Letter D

Attribute of God: Daddy
I spent too long trying to figure out how to explain “defend” or “deliver” to Caleb, and then as I was sitting and talking with him, it hit me.  Caleb knows what a Daddy is.  Let’s do that! 

Story: David and Goliath
Originally this was meant to tie in with the theme of God as our Defender, but we did it anyway

Song: Only a Boy Named David (Instead of watching this video, we just played and sang at the piano.)

Food: Donuts (for Daddy’s birthday); Dumplings

Common vocabulary: donut, drum, drop, dinosaur, dog, duck, Daddy, door, down, dump truck

People We Know: Daddy, Deborah, Aunt Dawn, Danielle, Miss Doris

Art/Craft: Making Goliath

Video: Various Stomp and other drumming clips on youtube including Fanfare for the Common Man.

Activities:

  • Dropping stuff (cotton ball, soccer ball, piece of paper) over the staircase.  The scientific observation of fast and slow was a bit beyond Caleb’s concentration level.  He was more interested in saying “ready, set, go” or just dropping things over the rail. 
  • Dominoes
  • Drums: Pied Piper Percussion Ensemble concert at the mall. The focus that Caleb lacked while dropping things over the staircase was made up for during this 30-minute concert.  Sophia also enjoyed this concert, making friends and trying to take a nearby preschooler’s lunchbox.
