UCCPA 1-2s

10/18/10

This week, our focus will be "Feet that Walk," and the Bible lesson is "Jesus Heals the Lame Man at the Pool" from John chapter 5. We will sing a new song called "Silver & Gold Have I None" (the words are printed below). We will also sing "My God is So Big" as we stretch out arms wide on the "so big" part and "Jesus Loves Me." We have felt pumpkins on a fence to see as we do "Five Little Pumpkins" (words also below). We will be examining the parts of a pumpkins and opening one up to see the inside and removing the seeds. We will use some of the seeds to decorate our paper plate pumpkins which the children will paint orange and add a stem, leaves, and some seeds. We hope to have these hanging from our room very soon. During our opening time, we will have some ears of corn to roll through ink and onto paper to see the designs the kernals make. We have red, orange, yellow, and brown felt bags which we will use to sort out the different color leaves that will float down on us as we sing "All the Leaves" (words below) and place them in the matching color bag. Storytime this week will include: "Grow a Pumpkin Pie," "How Do Dinosaurs say Goodnight?" and if time and/or attention permits, "5 Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree."

Thank you so much for the two packages of baby wipes last week. We are requesting each family to bring in a package to replenish our supply as we use a lot to keep little hands, faces, and bottoms clean.

Next week will be our Halloween celebration. We will have balloons and special treats. On Tuesday, we will have birthday treats for our celebration, but Wednesday and Thursday are open for a family to bring treats for snack time. The children are also welcome to wear their costume (the simpler the better) if they would like, and we will line them up for a Kodak moment. Probably, we will have to remove the costumes before snack as they could get messy and it would be difficult to change their diapers.

Have a Blessed Week,

Mrs. Shelly

SILVER & GOLD HAVE I NONE

Peter and John went to pray

They met a lame man on the way.

He asked for alms and held out his palms

And this is what Peter did say:

"Silver and gold have I none,

But such as I have give I thee.

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Rise up and walk."

He went walking and leaping and praising God,

Walking and leaping and praising God,

"In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,

Rise up and walk."

FIVE LITTLE PUMPKINS

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,

The first one said, "My, it's getting late."
The second one said, "There's a chill in the air."

The third one said, "Fall in here."

The fourth one said, "Let's play and jump and run."

The fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"

So whoosh went the wind that blew through the trees,

And the five little pumpkins were covered up with leaves.

ALL THE LEAVES

(Tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

All the leaves are falling down

Red and yellow, orange and brown.

They are coming off the trees

Watch them blowing in the breeze.

All the leaves are falling down

Red and yellow, orange and brown.
