D's Bible story was about Jesus walking on the water. He drew a picture of the boat (some of the disciples in it) and then used glue to make waves as the water around the boat. When the glue dried it was "puffy" and looked "wet" since it dried clear and shiny. D had given me a bit of a fit as he wanted to just color the waves not use the glue, but I told him we were following directions...one of those things I always wonder if I'm doing the right thing or if I should let him do his own thing. The teacher in me stresses about following directions correctly now in the little things so that it carries over into his life in the "big things" one day...
K reviewed letter "K" and we read the "K" page in her Big Thoughts book. It was all about kindness, doing kind things for others so we had an interesting discussion about kindness and how she can be kind. :o) I love those moments with her. She always begs for more activities and most days I give her an "extra" one while I continue helping D. Some days she'll cut out the letter we're working on - kind of like her counting book. Other days, I'll pick out a coloring page. And the rest of the days, she opts to get on the computer and play a few computer learning games.
