Tuesday we had mass, learned more about Noah's Ark and the story in the bible. Noah's Ark is probably their favorite bible story so far, besides the Christmas story. We made our "little sprout houses" or our mini greenhouses for our green beans that we will be planting on Thursday. We decorated the "bean's house" and then we will plant the green bean seeds in the bag. Wrapped in a wet paper towel the beans will start to grow and flourish! It's amazing to watch. |
Wednesday we had gym at school outside again :) We also read some books friends brought in and learned about Jonah and the Whale. Jonah was swallowed by the whale because he was trying to run away and hide from God. He did not want to do what God asked of him and this was his "punishment". He prayed day and night for 3 days and apologized to God. God saved him and then Jonah was able to spread God's word. |
Thursday we planted our green beans in our green houses - wrapped 2-3 beans in a wet paper towel and placed in a sealed ziploc bag. These are then hung in the window and watered every other day. We will be able to watch the progress as the rest of the year progresses. As well we learned more about Daniel and the Lion's den! We made our Chrysanthemum name flowers as well. All of our names are unique and that is what the story taught us. |
Friday we made dandelions. We had to finger paint the ends of the flower on the paper. We had five colors and five fingers. One finger for each color. We did a great job listening to directions. Then we got to make our Coffee Can Ice Cream! They have been waiting all week for this! We put cream, sugar, milk and vanilla in a small container. Then put it in a coffee can sealed with ice and ice cream salt. We sealed that and took both outside and started kicking. We kicked both cans all over the playground to get our ice cream to form. Due to it being warm out we had to put in the freezer until afternoon snack and then we got to try it for snack outside. :) |
