Little Hands Towards Heaven - Unit 1

We have finished our first week of preschool using Heart of Dakota's Little Hands Towards Heaven. Samuel loves it! We had so much fun. From the website, "Little Hands to Heaven is a complete preschool program that includes: letter recognition, letter formation, letter sounds and motions, early math skills, Bible activities, devotional topics, art projects, dramatic plays, active exploration, finger plays, and music." Here's a few highlights of our week:

Samuel working on one of our art projects. We drew a picture with a white crayon on white paper and then painted over it with black paint to make the picture show up illustrating how God created the world out of nothing.

Samuel making a Letter A out of dried beans. He has also been asking me to show him how to write the Letter A over and over again and is getting pretty good at it.

One of the things he will be doing over the next few weeks is making his own 1-10 counting book. Today we started the first page. Our Bible story was about Adam and Eve eating the fruit from the tree of knowledge, so we have 1 tree in our counting book. We were supposed to cut a picture from a magazine, but we didn't have any laying around so I printed one off the computer, Samuel colored it, and then he cut it out and glued it on his counting page. He liked using the scissors :)
