Blessings in our own life
For the months of January and February we have been focusing on the idea of "Blessing" inspired by the book God's To Do List. This week Thea brought in a poster to share the blessings in her life. She talked about the different people in her family and important and memorable events that have happened. Then the class had the opportunity to ask questions about what she has shared.This is the first time for children to speak in front of a group and present their work. For some, being the center of attention is wonderful and for others a little more challenging. For the listeners, they get a chance to ask questions about the poster. This does not include giving similar experiences about themselves, which is sometimes difficult. You have to begin your question with who, what, where, how , why, or did! This is only a time that we talk about the presenter.Today the class was most interested in the puppet theater Thea received for a present. She must have fielded at least 10 questions on the subject. When Thea's presentation was finished, everyone wanted to know when it would be their turn to talk about themselves. They are very excited.
