Tot School--K Week

Isaiah is 40 months

Hmm, this was 2 weeks ago, and I don't think that I even remember very much of what we did! But I'll do my best, just in case anyone is wondering what we were up to (i.e., Grandparents).

Bible Verse:

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

I must confess that I never really settled on a Bible story, though thankfully we read the Bible together as a family every day, so Isaiah didn't do without!

This first picture had nothing to do with K, but it was something that occupied Isaiah for a long time! He worked with his little pegs and pegboard all by himself! At first, I would put in the pegs and he would pull them out. Then he started trying to put them in, too. Then he realized that there was a plastic bag nearby, so that ended any attention to the pegboard, everything just went from the bowl to the plastic bag and back.

Kitchen

No pictures, but Isaiah is starting to imitate some of my actions in the kitchen. For instance, he has a bowl and a plastic bag that I keep in there with some toys for him to play with. He has started pretending to stir the toys around in the bowl and to open the plastic eggs. It's really cute.

Kick

With a little help, Isaiah was able to kick this soccer ball!

Karate

We karate-chopped (is that a verb?) his foam letters. He did fairly well identifying the letters that we've worked on so far.

Kangaroo

I made a letter K and Isaiah glued it and a picture of some kangaroos down. We also watched some youtube videos about these amazing creatures!

Koala

We watched some youtube videos about koala bears, too.

And now, I can only remember one song that we sang, Jesus Everlasting King, but I know there were more. This is what happens when I wait too long to post something. Oh well!

Tot School--J Week

Isaiah is 40 months old

Our Bible verse this week:

Proverbs 3:15  She [wisdom] is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Of course, the most precious thing to Isaiah is outside, so we changed this verse a little bit to fit what he would better understand.

Our Bible Story:

Joshua and the Battle of Jericho

And other things J is for...

Jelly

Isaiah enjoyed his first jelly and butter sandwich.  He's not really into peanut butter lately (more for mama!), but he had to have jelly this week, so I improvised.  He seemed to really enjoy the sweet lunch, since he ate the whole thing, and he's not a big sandwich fan.

Juxtaposed

This week Isaiah figured out that he can sit up even better by leaning up against something like the leg of our little table or the wall.  He was pretty proud of himself for this accomplishment!  And Mama was, too!

Jocularity

Friday night we had 3 other families join us for dinner, and Isaiah, as usual, had a blast!  He was doing his normal laugh until you can't breath thing, which was really quite cute.  He's getting better and better about actually playing with other children.

Just

As in just a few more M&M's, or just a few more minutes in the bath, or just one more song,  or just like Daddy...

Joshua and Jericho

We read the story of Joshua and the battle of Jericho in English and Russian as always.  Then we built our own wall, which ended up more like the wall of China, probably, but we had fun.  We knocked it down, too, which was even more fun.  Then Isaiah wanted to clean it up.  He amazes me!

Some other random j activities:

We listened to some fun jazz thanks to the radio via iTunes.  We jostled through the park on a nice jaunt one afternoon.  It rained most of the week, so this was a treat, actually to finally get outside.  We learned about jungle animals by watching some videos on YouTube.  And Daddy made us jambalaya although Isaiah didn't really eat very much of that because it was pretty spicy--Yum!  We jumped around the house, which brought lots of giggles.  We jogged down the stairs to get the stroller, which also brought lots of giggles.

We sang:  Jesus Cast a Look on Me, Jesus Loves Me,  and whatever other songs we could think of that had Jesus in them.  Why do I always forget these songs when I come to write my post?

We read:  The Tale of Jeremy Fisher again, since that's are only J book.

And now we're Kickin' it with the letter K!
