Valentine’s Day: Sharing God’s Love!

Room 4 had a lovely time celebrating Valentine’s Day together! During this month, we have been discussing this special day and how it is a time to share kindness and remember God’s love for us and for one another. Our little blessings enjoyed yogurt parfaits and were excited to share their valentines with each other afterwards.

A heartfelt thank-you to our parents who helped bring ingredients, decorations, and supplies!

Love is in the Air

We had a blast at our Valentine’s Parties in Room 3! From DIY yogurt parfaits to heart-themed crafts, the kids stayed busy sharing the love.

Highlights included a cozy storytime and the excitement of our “mailbox” delivery where everyone handed out their goodies. Check out the photos below to see our little Valentines in action! 🍫

Thank you to all the parents who helped make the parties so special. We love our preschool family! 💌

🌷🧺🎀 ~ Valentine’s Day Parties ~ 💝⭐️🎁

Our long awaited Valentine’s Day parties have begun. Sweets, treats, and hearts all around! What a delight to witness the benevolent Spirit of God weaving throughout and within our students, their parents, and two gift exchanges.

Some friends in pink, crafting, storytelling, and exchanging!
Our Valentine’s Day board carefully and creatively designed by Ms. Ray!

I’ve separated our photos into two days, or sections. Day 1 is Thur, Feb 12. Day 2 is Fri, Feb 13.

Day 1 🎀

One of our student’s father visited our classroom to share his guitar and voice with us! He allowed each student to strum on his guitar, and sang ‘Jesus Loves Me,’ and other worship songs. What a treat!

Our little guitarists strumming away!

Day 2 🌷

On Day 2 of our party, we had four parent volunteers in the classroom! I.e., lots of extra hands to help prep activities, snacks, tidy up, and play!

Room 1 loves a parent volunteer. They sat very proper, eagerly listening. Many heartfelt thanks to those who could join us and make their day extra special!

🎁💝 ~ Gift Exchange ~ ⭐️🎀

🎀🌷Sharing valentines with friends! Such a sweet exchange. Each child got toys and trinkets to take home and enjoy!

🍦🍓 ~ Ice Cream Gallery ~ 🍫🍨

Ms. Kira takes on an ice cream making project! She allowed each child to assist her in making the ice cream from scratch. Using heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, sugar, rock salt and lots of ice, she was able to make a huge batch of uber-delicious vanilla ice cream. Each child had a quarter of a cup or so, with their choice of topping: strawberry or chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or plain!

Ms. Kira allowed any students who volunteer to take turns churning the fresh ice cream! They got to witness the process, do the work, and reap the rewards at the end. And what a reward it was (excellent ice cream, Kira — good job).

That’s about it. Happy Valentine’s Day and President’s Day! Enjoy the long weekend and we’ll see you on Tuesday.

⭐️🏂 ~ Snow Day!!! ~ ⭐️🏂

We had some freezy, frosty fun in the California sun last week. Our Room 1 friends came ready to play in all their snow gear (tiny snow pants, boots, and gloves). They enjoyed the snow, to say the very least.

Thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help and play with the kids on both snow days. They had a blast! We had some very strong mothers manning the slope for sledding. We’d’ve been very sore without you.

Photos from our early morning frenzy (~8am) in the fresh snow our second day of snow play alongside the younger pod.

We are so grateful for such a wonderfully pleasant experience, opportunity, and overall good time. God had his protective hand over the children and for that, we’re blessed and thankful!

Until next winter,

A Joyful January in Room 4!

January was packed with special moments in our Room 4 class! It brought winter fun, where the children got to play and explore in the snow on the playground. This included going down a giant snow slide, making snowballs, and building little snowmen!

We also had our Fun Run, and Room 4 proudly ran as the Little Rockets! Our friends did an awesome job running around the grassy field… while also making sure to take plenty of water break on this hot day. We are so proud of their efforts!

Another highlight of January was our farm visit! The children had the chance to spend time with an alpaca, goats, bunnies, and sheep. Some of our friends even fed the animals with some hay. (:

We would like to give a huge thank you to our parent volunteers on all of these days, it has been a great blessing to us!

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
