Review and Writing
Wednesday Miss Paula's children were divided between Miss Tracy and Miss Andrea's classes. Miss Paula took Ms. Jamie's class.

Charlotte, in the pink below, knew that the change of classes had something to do with "make-up" and told her mom I wasn't there because I had forgotten to put my makeup on……

We began our day with lots of review, then wrote an "I see …." story and the Preppers were quite good at composing and reading their work.




The children are painting a Mary and Martha picture


Lincoln is working hard on matching first sounds and pictures

Working on our skills sheet





The Children were so excited to be back at school and looked forward to playing together


Miss Jamie found a new table, a doll house and a Hot Wheels ramp for our shared classroom









Dylan, with a little help from his friend, Owen created a "L T B K X smoke stack train factory" 


In Minds in Motion, we invited Miss Kelly's 3's ~and our class became the instructors













Our story was About Mary and Martha. Jesus came to their home. Martha was distracted by many things to do while Mary sat at the feet of Jesus………





A big thanks to Charlotte's mom who volunteered our make-up week snack. 

Hoping there can't possibly be any more missed days…….

Be Blessed- Miss Paula

Rainbows!


Welcome Spring!!!











Following our pledge, we sing a song about the Alphabet each morning. We also count to 100 following along on our 100s chart!







Playing "Around the World" 
At the beginning of the year we used letters, now we are using our sight words…The children sit in a circle, one child standing behind another - I hold up a word and the first to read it gets to move clockwise to the next child. If the child sitting is the first to name the word, the child standing  takes their place on the floor and the "winner" moves one child over and stands behind his next opponent. 

We focused on color words and rainbows……….








Hunter is reading our "I Can Read Colors" poem!


Rainbow colored show and tell…















We grouped our show and tell by colors and put them on a ten frame to count…

2 blue


3 green


1 orange



2 yellow


4 red

3 purple



Rayna playing school with Dane! She's pointing out the orange on the front of his Dragon outfit!


With a partner,  or group we had races with our magnetic letters~ putting them in A B C order!











Spinning, jumping, pressing, stomping, balancing……
Minds in Motion












Lot's of time to play…. 
 I'm a Pirate Princess!

" Tangled, " behind her tower...

 














                                             

(if the video of the Prepper's prayer doesn't play, you might be able to locate it on "my videos youTube" under "L.A.P. Preppers recite the Lord's Prayer") You techies, help!! I tried Vimeo and my youtube and about 2 hours of effort-if you are familiar with google blogger and have tips, PLEASE let me know!)

Our Bible story focused on our theme of amazing Jesus. He gave us an example of how to pray~The Lord's Prayer~ which we recited each day before our snack.  We used objects to remind us of parts of the  prayer: an earth-to remind us to bring a little heaven down here by our kindness, a shirt and a piece of fruit to remind us to be thankful for our provisions and to know He will give us what we need. A bandaid to remind us we can take our hurts to Him. And a heart to remind us to tell Jesus we are sorry when we make mistakes, to say sorry to anyone we have hurt and to forgive others!

May the Lord richly bless you this spring!
