Let it snow
Day 2
We began our morning with Bible verse: Psalm 51:7 (New Living Translation)
Purify me from my sins, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
JJ wrote out the Bible verse
Then to illustrate to JJ I made a black snowman on a dry erase board that represented our sin, had him erase the black snowman (to illustrate “dirt” like out sins) & explained to him that Jesus is the one that erases our sin & makes us clean (whiter than snow) then I had him draw a new white snowman to represent the washing away of sin.
Now the snowman is smiling because Jesus cleaned the sin!
Math
JJ did a simple addition snowflake math worksheet
found on http://www.childcareland.com/
Books we read
Arts & crafts
Using painter’s tape I taped down strips of tape making snowflake designs on construction paper, then the boys painted with white paint the paper, we peeled the tape off & viola snowflakes. I saw this idea on a blog (I can’t remember who’s blog, so if it’s on your blog please let me know so I can give you the credit).
Then we baked cookies, this was spur of the moment so I used what I had in the fridge Immaculate baking.company cookies. When I took them out of the package, I left them 3 in a row, JJ & I decorated them with little candies for the eyes, buttons, nose & mouth.
Be sure to come back & see our let it snow adventure for Day 3!
I am so very impressed with your 4 year old’s handwriting – he must be working very hard on it. Thanks for sharing your snowy books too.
The cookies look yummy
I love how you used the snowmen to enforce the bible verse!
