October 6, 2011: Birds, Bugs (and other plagues) & Thankfulness

In our opening circle time, our Little Seedlings shared something for which they are thankful and our older class made turkey puppets.

Today's lesson was about how God sent plagues on Egypt (Exodus 7-10).  The children played with bugs in our colourful rice sensory bin and then learned about how God showed His awesome power through the plagues.  Our 2-3s made frog puppets to remember how God showed His power.

September 29, 2011: God is Holy & Eternal...God Raises Moses to Lead Israel

This week our Little Seedlings learned how God revealed Himself to Moses in a miraculous way (in the burning bush!) and how He called Moses to lead Israel. The children learned that God is holy and to praise God because He is holy and eternal. God does what He plans to do.

 

September 22, 2011: Trusting God When Bad Things Happen.... God Prepares Israel for Deliverance

Our Little Seedlings are back!  This fall we're teaching the Little Seedlings the Exodus curriculum from Generations of Grace.  In the first lesson, the children learned to trust God (as Moses' mother did) and that God does not forget His people.  They learned how God protected baby Moses and prepared him to lead the Israelites.

In the sensory bin, the kids investigated what would float (like baby Moses' basket) and what would sink.  In the playroom we built creations with cardboard blocks and talked about how God's people were slaves in Egypt and had to make bricks out of clay and straw for the Egyptians.

We have lots of new faces joining last year's Little Seedlings!  All the kids are enjoying all the new toys that we have been able to purchase from our Mother's Market fundraiser.

Back to Little Seedlings

It has been a great summer but where did the time go? It seems like we were just having our wind up and now it's time to head back to playschool.

We're having a registration/playtime on Thursday, Sept. 15th from 9:20-11:15 a.m. Bring the kiddos and come for a morning of fun and fellowship. Our regular group will begin Thurs. Sept. 22nd at 9:20.

We look forward to seeing you soon!!!

We colored eggs as our edible craft.

Busy morning

 

It was a busy morning with 15 of our friends. There were ferns to play with in the sensory bin so that we could feel what it was like to wave palm leaves as Jesus rolled into town. We learned about Jesus dying on the cross for our sin.

Many good friendships are being made as our little seedlings play alongside each other.

Colourful Morning! - March 10, 2011

Because we continued learning about Joseph, all the kids wore their tie-dyed shirts that were made the previous week. It was a colourful morning, for sure!

Just a reminder that there will be no playschool on March 17th, due to March break.

Little Seedlings and our shirts of Many Colours! - March 3, 2011

While learning about Joseph and his coat of many colours, what better way approach the lesson that with our tie-dye shirts of many colours! We bravely pursued the task of tie-dying with many little helpers and it turned out to be a fun-filled and colourful morning!

Salt and Shakers - January 27, 2011

This morning we learned about Sodom and Gamorrah and how they were punished for disobeying God. We played with salt at our sensory table and used blocks to build towers!

Just a Regular Day... - January 13, 2011

What a quiet day!

When our little seedlings were together this Thursday there was a general sense of ease and calmness about the 14 kids that were present. What a pleasant way to spend the morning while singing, playing,

and going about our regular routine with our friends!

Back in the swing of things! - January 6, 2011

After a couple weeks away from our group, our Little Seedlings rejoined today for the first time in the new year and got back to routine! We played, sang, ate, and learned about God’s judgement on the people of Babel.

As wonderful as the Christmas season is, there is always some kind of anticipation to return to “normal” life, and our Little Seedlings were very happy to be together once again!

Christmas Party - December 16, 2010

This week was the last time our Little Seedlings will be getting together for the year 2010, and what better way to commemorate it than by celebrating the birth of our Lord! We cut out some cookies, made block towers, heard the story of the first Christmas, sang songs of worship, and ended the morning with a pizza party and decorating cookies!

Little Seedlings will start up again in the New Year, so we wish you a blessed season filled with joy, peace, and hope that can only be found in Jesus!

Merry Christmas!

Fun, with a chance of Flurries! - December 9, 2010

This morning found our little Seedlings enjoying the warmth of the church basement and and the time shared with friends! We made snowflakes to hang on our Christmas trees at home with plenty of sparkles on our craft, in our hair, and on the floor!

Unfortunately, I brought my digital camera to take some pictures of the kids, but left the battery in the charger at home, but thankfully had the video camera on hand and ready to go! Next week there will be a little Christmas video with clips of this week, as well as our Christmas pizza party next week!

Busy morning-December 2, 2010

There was still lots of time for play before and after our craft time.

We have been using a line on the dividers to dry our works of art.

All of the Little Seedlings worked on this mosaic to create a rainbow mural. I think everyone enjoyed working together and this is our finished product. It's from a few weeks ago but we finally managed to get a picture of it.

Christmas Crafts

Our friends made Christmas wreaths this morning out of foam. They are really enjoying making things and the messier the better. Glue and glitter are our best friends!

We also made angels that were decorated with feathers. Once again the glitter came out!
