I am a mom who after seeking out Pre-K teaching resources, decided to instead make up my own stuff. Why? Because my 3 year old does not fit into a mold and I have come to see that only I know what will really keep her attention. So I have made this blog to keep a Journal of all the lessons, art pojects and resources I have created and used. And because writing them on scrap papers and kept loosely in a binder just did not work out so well....

Butterflies Part I

 We started studying butterflies and caterpillars.
But before we got our live caterpillars, we looked at some books from the Library and borrowed.
We read about them.  I showed her pictures on line.
We even found some outside one day and held them.
One afternoon we drew and painted some butterflies.  It was also a great chance to talk about God being the Creator.
Here are our paintings....
I drew the butterfly and told her that we were doing to create our own butterflies like God does!
So I showed her how I could make any shape I wanted inside the wings.  Then she did the next one.  
I love that she put ears on her butterfly....

Jesus Feeds the 5,000

We did this as a Bible lesson a few weeks back.
I read her the story from the Bible about Jesus feeding the 5,000 in the book of Matthew.  Then made a quick storyboard.  By quick, I mean I literally grabbed some paper and color pencils and sketched as I told her the story.  She was interested,...so I went with it.
