Last week, we learned a lot! First, we introduced the letter J! Check out these favorite "J" videos of the kids... they would love to see them at home, too!
We learned about exercise for health. This just seems to flow with the New Year's Resolutions, but also is important because in the winter we tend to slow down. One of the exercises we discussed was "jump" which begins with J. The children came up with their own, like skiing and basketball. They also stated their favorite, which is on the sheet from that day.
On January 5, we learned about the number 5. January starts with J, so this day just worked out great for two of our subjects!
We also celebrated Deeken's 3rd birthday today!
Next, we spoke about joy. This is a Christian message, but also an everyday message. We learned the song, Joy in my Heart, which I sent the words home with so you can sing at home. We continue to sing this song many days of the week. We only learned the first verse to keep it simple for now. If you don't know this song, check out this link! Kittens are singing Joy in My Heart which is cute, but we will also be learning about kittens later this month.
On Friday, we learned about the color blue. Everyone wore blue. We are often using blue to color our pictures, so point that out or better yet, ask, "What color is this?" Point out blue wherever you notice it.
We colored a picture of Blue from Blue's Clues and glued her to a paper bag. I then set out several blue things, like yarn, stickers, and pictures from magazines on a table. I also put out some items that were not blue. The children took turns finding 5 blue clues from the table (see how we incorporated 5 into our lesson about blue?).
