D's Bible story was about Jesus cleaning out the temple of all the money changers. We talked about what God's house is really intended for...worship...not making $ like a store. His science reading was about keeping your body clean (general hygeine) and he added that he should put bad things in it like smoking or bad drugs. I agreed with him! He also said he should eat the healthy things...carrots, apples, protein like cheese, etc. (We've been working lately on trying more foods - it's coming slowly!) His activity was to clean a dirty penny and compare it with an already clean one...thankfully we have an abundance of pennies in the junk drawer so finding two opposite ones wasn't a problem this morning. :o)
We finished reading aloud the book about Danny Meadow Mouse - the last chapter was about his escape from Reddy Fox because Reddy had lost his temper. We had a fun discussion about losing your temper/anger...something we all need to work on!
K learned more about Solomon today and how the people rejoiced the temple was built and then we read about how Solomon eventually worshiped idols (which K learned is wrong). To act out being happy about the temple being built - K chose an instrument (tambourine was her choice) and she danced around the room while we sang a few songs (Jesus Loves Me, Praise Him All the Little Children). After we were done, Drew (who was at the computer during that time) said, "Mommy, You have a pretty voice." What a sweetie! :o) To act out the story about Solomon worshiping the idols K had to say, "No, No, Solomon, You should worship God!"
She completed her letter hide'n'seek page choosing to find the K's at the top and match the uppercase to lowercase letters at the bottom - she reviewed the I-L and mixed up only the lowercase i with the lowercase l.
I'm excited about how much her writing skills have grown over the past few months. We're not working on any letters or numbers right now, just lines, circles, etc. but she's doing well and it's so much fun to watch the progress!
Oh, she is wearing clothes...her t-shirt, underwear and her purple tutu outfit this morning. I have since made her take it off and wear pants & a sweatshirt like a normal person in the winter. She then chose to put her Snow White dress over her sweatshirt & pants. She's so funny!
C didn't nap well this morning so she was downstairs with us most of our school time. She screams whenever she's confined in the colored gate now, so I've opened it and used it as a barrier between the school side of the basement & the play side of the basement. She's free to crawl within the school area which usually doesn't have too much on the floor except her toys and our feet. :o) She discovered the cardboard blocks today & loved tossing them around. She also made it up the first step of the stairs before I caught her...guess we'll be gating the steps at the bottom now, too! Oh boy..a weekend project for daddy tomorrow!
