Counting to Four



Today is Harvest Festival Sunday, also known as Halloween, and it has been a really good day. I went to church and learned more about Jesus and so did you. I wish I could be there to have fun with you, but just know that daddy is so in love you guys and you are going to have so much fun with mommy!


When you go to the festival you are going to see so many of your friends and so many costumes and so much CANDY! This is what I want you to do...I want you to use your numbers and count all the candy you get and then afterward, maybe mommy will let you have 4 pieces of candy each!!!! Do you know how many pieces is 4 pieces? Lets count:


1   2   3   4


Now let's sing a counting song together !!!

The Wheels on the Bus




The are many great ways to get from place to place, but one of my favorites is the bus! Pretty soon you'll be able to ride a school bus and it will carry all of your friends and sometimes you teacher too. School buses come in many different colors, but most of the ones you will see are the colors yellow and orange.  Daddy likes the yellow bus and mommy likes the orange one, but they are both really great! There is a fun song called "The Wheels on the Bus!" Let's sing it together!

Next time you are riding in the car, point to the buses that you see and yell out what color they are! Its so much fun!

The Colors of the Rainbow!


There are so many beautiful colors in the rainbow that God made. The main ones are: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple.  I am going to teach you the "Rainbow Song" from Barney so that we can learn about the different colors of the rainbow. Here are the words:

OH! I like red...cuz it's the color of an apple.
Orange. it's the color of an orange
Yellow. it's a lemon and a beautiful sun sun sun
Green it's the color of trees and lots of things that grow
And then there's blue for the sky
And purple is a color that's fun fun fun
(repeat)
And when you put those colors side by side
What do you think we've done?
We've made a rainbow
And it's a really beautiful one!
 
God put colors in many other things too. Can you point them out? 

Veggitales Is So Cool! So is Twinkle Twinkle Lil' Star!



There are so many great stories about Jesus and the bible that VeggieTale videos teach us about. Another great thing about VeggieTales is the way it uses silly songs to make us laugh and learn. One of my favorite songs to sing is the song at the beginning of every video. I also really love to sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Lets sing those two songs together!

We Love the ABC's!



The ABC's are very important. We use the letters from the alphabet to spell our names and so many other words! One of the most fun ways to learn the ABC's is by singing them! There are also many different ways to sing them. I think Mommy and I have tried them all, but we chose the sesame street way as our favorite! Listen and learn! (JJ help your sister) ;-)
