Opposites and Oceans


From the Teachers:
March 24, 2017
3’s/4’s Program
This week in Prek 3-4 we learned about opposites. We learned that opposites are things that are different from each other, they are contrasting in some way.  On Monday we talked about the opposites hot and cold. Students sorted pictures by whether they are hot or cold.  We also played a game of follow the leader, but students had to do the opposite of what the teacher was doing. 
Students made day and night pictures, sorted items based on living or non- living, we learned about long and short items as well.  We read many stories, and played several games to help us remember what opposites are. 
Students were able to weigh items in the math and science center and decide whether they are heavy or light.  In our sensory bin we played with white rice and black beans, we searched for pandas hiding in the bins.  Our students showed a great understanding of opposites! 
On Friday we enjoyed some extra outdoor play time, as well as practiced our fire, tornado and earthquake drills.  We learned our final letter of the alphabet this week.  From now on we will cover a couple of letters per week as a review.  Students will be asked to identify the letter within the context of words, they will be asked to identify the letter sound, as well as the sign for each letter.  We have also learned to sign the entire alphabet as well as "Now I know my ABC's next time won't you sing with me"
This week in bible stories, we used our daily devotional.  
Monday-We learned to pray for others.  James 5:16
Tuesday- We learned that God sends rain.  Psalm 147:8
Wednesday- We learned not to complain. 
Philippians 2:14
Thursday- We learned that we should help the weak.  Thessalonians 5:14
Friday-  God makes good things happen, even when we lose.  Romans 8:28
2’s Program
This week in the two's room we talked about the oceans and the animals that live there. On Monday we wrapped our feet in bubble wrap and walked on paint to make our background for our bulletin board. On Tuesday we made starfish using bubble wrap on our hands. On Wednesday we made octopi and used honey nut cheerios for the suction cups on the tentacles. We also got to eat some cheerios! On Thursday we worked on tracing lines and our name. We also used celery to make fish scales on paper fish. On Friday, we traced our lines and names again and then went outside to enjoy the beautiful warm weather!
The Bible story from Pray and Play Bible 2
This week’s Bible story was David and Goliath

FAITH-LIFE RESOURCES
From the Bible: Genesis 1:6-22

And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”

And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.

20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
