Day 1 – Wednesday, August 11, 2010 – 1:30-3:30
Begin our time praying for our afternoon together.
BIBLE
Read Genesis 1:1-8 (sky, earth, light, dark, water, air) from the Bible and show pictures (or read and show pics) from The Jesus Bible Storybook. This passage covers Day 1 & Day 2. (My Father’s World)
Create Day 1 and Day 2 pages. For Day 1: Glue black paper on one half of a 8.5x11 sheet of paper (landscape orientation). Leave the other half white. For Day 2: Draw a wavy line on blue paper, cut it and glue onto paper. Color the sky light blue. Add pulled-apart cotton balls for clouds. (My Father’s World)
LANGUAGE
Using the ABC Chart, sing the ABCs at least 2 times. Make sure to pause to avoid the usual slurring of L-M-N-O-P. Have the students point to each letter as he sings it. Introduce A,B,C,D,E,F and then using a button & the ABC Chart review those letters. For example, you could say, “Put your button on letter B.” Print the letter on another piece of paper and allow the child to correct his own mistake if necessary.
CALENDAR/MATH
Explain that we use the calendar to tell us the month, year, day of the week and the date. Point out the month – August and the year – 2010. Say “Yesterday was ________.” “What day of the week is today?” “It is ____________________.” “Yesterday’s date was the ____th.” “What do you think today’s date is?” “Today’s date is _____.” Write the date in the correct box. Color the squares from the first days of the month, alternating colors (green, blue) through the current day. “Today is (day), August (date), (year). (Saxon K Math)
Explore Pattern Blocks together. Say: “Today you will learn about a math material called pattern blocks.” “What can you tell me about pattern blocks?” “What do you think we could do with them?” “Use the pattern blocks to make something.” Let them use the blocks for 5-10 minutes and then put them away. This is just an opportunity to introduce the blocks. They will be used in future lessons. (Saxon K Math)
DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITY
Choose a ball that bounces well and can be easily grasped by child’s hands. Show the child how to drop the ball from the hands and catch it when it bounces up. Teach the child to anticipate the ball’s position in order that the child can catch it at the precise time. Encourage the child to catch the ball with the hands without touching the body. You can also add counting how many times the child can bounce and catch without missing. . (Slow and Steady Get Me Ready)
THEME
Complete “All About Me” pages together and keep in 3-ring binders. They will keep all their work in these binders, so we can look back at the end of the year to see what we have accomplished. (I have these pages "set up" already and I would add them as pdfs but....well I just don't know how yet. So I trust you can just take some white paper and write a few things - "My name is___________" and leave space for a current photograph. Next page space for student to draw a picture of self then write "I am ___ years old," etc...)
Page 1 – Place picture of student on the page. Have the student write his/her name under the picture.
Page 2 – Fill in the information about self – age, height, weight
Page 3 – Fill in information and draw simple pictures of favorite things – Favorite color, food, toy/activity
Page 4 – Handprint & Footprint
