10:00 Toddler Class
We had a wonderful class this morning. It was nice to see our toddlers today! This week's lesson was about emotions. Ms. Erika talked about the many different emotions we have. She also taught how to sign them. Here's a video of how to sign different emotions. For today at home, try signing the kinds of emotions. Ms. Erika said to try to sign, happy.
Ms. Annie had a felt great story time today. She told the story of There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly. She said that it made her cry swallowing those things. For us, we only put food in our mouths! Then we will be happy!
10:30 Primary Class
We had a fun class this morning! It was wonderful seeing everyone! The children were ready for their lessons! Ms. Jen started with calendar and taught a new way to tell our weather using sign language. This is the Pinterest link for it. After the calendar, Ms. Jen read, Duckling Gets a Cookie by Mo Willems. That was a fun story! Next, she talked about our lesson for the week, Birds! She talked about the characteristics of birds: birds have wings, lay eggs, are warm-blooded, and have feathers.
She talked about parts of a bird. Ms. Gabby made a felt cutout of parts of the bird. Then, she talked about where birds live. Birds build nests for their homes. Ms. Jen showed an example of how to build your own nest at home. Birds gather many different kinds of materials to build their nests. They use straw, grass, twigs, feathers, and even hair. To bind them, they use spider webs and some birds use their own saliva. For our nest, we will use play dough. Here's a how to make your own bird's nest.
