October 22

What beautiful fall weather God is giving us right now!  We observed "our tree" yesterday and recorded the changes in the leaves especially noting the colors.  Things like that always lead to other discussions and we had a wonderful conversation about autumn and the changes God gives to the world He created. 

We are learning about Martin Luther and the Reformation the next 2 weeks.  Little ones are very intrigued by this story and especially about God's grace and how Martin helped people to understand that "you don't have to buy papers" (indulgences!). 

There is most certainly a lot of reading going on in this classroom!  Between blending letter sounds to read words and the sight words that we are learning, I just stand back in amazement at how, only 9 weeks into school, these little ones are already becoming confident readers!  God is good!  They continue to practice number writing and number order and we just started learning about pennies. 

Thank you for all your donations to our "Morning Tubs" activities!  The little ones are so excited to use the tubs!  As they practice fine motor skills and strengthen those fingers and hands, they don't even realize they are learning and growing in so many ways!  (Social skills is my favorite learning with these tubs - okay, with about everything!)

Have a wonderful week in Jesus!
