September 3rd

Today we begin our study of God's Creation.  The following is an excerpt from our read and share children's Bible.
The First Day
Genesis 1:1-5
In the beginning God made heaven and earth. At first it was empty and dark. But God gathered up the light and called it day.
Then he gathered up the darkness and called it night. God was watching over everything.

The Second Day
Genesis 1:6-8
On day two God divided the air from the water. He put some water above the air and some below it. He named the air sky.

We thank God for all He has made for us. We are learning a song about all of the things God has made.
"God made the darkness, God made the darkness, God made the darkness, He's so good to me.
God made the light, (x 3), He's so good to me.
God made the sky, (x3), He's so good to me.
God made the water,(x3), He's so good to me.

Each week we will add 2 more days to our study of God's Creation.

This week's activities will include:
*Beginning our Creation booklet:
(Day 1)Painting darkness and light
(Day 2)finger painting water and gluing cotton ball clouds
*Tossing blue, square bean bags into a blue bucket
*Free choice blue painting
*Finishing up our Pete the Cat books
*Placing blue items on our magnet board
*Making blue squares out our craft foam sticks
*Looking "above" and "below" for blue squares
*Using paint daubers on the first letter of our first name
*Pealing and placing stickers on a square

The weather cooperated with us today and we were able to get outside after lunch today to ride bikes and cars and play in the rock pit!! This is only the second day of our creation study and many of the children already know the song! Ask your child if he/she can sing God Made the ______, He's so good to me.  (words at the top of the page) They love to do the hand motions along with the song.
