty exciting to see the airplanes land and take off.
SCIENCE
Learning about river flow by observing the water flow in the streets from the rain.
Studying the rivers, streams, and oceans In the teacher's manual it suggested for us to use a carton but all we had on was a milk jug. It actually worked pretty good, after poking some holes on the bottom had Kanani measure to 3" for the gravel and another 3" for the sand so we would know how much to put in the jug. The jug was to big to place on top of a glass cup so we used one of the kids pails to hold the water as it filtered through the sand and gravel. We weren't completely sure that it would work but it worked out great. Made a pretend pond with a waterfall (slide) to where the kids slide down to jump into.
