TOT SCHOOL

We did Unit 6 Week 18 this week. This week we read about the ten men with leprosy in the Preschoolers Bible, talked about thankfulness, colored a squirrel greeting card, read some stories in the Margaret Wise Brown Treasury, matched animals together, pretended to be squirrels, and made the squirrel bible verse poster. I love these pictures of the girls with their acorns and squirrel that they colored! They both held them up right in front of their face for the picture! Oh! And we also practiced counting the squirrels and acorns.
