Montessori Classroom News September 28, 2017

Jesus loves children
Mark 10:13-16
In our bible story last week, we learned that Jesus was angry when he heard his disciples sending children away. Jesus welcomed the children to come to him, explaining that children are important to God.

Song: Jesus Loves Me
We sing this traditional song to a different tune and add another verse:
Jesus loves me, this I know
For the bible tells me so.
Little ones to him belong;
They are weak but he is strong
Na na na…

Jesus loves us, everyone
Every grown-up, daughter, son
Every culture, every shade,
In God’s image we are made

Health & Wellness
A major theme we discuss and teach is how we can take care of ourselves and be healthy – the food we eat, being active, getting rest, etc. At this time of year, we also talk about germs that can make us sick! In addition to handwashing, we practice “catching” coughs and sneezes in our elbow. Teaching children to cover their mouths with an arm/elbow is recommended because children won’t remember or be able to wash their hands every time they cough or sneeze, and germs on their hand quickly spread to any surface they touch!
