POEMS

I'M GLAD I'M ME
     By: Author Unknown

No one looks the way I do 
I have noticed that it's true
No one walks the way I walk No one talks the way I talk 
No one plays the way I play
No one says the things I say,
I am special, 
I am ME
There is no one I would 
Rather be
Than Me!

VIDEOS



Watched some videos on our bible app about Jesus is Risen and going to Heaven.

Valentine Activities

VALENTINE ACTIVITIES 

This week we will work on several Valentine activities to celebrate Valentine's Day.  

BOOKS



Some of the books we used this week 

ARTS & CRAFTS



Placed a cardboard heart on a paper and Kanani painted around it with a cotton ball that was held with a clothes pin.  Once the paint dried I removed the cardboard heart to show her the finished work.



Dartanian loves painting and this work was great for his motor skills.



Made a Valentine tree heart with their thumbprints, gotta say I love the way it came out.



Put some shaving cream in some oil pans and placed several dots of food coloring in the cream and swirled it around to get a marble effect. The kids then placed some paper on the shaving cream and wiped the excess off.  Once dry cut the paper in heart shapes and taped them to the wall.  Hearts came out so cute with the the marbled effect.

ACTIVITIES 



Made some fizz hearts for the kids to play with.  Mixed together baking soda with some drops of food coloring and water and placed in the freezer overnight.  In the morning I dumped the hearts out in a bin and gave each one a bottle with vinegar in it.


Set the bin on the floor and the kids quickly started squirting vinegar on the hearts, it was fun watching the hearts fizz.


Filled a tub with colored pasta and placed several items representing Valentine's in it.  The kids enjoyed searching for the items and playing with the pasta.  Kept them pretty busy for awhile, I even gave them measuring cups and bowls for them to dump and fill.

BAKING


Made heart shaped brownies for the kids to enjoy this week.  They were a big hit with everyone.

It has been a fun week of lots of activities.  

GOD BLESS!

GROWING
     By: Author Unknown

All bundled up tight 
A tiny plant grows
Needing water and light

I'll plant it in soil
Let it catch the sun's glow 
Then water it gently
And watch the plant grow
