Seeing as how the end of the month will be quickly upon us, I wanted to update you on our home school preschool plans for the month of November.
November 2nd - 13th: Building/Construction
Ideas include building with small and large marshmallows and toothpicks, getting out the big tub of Legos and having it front and center when the kids arrive in the mornings, building with blocks, learning about construction equipment from books and kid-friendly videos, etc.
November 16th - 25th: Thanksgiving
Ideas include books about the Pilgrims, Turkey related games and crafts (see above), painting with "Turkey" feathers, etc. Baking some Thanksgiving related food such as corn and potatoes or having our own Thanksgiving lunch where we all make something for it together to share.
Emotions: Joy and Happiness
Social/Moral: What is a family? How do we treat family members?
Spiritual" Giving thanks to God in all circumstances.
Verse for the month: "Give THANKS to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." Psalm 107: 1
Books: I no longer am taking the time to list books this year. The time involved seems unnecessary when you can all just go to your local library and search the topic at hand and receive numerous hits and ideas. There are some fabulous books out there and you should be enjoying them with your kids on a daily basis. We shoot for 30 min reading as a Day Care and then another 15-20 minutes with just Seth before bed EACH DAY!
Just for the record the monthly Bible verse is going great. We keep it right next to our calendar where we talk through the month and days of the week each day. The kids have memorized both the September and October verses without any trouble at all. Amazing how God is establishing His Word in their hearts at such a young age!
