It definitely feels like the start of spring with a theme like butterflies!! Here is what we will be doing this week. You could probably find some more ‘butterfly’ themed language and math resources, but I wanted to keep focusing on our blends and money to really finish it out with a good understand and foundation for my littles.

Comprehension Questions:
What did Jesus do to serve the disciples?
Tell me about a time that you helped someone.
How does it make you feel when you help someone?
How does it make God feel when you help someone?
If you can’t see God, how can you tell that He is happy and smiling at you because of what you did?
What are some examples of being a servant to others?
Fingerprint caterpillars – Draw the head of a caterpillar on the left side of a piece of paper (landscape style, not portrait). At the top write the number 16. Use fingerpaint and a finger to dot on 16 dots for the caterpillars body.
Butterfly Exhibit – Near us there is a conservatory that has hundreds of butterflies in a room that you can go in and let them land on you and observe. If you don’t have anything like that near you, you could see if you could get a butterfly kit and do that.
