CREATION, PART 1--

  This week, we will begin part one of three on the creation. This week, our Bible story is God created Light and Day and Night. For our art time, we will sponge paint a sheet which is half black for night and half white for day with stars. We will glue a paper moon and sponge paint shining stars to the dark sky.  On the light sky, we will stamp a bright, shining sun with yellow paint. During our opening time, we have yellow, shining suns on sticks which we will string paint with orange, yellow, and red blended together with the strands of yarn.  During our opening time music and movement, we will spin our twirlers and pretend to fly like birds, swim like fish, stomp like elephants, and hop like bunnies and kangaroos.  For our snack, we will have a cheese slice and pretzels.

   For circle time, we will sing "This Little Light of Mine," "Give Me Oil in My Lamp, (with a picture on a stick of an oil lamp)" "Itsy Bitsy Spider" (with emphasis on "out came the sun and dried up all the rain") and "Twinkle Star." We have a creation rhyme called "God Made Everything" (words below) which we will also learn. We have another nursery rhyme for this week with stick puppets as we say "Hey Diddle, Diddle the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon . . ."
  For storytime this week, we have "Goodnight Sun, Hello Moon" by Karen Viola about a bunny family as their day goes by. As the pages are turned, the sun gets smaller and then a moon appears at the end. "Someone to Love, Story of Creation" by Marilyn Lashbrook is our second story about all that God created.

GOD MADE EVERYTHING

God made the sun (hold arms in circle over head)

Up in the sky. (point up)
God made the fish (put palms together and wiggle hands back and forth)
and the birds that fly. (Place hands under arms and flap up and down)
God made the lion. ("Roar")
God made the lamb. ("Baa")
God made our world. (Hold arms out and turn in a circle)
See how happy I am? (Clap and smile)

Have a wonderful week,

Mrs. Shelly
