ABC Jesus Loves Me: Year One, Week Three

This week Zeke completed week three in ABC Jesus Loves Me, Year One. His color this week was yellow. In his basket we put some yellow construction trucks, a big yellow car, a yellow Magformer, a yellow chicken, yellow lizards, and a yellow giraffe. He always enjoys this "color basket" as we call it. He likes taking the things out and putting them back in. He colored his train yellow, but it's really hard to see because he colored very softly this week.

 

 

His Bible story was Jesus Loves the Children. He placed yellow foam star stickers on a picture of a boy. I then glued it to a piece of yellow cardstock. He really likes putting stickers on! We sang "Jesus Loves Me" and "Jesus Loves the Little Children".

 

His book of the week was "When the Elephant Walks". He wasn't as in to this book as I thought he would be, but he did enjoy "counting" the bumble bees on the bear page. His animal this week was an elephant. He used a yellow dot marker to dot the elephant.

 

His song this week was "Jesus Loves Me", and his poem was "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". He learned to point to his ears - he actually pulls on them. He wouldn't do the sign language this week of "more". He has a mind of his own!

His favorite activity by far was the pom-pom transfer. I put five large pom poms in a clear plastic container, and he had to move them to the other plastic container. He stayed interested in this activity for about ten or fifteen minutes! I'll definitely do this again with him.

I really enjoy having these structured times with Zeke each day. It does ensure that he doesn't get lost in the mix while we do school. Although, he is very vocal when he isn't getting the attention he desires! We also read dozens of books a day to him because he loves books, especially lift-the-flap books!
