Mom of the Month – Meghan Grubbs

I am enjoying our days together! Your children are truly precious! We are learning about our friends, learning to practice Politeness, Example, Attitude, Respect, and Listening and growing to be beautiful PEARLS every day! We've been finding our right hand, learning to hold a pencil with a proper grip, forming numerals, sharing, reading, laughing and learning together! This week we will begin memorizing Psalm 23. Join us!

I hope you have enjoyed seeing their Wonderfully Made book last week and their Friends book this week. The children are becoming friends as they learn about one another, how to accept one another, and to think about everyone around them, not just themselves. They did an amazing job with their watercolor paintings of Amber's mountain. Each child recited the PEARL rules and celebrated by making a PEARL keychain to attach to their backpacks.

Monday we will begin our Sound of the Week Celebrations with the letter "f". This week we will be using feathers, finger painting fish, moving fast and slow, jumping like frogs, and folding and flying paper airplanes. We so enjoyed our PEARL rule fruit salad that we may even enjoy some more fresh fruit this week! Fun "f" activities you might enjoy at home would include: inviting a friend over, Family Fun Night, visiting a pet store to see fish and freezing fruit juice to make popsicles.

Our Book of the Week, The Glorious Flight, by Martin and Alice Provensen is a Caldecott Book set in the early 1900s in France and tells the true story of Louis Bleriot (pronounced "blair-yo") and the first flight across the English Channel. As we read and discuss the book our topics will be family, methods of transportation, France, England, inventions, inventors, righting a wrong and perseverance. God is the ultimate creator, inventor, so take time this week to notice and praise Him! For our special event on Thursday we will fly our paper airplanes from the balcony in the Main Entrance!

Just a couple of reminders regarding snack:

If your child brings something potentially messy for snack, (and what food is not potentially messy in the hands of a 5 year old?!) yogurt, something packed in fruit juice, something that sticks to your fingers, please send a napkin in their lunch box or snack container. We generally eat snack outside, weather permitting, so we don't have ready access to napkins when - not if ;) - we need them. However, we never know when weather or simply our schedule will require us to eat snack inside and the church has requested that our rooms in the basement remain a nut-free zone. Also there are children in our kindergarten who are seriously allergic to nuts. Therefore, please do not ever send any kind of snack containing nuts.

Looking forward to “F” week with your children!

Here are a few pictures of this week’s fun!
