What a great first day we had yesterday. We made "Love Bugs". These are little lady bugs with heart shaped dots on their backs. We read the story about how Jesus loves little children and how he always welcomed them to come and learn. Our weekly number is "one". Our weekly color is red. Our weekly letter is the letter "H". Our monthly shape is a heart.
Given it is February and Valentines Day is in February our monthly theme is Love. All of our weekly numbers, letters, shapes, etc will all be focused around this. Next month will be St. Patrick's Day and the theme will be on God's gifts. April will be Easter and a related topic.
It will only get better from here. Daily pictures and videos will be taken as the children perform the various activities we do throughout our day/week. With the weather getting warmer, and lately, dryer we will be getting outdoors a lot more often. If it is too muddy to play on the outside equipment, we will be taking walks. Because we are located in a quiet neighborhood, we are able to do this safely.
Tuesday we will be making a trip to New Kent Elementary to watch several children perform a speech about key people in Virginia's history. One friend will be talking about Daniel Boone. We are excited about this.
Other upcoming events include a trip to the Children's Museum of Richmond on the 21st. We are also looking to coordinate a possible group trip (including whole families) to an amusement park come May. Many more exciting things will be to come in the future so please stay tune and follow along with this blog.
