PRESCHOOL (3): Miss Lokensgard
W e are in full swing of things in the younger preschool room. We are enjoying learning new songs at circle time and Bible time. We are adjusting well to centers and the routine of the classroom. Our favorite time of course is play-time.
This week we are learning about the letter Ll, circles, the color red and the number 2. This month we are also focusing on what emotions are and what it means to be a good friend.
At the activity center we are practicing our one-on-one counting, finding the letter Ll and marking it with a clothespin, and playing an emotions game.
Our STEM activity on Wednesday is painting with leaves, pinecones, acorns, and bark. We will see what imprints they make with paint and paper.
On Thursday we will be making people with different emotions and how that makes them feel.
On Friday we will be measuring ourselves to see how many pencils tall we are.

Memory treasure is Let the little children come to me Mark 10:14.

Genesis 1:1

So far, so good. Everyone is beginning to figure out the routine. We're adding some more classes to the schedule. Last week, we were able to learn about God creating the world in 6 days, including his more special creations Man and Woman. This week we will learn a little more on how God created Adam and Eve, as well as how God will save them when they mess up God's perfect world. We will memorize at least 1 memory treasure a week. This week our memory treasure is John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son."
For Geography we are going to look at "Shapely Minnesota". We will get a chance to look at and explore what our Science and Social studies book will help us learn.
In Music, we are learning our songs that we will sing in the churches.
During Reading, Kindergarten will review all their letters to make sure we remember how to make them, and what sounds each one says. 1st grade will review some CVC words and memory words. They will have some simple text to get back into reading.
In Math, 1st grade will take a look at measurement. Kindergarten will review their numbers 1-20. We might need rest time more this week than last week, but I know they will do great 😊
