*Bible Verse: 2 Corinthians 3:18 "We will be changed into His likeness."
Songs for Saplings
We are making a little book for these verses and we sing them everyday during our "Bible study" time.

*Brightly Beaming Resources: We are using the
Preparatory Curriculum for 2-4 year olds for Shrade.
I try to blog about what we do for each "weekly" activity. It takes us about 2 weeks for each theme. We will be done with the Prep Curric when we reach 26 lessons! Not many more left. :) Then we will start
The Letter of the Week Curriculum for preschool age.

Brightly Beaming Baby: Jessna is now 8 months old for the Nursery Age lessons. Each lesson is 2 weeks long and includes literature, poems, nursery rhymes, Bible, speech & vocab, classical music, lullaby, foreign language (I'm going to do some Spanish and sign language), baby game, exercise and baby massage. I love these lessons because they give me a focus on what I can do to entertain my baby! It's fun and she loves it. I hope to do more things with her!
*Sensory Play:
-water play- loves this!
-playdough
We will be using a lot of these activities when we learn the letters!

Literature Connection
We will do some snow theme activities and read The Snowy Day. (I'm doing a Teaching Preschool online class right now and will be using my ideas for this)
*Fun With Colors
Every month this year I will pick a different color to focus on for one week. For January I chose BLUE! I will be using ideas from
Teach Your Tot and
Totline 123 Colors : Color Day Activities for Young Children (1-2-3 Series: Ages 3-6)
