All In A Week Of Creation

"W" What A Week!
We began our week looking at the story of creation in Genesis.  We decided to also learn about the letter "W" for world.  Pictured above is just one of the ways we made the letter "W" with wood.This involved teamwork, planning, and once we all agreed that it did, indeed, match the letter "W" we had found in the word "world," we also had the pleasure of "w"alking along all its wonderful winding whimsy! Ha!  (sorry...we got a little wrapped up in "w's!")

During our morning circle and story time we also observed that God made the sky.  This led to some questions! One of our little three's asked if God made rainbows.  So, from there, we decided to make our own puzzle rainbows. We practiced tracing the shape of the curve with our glue bottles, fingers, and paintbrushes.  Then...in proper two year old fashion, the glue landed here...and there....and we ended this activity with lots of sudsy, soapy, water table play!

Never let a mess keep a child from their truest form of learning...PLAY!!  A wonderful "follow-up" activity to this is always "wash" time.  This can be in the sink, the water table, the sprinkler, or washcloth practice learning how to clean our own faces and the faces of our babies or one another.  Everything in pre-k world is an OPPORTUNITY for hands-on learning through the power of play!!!

My little two's are FASCINATED with glue puddles :)!!

Deep in thought...She had arranged and arranged her "sky" several times and wasn't quite pleased. She wouldn't glue until she made her plan!
What an easy transition to go from ooey-gooey-gluey fun to some splashy-splashy water exploration that doubles as clean-up!

What did the rest of the week look like??

Picture
We discussed that God made the moon and the stars. We cut out crescent moons from foam plates, and stars from multi-colored construction paper. We recognized the difference between the "full" moon (whole plate) and the "crescent" moon pictured here. We painted the stars with glitter and glued sparkly poms to them just for a bit more of a tactile/texture experience.

Deep in thought!

Our wooden letters were made with extra fence posts we had stored in the garage. When my little ones want something more hands on writing practice, this full body letter adventure gets the prize! We have utilized these large wooden "building blocks" for every letter we have discussed. BUT!!! This week, THEY got the wood out and placed it in the appropriate shape, then invited their little two year old friends to "follow the leader" up and down the slants of the "w!"

What Our Clients Are Saying

My husband and I both work full time and during the year 2011 we needed a child care provider for our five year old daughter and our 20 month old son. I am a Special Education Teacher for the Willard RII district in Missouri. I found LaDonna Woolsey on the internet while searching for a child care provider.  I had called numerous places and never felt comfortable with any of them to even make an appointment to meet them in person. I called LaDonna, and almost immediately after the conversation started, I felt a sense of relief and made an appointment to check out her daycare in person, the following day.  When I saw her facility I was absolutely amazed. LaDonna answered all of my nervous mom questions and watching her interact with the children made me realize I had found the perfect person to watch my children during the day. She started providing Child Care services for my children immediately... - Lisa Lassley - Special Education Teacher for the Willard RII
