Can you believe that it’s already March? We are about to spring into spring and can hardly wait to see what hatches around the preschool.

Dr. Seuss’ Birthday – Monday, March 2^nd

Did you know Dr. Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham using only 50 words? Published in 1960, the book originated from a wager between Bennett Cerf, Random House’s publisher and co-founder, and Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss. “Bennett Cerf bet me I couldn’t write a book with 50 words or fewer, and I wanted to show him that I could,” said Dr. Seuss.

Over the past 60 years, Dr. Seuss’s books and stories have shaped and continue to influence early childhood literature. We will celebrate him and his contributions at preschool by reading several of his books this month. Thank you, Dr. Seuss, for igniting our imaginations and love of rhyme and introducing us to the worlds within books.

Preschool Chapel – Friday, March 6^th

Our Fruit of the Spirit for March is gentleness. We will explore what it means to be gentle and read the Parable of the Lost Sheep. Since it is March, we will also discuss St. Patrick, his ministry, and how he used the clover to illustrate the nature of the Trinity, three in one. Chapel is always a wonderful time spent together in worship, fellowship, and praise of the Lord.

Teacher In-Service Day – Friday, March 13^th – STUDENT FREE

It’s time for a teacher in-service day. These days are essential, as they provide the time we need for training, planning, preparation, and cleaning that cannot be done while the children are on campus. We are grateful for these opportunities to grow and enhance everything we do in service to the children and their families. 

A special thank-you to Dr. Jade Starleaf for leading a teacher training session with our staff. We are so grateful and very excited to learn from Dr. Jade.

St. Patrick’s Day – Monday, March 17^th

With a touch of the blarney, we will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year with leprechauns, shamrocks, and so much more. The story of St. Patrick is also an excellent time to talk about the call to spread the gospel to the world.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:10
