Looking for Leprechauns
We have had a lot of fun with leprechauns. During our center time this week, each table got to make a leprechaun trap. We have only caught the leprechauns shoe! We can't seem to catch him! We listened to the book The Naughty Leprechaun Story. This story is about twin leprechauns, Liam and Leyland. Liam is the nice leprechaun that leaves treats. Leyland is the naughty leprechaun that does pranks and doesn't listen. Leyland moved all of the behavior clips to RED. Liam moved all the behavior clips to PINK and left some golden nuggets in the children's lunch cubbies.
Before St. Patrick's day we made Wanted posters. The kids had to pretend to be a leprechaun and think of where they were last seen. Below you will see a few samples of the wanted posters.

Fantastic Faith 3-15-15

Theme: God forgives our sins.
To reinforce at home:
One way we live out Jesus’ message to love one another is in
forgiving others when they ask forgiveness. We explored our Christian call to forgive others. Forgiveness is something we
all need to experience. We teach our children to make up with
one another, to say, “I’m sorry.” Their actions cannot be sinful
or deliberate, but they know when they have hurt someone or
done something mean or wrong, and they need to know they
are forgiven. They also can learn to recognize that forgiving
others when they ask forgiveness is a way we live out Jesus’
command to love one another. It is hoped that the children can recognize how loved and forgiven they are, to explore our
Christian call to forgive one another, and to glimpse the perfectly
forgiving love of God.
Today we talked about what SIN is (doing something on purpose that you know is wrong). We stressed that God can forgive any sin if we are truly sorry. We also reinforced the idea that the cross is the symbol of Jesus and that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to save us.

Sounds All Around
This past week we learned about sound. We read Sounds All Around by Wendy Pfeffer and learned about pitch and vibration. We discussed objects that made noise or no noise and sounds that were loud and quiet.
We also learned about Dr. Seuss as his birthday is remembered on March 2nd. We had fun playing with rhyming sounds in words. Our favorite Dr. Seuss books were Are You My Mother? and Wacky Wednesday.
March 2nd is also Read Across America Day. 
During center time, the kids went to a station called sound eggs. They had to shake the egg and guess what was inside.
We also borrowed rhythm sticks from Mrs. Kolp and made noises with them. We made different noises with maracas while listening to Debbie Clement's song shakers.
Lady Liberty Directed Draw
During our weeks of learning about President's Day, Ohio, and American symbols, this was an activity we did after listening to Debbie Clement's song Red, White and Blue.
Directed draw instructions from Deanna Jump.
Fantastic Faith for March 8th
Gospel lesson for the third Sunday in Lent - 3.8.2015
Dear Parents,
Today your child listened to a simplified version of John 2:13-25
Theme: Jesus stands up for the Temple.

Theme: Jesus stands up for the Temple.
To reinforce at home:
In John, we hear about Jesus entering the temple and becoming angry with the merchants who are buying and selling. The Temple was like church, a place where people prayed and praised God together. The people selling things made the Temple too much like a store. Jesus reminds the people that his Father’s house is a
place to pray. He is angry they are making a marketplace out
of a sacred place.
We explored children’s experiences of being angry with friends and family members and having to ask or give forgiveness. By respecting each other, we respect the presence of God in each of us. We create God’s kingdom by living as Jesus did.

Activities to do at home:
*Evaluate your Lenten experience. Are you celebrating it as a family or has time gotten away from you? It’s okay to begin this week to talk about Lent as a season and make decisions about what you want to do together.
*Find something to DO this Lent rather than to GIVE UP. Give up some time to visit a homebound or sick person.
