Our KDI for the week is Alphabetic Knowledge- Children identify letter names and their sounds. We will work on both names and sounds this week. We will continue to work on both upper case and lower case letters.
Table Activities- This week our table activities include a letter sensory bin, letter dot painting, letter clay mats, magnet letters, foam sticky letters, letter beads, letter bubble bath and letter stamping.
Small Group- Our small group activities this week include unscrambling and gluing our names, matching the letter to the initial sound of items, adding ourselves to our journal, ie. Nn is for Nancy.
Large Group- This week we will make our bodies into letter shapes, have a letter scavenger hunt, draw letters with sidewalk chalk and do a letter dance.
Books of the Week- "Chicka-Chicka Boom Boom by Bill Martin and John Archambault and "Aa, You're Adorable" by Buddy Kaye, Fred Wise and Sidney Lippman.
Bible Story- Our Bible Story this week is the Great Catch of Fish. Jesus had been preaching on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. The crowds began to press in on him, so he asked some fishermen who were there cleaning their nets to let him stand in one of their boats and preach. They pushed out from shore and Jesus continued teaching and preaching. When he was finished, he told the fishermen to let their nets out. The fishermen told Jesus it was a useless idea. They fished at night, in fact, they had fished all night and caught nothing. Peter, one of the fishermen, said that since Jesus said to do it, they would, but he wasn't hopeful. They put out their nets and caught so many fish that their nets started to break! They signaled their partners on shore to come and help them!
Peter was overwhelmed! He realized he was standing in front of the Messiah and he fell to his knees! "Go Away from me Lord, for I am a sinner!", he told Jesus. Jesus told him to stand and that he would be catching men with the Gospel instead of fish with a net!
Jesus didn't choose the smartest, richest, strongest or most influential people to be his disciples! He chose fishermen, tax collectors, even a zealot!! Ordinary people to spread the news that Jesus is the Messiah! Ordinary people like us! We can be fishers of mankind too!
