Our school day began when I had K start gluing sequins to her letter "M" on a piece of paper - she chose white today...probably because we were all out of pink paper. :o)
It took her quite awhile to glue them on, but in the meantime I worked with D on his Phonics, reading Grandfather Frog and Thinking Skills. At one point I had to run upstairs to change C (she didn't nap at all this morning) :o( and when I returned D was helping K with the rest of the gluing. It's so nice to see them working together...I'm seeing it happen more often & I LOVE IT!
His Bible story today was about Peter denying Jesus 3 times before the rooster crowed - something Jesus had told Peter he would do, but Peter didn't believe he could do it. D and I had a good talk about not denying Jesus in our own lives. It's so good to be able to have these conversations with him and my prayer for him is that he continues to grow in his relationship with Jesus as the years go by.
An activity to go along with his story was to talk about roosters - crowing at dawn usually when the sun rises. We're thankful we don't have a rooster in our yard waking us up! ;o) He had to draw a picture of the rooster and did a great job drawing his rooster freehand while looking at one from in a picture in one of K's little books. The picture in the book had a lot of little chicks around the rooster and D wanted to draw one in his picture, too.
I love the feet of the rooster!
K's Bible story today was about Elisha and the widow with sons who had little oil left in her jar and who was very poor. Elisha told her to collect empty jars and God allowed the oil to keep flowing from her jar to fill all the empty jars and she sold them to take care of her and her sons.
K was delighted that she was able to act out "pouring oil" today and pour using the pitcher all by herself! We used water for the oil and she filled 8 cups before her "oil" ran out. I had her go get more cups from her play kitchen and try to fill them, but obviously she couldn't unless I refilled the pitcher (which I did not do). We then talked about how it was miracle that the lady in the Bible story could keep pouring oil from the jar - God allowed the jar not to run out of oil!
She had trouble telling me the sound of "M" today but she will tell me the letter name...we're working on it.
D didn't do any math yet today because I checked the tracking link this morning for his new books and found that they're "out for delivery today." YEAH! So we're waiting for the brown truck to come by and deliver the books & new computer game. D wanted to do "tasty math" again but I told him another day...
