End Of The Rainbow

I saw this on pinterest and had to try. I would definitely encourage this project for  4 year olds. Or if you really wanted to do it with the 3 know it probably won't look like this. Before we started this project I showed the class how to put one heart at a time to form a rainbow.

Faith Lesson Easter

I just love Easter, with the begining of spring its a time to start  fresh and new. Caterpillars turn into butterflies, eggs hatch and flowers grow. Easter egg hunt, bunny rabbit and a hope that Jesus is Alive. The faith lesson this month is a great resource to share the Easter story with young children. The book in our packet tell the Easter story from Mary Magdalene eyes. The story props are a great way to retell the story and encourage the kids to tell the story for you. The songs are a fun way bring the stories alive.

Pot of gold

I just love Saint Patrick's day, maybe because it also my daughters birthday :) The air is crisp the days are bright. I love all the different ideas I can use in the classroom wind, rain, rainbows, shamrocks, leprachans. So many ideas their is never enough time.

Don't be surprised if your class is full of gold glitter at the end of this activity

Using our scissor skills we cut a pot of gold

then traced our name with glue

Then sprinkled glitter to decorate our names.

March Sensory Box

Using Easter grass and gold coins the pandas love digging for treasure.

 I added paper coins with capital and lowercase letters for them to match on shamrocks.

FunShine Faith Lesson- Mana is Sweet

Bible Story Time

Using the props again we reviewed the bible story then discussed times in our life that make we don't reley on God when w should. When we are mad, or afraid.

Art: 

Manna baskets

Using the supply provided we made baskets for our manna

Each child cut the paper plate in half, colored the plate and added the honey bee stickers.

We then used the basket for our music activity.

Music and Movement - pick in' up manna 

After making our manna baskets we sang this song while picking up the manna and filling our baskets. 

Pickin up Manna sung to the paw paw patch 

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Pickin' up manna; drop it in the basket

Enough for just one day

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Come on ( child's name); pick up the manna

Enough for just one day

Funshine Faith Lesson- God sends Manna

Bible Story Time: at the beginning of each month our Good ferried Goody comes and shared with us a new lesson that's on his heart. This month we pulled out coriander seeds. Normally it's simple for the kids to guess what Goody is thinking but today they had some trouble. Using the Story props I shared the story in  Exodus 16 we talked about how God provides for us as well .

Mix and Make 

Using playdoh we pretended to be bakes and make loves of bread.

The pandas love learning the new action rhymes to do before we pray. They were excited that this one encourages them to stand.
