San Francisco Adventist School
Our Classroom Activities
October 8-12, 2007

Dear Families,

This month we begin a new unit of study about nighttime. We will learn about nighttime, the nighttime sky, discuss our fears of the dark, and also learn about nocturnal animals. This week we will focus on the following concepts:

  • Night is nice. Night is a time to rest and sleep.
  • Night is from the time the sun sets until the sun rises.
  • At night it is darker and colder because at that time our part of the earth is turned away from the sun.
  • Most people are awake and play, work, or go to school during the day and sleep at night.
  • Some people sleep during the day and work or play at night as some businesses are open evenings or all night.

Day and Night

When the sun is in the sky,

(arms overhead like a sun)

Jesus loves me.

(hug self)

When the stars are way up high,

(wiggle fingers over head)

Jesus loves me.

(hug self)

In the day and in the night,

(arms overhead like sun and then pretend to sleep)

Jesus loves me!

(hug self)
