This Week at MES

The children have had a few service projects recently. These are great opportunities for them to have hands-on experiences with serving and helping others. A U.S. Navy sailor who was days away from leaving for Iraq came to the school and visited each of the classrooms. The school started a drive to put together care packages for our soldiers and all of the children were proud to participate. They have also just finished up a canned food drive to benefit Christian Community Action (CCA). This organization served over 12,000 individuals last year and is a major service organization in our area. The children were delighted to see just how many cans and packages of dry food they had all collected.

The class has created several beautiful craft projects this week. He did some leaf etchings, and stamped with leaves. He also made a beautiful turkey that he (and we) are very proud of! He painted some wooden ice cream spoons and decorated one of them with googly eyes and a pipe cleaner beak and wattle. He then stuck the wooden spoons in an apple and voila, a turkey! How cute!




The class worked on cooking, smelling, and eating! Nicholas practiced folding and table setting. He worked on some matching works. He learned the parts of a turkey and loves pointint them out to me. He did some more practice on printing. In Math, Nicholas worked on adding by 2 and he had fun learning to listen with Math Mats. The Good Shepherd lesson for this week was on Jonah.
