Printables for this week:
Servant Hearted Chart from Hubbard’s Cupboard
Galatians 5:13b from Hubbard’s Cupboard
This week we learned about Elijah and the widow who gave up her last meal for him. Acting the story out is a favorite, and this week we practiced in English and Spanish! It is so fun to hear Aryelle speak in Spanish these days, as she is like a little parrot copying whatever she hears (real words or not...hehe)
Bread Painting was also a big hit this week. (Just mix a drop of food coloring with a couple tablespoons of milk, stir, and paint away!) We used the little watercolor brushes for some good fine motor practice. They were supposed to practice writing their names, but were enthralled by the colors and ended up painting every inch of their piece. Then it was straight to the toaster, as soggy bread is not very appetizing no matter what color it is. ;-) There were squeals of delight over this activity!
We also practiced being servant hearted by serving each other snack this week. They draped a towel over their arm (like the photo on the bible verse page) and in their best British accent said “Would you like...?” Then they would bring the snack and drink, both using their best manners. It was quite amusing, so much so, that I was laughing so hard I only snapped a couple of photos.
For our cooking day, we made Lizzy Lizard bread! This is one of my favorite recipes called Tomato Basil Bread which makes a delicious Italian bread with an orange color that is perfect for Lizzy. I made the dough in the bread machine, then gave each child a chunk of dough to create their lizard. They ended up needing a little more guidance, so we talked about the different parts of a lizard’s body and made them together. Everyone insisted on including the tongue, too. hehe
Our Friday edition of Jungle School was Leaf Art. Each student brought some leaves we dumped in a tub in the middle of the table. Then I used one of my favorite fall books Look What I Did With a Leaf, by Morteza E. Sohi to provide some inspiration, and set them free to create! Here we have cats and an elephant. Aren’t they great?
