Kindergarten Class

On Tuesday Maddie and I were invited to join Eli's Kindergarten class.  His teacher, Mrs Andrews, had invited any parents to come in and read a book to the class, or make a craft, or play a game, or just whatever!  Eli wanted me to do all the above, including bringing a snack!

 

So yesterday was the day!  I prepped for our craft while the class did their morning activities.

 

Feeding the fish and watering the plants

I missed the calendar and weather time (you can see them on the wall behind the kids below)

Song time!

After that, the kids went to their desks and went through their alphabet (which Maddie loved) and began with some reading and rhyming of words!  Maddie wouldn't leave my side, but she enjoyed the class time so much.

 

Then we were up.  We began by reading the "Pumpkin Patch Parable".  I love that book.  We have the board book, but Eli had brought home a paperback that he wanted me to read from his school library.  It was more detailed and is just a great story of comparing us to pumpkins and talking about how the Farmer (God) has to clean out the yucky slimy pulp inside us (sin) and then gives us a new face and puts his light inside of us!  Great read!

 

After I finished a little girl raised her hand and said that she had done that, she had asked Jesus into her heart!  Praise the Lord - that was a great way to end the story!!!

 

After the book the kids went back to their desks and we did a craft!  I had traced their hands and arms on brown paper then gave them some leaf stickers that they decorated their "tree".  It's a cute craft that I used with the "babysitting kids" last week!  The kids all seemed to enjoy it!

 

 Maddie had such a great time with the class that she cried when we had to leave!

We both enjoyed our morning in Kindergarten!
