Celebrating Dads

Mother's and Father's Day

Question of the Day: I do fun things with my Dad? 

Toys: Dolls, Doll cloths, Traffic Rug, Cars, trucks, and airplanes.

Snack: Carrots, animal crackers, and Twizzlers. 

Circle Time: We read What Daddies Do Best and talked about Father's Day coming on the third Sunday in June (19). What do you do with your Dad?
Andi: Daddy plays Ilsa Legos with me.
Carter: One day we played "Tag, You're it!" and "Zombie Hide and Seek" at the Park.
Chloe:I help my Daddy pick out food from the garden.
Daxton: "My Dad teaches me how to do stuff." Like what "stuff?" I asked.  "Like trust in Heavenly Father."
Ella:We play the "Teasing Game."
Luke: Me and my Dad play games when he stays home, if mom is sick, or after his work.
Micah: We play at the Park.
Song:  "My Father is my Favorite Pal", "Mother dear I love you so!"

Today we sang the song My Daddy is My Favorite Pal, and then we did the 'I love you, Daddy! Here's how I will help you!' activity.





We also finished a small picture for our Moms too. 

Chloe said spontaneously,"I love you, Miss Julie!" I told her I loved her and thought about my little friends from preschool a lot.  Daxton piped up," I love you guys!"  That set off a "love fest" among these cuties.
