Joy School Intro 2

Hailey couldn't wait to start Joy School. She goes to the calendar and counts the numbers. At the start of Joy School we did the weather chart. At first it was just cloudy. We moved on to the calendar and then before we set down for the lesson, I noticed that it started raining. So we changed our chart. By the end of Joy School, Hailey pointed out that it stopped raining and was sunny now. This was a great chance to further explain the weather.

For this lesson we are still introducing Joy School, so did a lot of singing and finger plays. We learned "I got Joy." Hailey who is generally shy when put on the spot, still repeated after me and really tried to learn the song. Later that night we went over the song the daddy and Robert. The next morning, Nathan started saying the words and Hailey went over and wanted him to repeat after her. Grant it that Hailey can only really remember nine words but it's a great start that surprised me.

For the actually learning session, we talked about the last three rules. We talked about how following rules can make us happy.

Then for the craft we cut or tore colored paper to make a design on a blank sheet. Hailey got frustrated in trying to cut that she gave up. She wanted to color with markers instead so we did that for a little.
Here's my pretty picture to demonstrate to Hailey what she can do.

We didn't get to everything on the lesson plan but Hailey enjoyed our time which was the main point.
