WELCOME SPRING!!

This week, we will welcome Spring as we make our kite collages and emphasize the Bible Story of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea. I made a display (pictured above) of water and waves that pull apart so that Moses and our Bible friends can walk across on dry land. The Bible says in Exodus 14:21 that Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and God caused the wind to blow all night which caused the water to be divided. We will also be playing with our parachute and feeling the wind it creates. For our craft, we will decorate a kite with different colored shapes. Our songs this week include "I've got peace like a river," "My God is so big," "Whole world in His hands," "ABC Song," and 2 kite rhymes and songs listed below:

I'm a Little Kite

Sung to: I'm a little teapot

I'm a little kite up in the sky.

See me flying, oh, so high.

When the wind begins to blow and blow.

I twirl and swirl, just watch me go.

5 Little Kites

Five little kites just beginning to soar,

The wind blew one away and that left four.

Four little kites so colorful to see,

The wind blew one away and that left three.

Three little kites waving high for you,

The wind blew one away and that left two.

Two little kites flying in the sun,

The wind blew oneaway and that left one.

One little kite having lots of fun,

The wind blew it away and that left none.

For storytime this week, "Splish, Splash Spring" will help us welcome Spring (it seems to need a little help this year). Puddles, peeping birds, sunshine, kites, and then rain threatens as the children quickly pick posies to bring to their mother welcoming them home. "Seymour and Henry" are two ducklings whose antics take them farther from their Mommy and how they find her again. This week, we will be adding plastic Easter eggs to our rice table to fill and empty and talk about their colors.

Hope you had a nice Spring break as we now welcome Spring and begin the Easter season.
