Our KDI for the week is drawing conclusions- Children draw conclusions based on their experiences and observations. This week we are going to take a look at, taste, feel and observe apples. Are they all the same color? What is the same about every apple? What is different? What other fruits are similar to apples? Asking and answering and thinking about apples!
Table Activities- This week our table activities include apple printing, an apple sensory bin, mini apple orchards, apple pie play dough, sorting apples and other apple play!
Small Group- This week we will dissect apples, add Aa is for apple to our journal and do some apple tasting.
Large Group- We'll have fun tossing some apples, dancing with apples and playing with apples and hay bales.
Books of the Week- "Ten Apples Up On Top" by Dr. Suess and "The Apple Pie Tree" by Zoe Hall.
Bible Story- This week we zoom ahead in time. Noah and his family had children and their children had children and the earth became populated again. One man named Abram had great faith in God. God asked him to move to a different place, set apart from his family. Abram didn't know where God was leading him, but he believed that God would take care of him and do what's best, so he followed. Abram traveled with his wife, Sarai, and his nephew Lot and family. Abram and Sarai had no children of their own. When Abram was settled in the new land that God had led him to, God showed him the stars and told him his offspring would outnumber them. Abram was confused, he and Sarai had no children and they were pretty old. God promised that they would have a child of their own. God was faithful and kept his promise, even though Sarai laughed at the idea of having a child in her old age. When Abraham and Sarah (God changed their names slightly) had a son, Isaac, Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90. Isaac means 'laughter', to remind Sarah and Abraham that God keeps his promises!
