Circle Time: Morning learning songs. Introduce letter V and review letters A-U. Read "My V Book." Review #’s 1-20. Ask the child to tell you what numbers are on the cards. Review the vowel song. Begin blending consonants vowels. Review money. Lately, I have been teaching the children some of the old-time songs and rhymes that I sung as a child. Thus far, we have learned "This Old Man," "Where is Thumpkin?", and "Hands On Shoulders," "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. Teach "Jesus Loves Me," which every child should eventually know. I still sing it to myself occasionally-it's just a pretty and encouraging song! Have children try to think of a vehicle that starts with each letter of the alphabet, i.e., a for airplane, b for bus, c for car, d for Duckie Tour, etc. Picture from: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/103019910196204400/
Bible: "Humility!" from The Big Book of Bible Lessons for Crafty Kids: "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves" Phil. 2:3. Humility: To think of others before yourself, instead of being selfish. Make a Verse Pouch out of craft foam. Page. 122.

Group Lesson: Experiment: Ramps and Cars (science & math): We test cars/trucks to see how well they roll on a ramp covered with various materials, i.e., foil, sandpaper, bubble wrap, corrugated paper. Also, we will change the height of the ramp and test. Allow children to try to determine outcomes before testing. Also could graph their hypotheses and then see what actually occurred.

Gross Motor/Phys.Ed: 1. Outdoor play if weather permits. Aerobics inside: I will put on some fun music and show the children some movements they can do for exercise: kicks, jumping jacks, side to sides, knee raises, hamstring curls--this is a little introduction to aerobics! Play Red Light/Green Light pretending to be various vehicles: helicopter, train, etc.
Art/Fine Motor: Painting with Vehicles: Provide large sheets of paper (like Freezer paper) for the children to paint on. Purchase Dollar Store vehicles and allow the children to dip the vehicles' wheels in paint and see what kind of design they get. Good time to discuss textures and colors. See if they can paint a letter V on their papers.

Group Lesson: Volume Experiment: From: A to Z Early Childhood Curriculum. Provide a large container of water, a plastic jar, a pitcher and a cup, How many cups of water does it take to fill the pitcher? How many to fill the large container? How many to fill the jar? The children can answer these questions by actually filling the containers and discovering the correct answers. Be sure to have the children predict an answer before they begin. It is fun for them to see how close their guesses are to the correct answer.
Lunch/Rest: Read two books while children relax, listen and enjoy!

Instructions continued
2.Roll out playdough with a rolling pin and place over tin foil. Fold playdough over rim of cup as well. You may need to use 2 or 3 sections of rolled out playdough for easier shaping.
3.Decorate your volcano with trees, animals and buildings if you wish.
4.Make the lava mixture:

1. Cut out squares from different colors of construction paper, enough squares for each child to write their first and last names, one letter per square. 2. Have the kids draw a railroad track onto a large white sheet of paper. If the child's train cars are extending longer than the sheet of paper, just tape another sheet of paper to the first one. 3. I also cut out a bunch of circles from black construction paper for the wheels. 4. Have the children cut out a picture of a train engine and color it. 5. Then have the children glue their engines and cars in the right order on the paper.
