Who built the ark? And Letter C - part 1

This weeks themes centered around Noahs Ark and the letter C.  

So I will first go over what we did with Noah.  Each day we read from her children's Bible the story of Noah.  

The first day we concentrated on how Noah obeyed God by building the ark.  We talked about how obey God brings blessings and safety.  Then we used a box I had and "built" an ark!

She loved to pretend to be Noah and go in her ark.

The second day we talked about all the work Noah had to do to gather the animals.  So I let her bring stuffed animals into the ark with her.  We also have the Melissa and Doug Ark and we worked on matching animals 2 by 2.

Even the twins got to do some matching and animal sound learning with Bella :)

On the third day, we talked about the rainbow and God's promise to us.  We talked about how his promise is because He loves us and cares for us.  So we did LOTS of color activities that day.  

First we made a rainbow on a paper plate with her dot markers.  I started it by making lines for her to follow.

Next we did a game where I would tell her to do certain actions to a color.

Here she is jumping to blue.

Here we are flying to purple

And crawling to red.

Then I had her take blocks I would give her and find the matching color mat.

hehe I love Ada's face.

The we all read a book on colors.

Here she is working on matching color words with the color mat.  She liked this more than I thought she would!

Now for our Letter "C" work!  We did some playdough work....

Prewritting line work....

 Letter tracing and coloring...

Dot Art... 

 Differentiating between Big "C" and Little"c". This was difficult as they look the same.

Then she did "C" stamping.  I actually used play dough stamps.

Then we did the YUMMIEST part of "C" week :) We made Cookies! We even let the twins help bake!

For Christmas Bella got these Melissa and Doug scissors... Sooo "C" is for cutting!  She loved it! She sat and did this for 15 minutes with no help!  She can't open them very well.  So after she cuts, she uses 2 hands to open them :)

 We also worked on some number 1 pages.  The first one she is painting with a q-tip and marker water.  "Marker what?" you say?  Well my little girl likes to forget to cap her markers, so they dry out.  Well instead of throwing them away, you soak the markers in water and you have paint!

 Here she traced her name and I helped her with the top line of 1's but she did the bottom all by herself!
