Room 3 had an amazing time during safari week. Everything from the water play to the “Jungle Book” movie to the reptacular animal show was amazing. To add to all the excitement, the Room 3 teachers had the pleasure of leading Chapel this week. The topic was the Baptism of Jesus. To end the week, the children were able to look at and pet different exotic animals; in addition, they were able to enjoy pizza during lunch!
This week the children in Room 2 had some wild adventures! Monday we started out with a fun cooking activity (see previous post). Tuesday, the children gathered to play around a watering hole (swimming pools).
Wednesday’s chapel was about Jesus’ baptism and Mr. Timmy taught the children how to jump up on a surf board. Throughout the week the children enjoyed different safari themed activities.
Thursday was “Movie Day” and the children enjoyed popcorn and Disney’s The Jungle Book.
Friday we got to see exotic animals!!!
The children were so brave! We ended our week with a pizza party. It was a WILD week!
Room 2 kicked off Safari week with a fun cooking activity: Elephant Bread! Thank you to the parents that donated our ingredients.
Although the week was short, it was still packed with tons of fun and excitement for both children and teachers alike! During our derby madness, we enjoyed activities such as water play in pools on the big field, going to Chapel, making ice cream and having our very own petting zoo! Consisting of an alpaca, a goat, chickens, bunnies and ducks, the petting zoo was an awe-inspiring activity that the children loved.
This week we have had an exciting time with Derby Days! Each day had a different event and each one was full of fun.
On Tuesday we had Snow Cones right before we did water play! The Snow Cones were perfect on such a warm day.
After Snow Cones we did water play and everyone was soaking wet!
On Wednesday we went to chapel and got reacquainted with our pal Snappy! Room 4 taught us all about Baby Moses and how God helps us when we need him.
On Thursday we dressed up like Cowboys and Cowgirls and had lot of fun with waterplay on our own yard! We even got to put on temporary tattoos. We watched a movie about trains and Cowboys and had lots of popcorn!
Friday came and with it came a trip to the Big Field yet again but this time instead of water we got to play with animals! We got to pet ducks, rabbits, chickens, a goat and an alpaca!
Derby Days went racing by! It was a blast and we look forward to our next week and all the fun it brings.
Last week we ended our dive into island life with an enormous obstacle course bouncy house. This derby-licious week came to a culmination with an adorable petting zoo trip! We walked all the way to the BIG school to see a hen, a rooster, ducks, fluffy bunnies, a sassy goat, and an gigantic alpaca! It was awesomely furry and clucky! We of course threw in lots of sand, water and bubble play into the mix. Have a blessed and relaxing weekend!
Today our preschoolers got to show their gentle side and meet some of God’s fluffiest little creatures. We had our own private petting zoo! Room 5 walked all the way up to the Big PCS Campus and gained some first hand experience on connecting with animals with the help of some trained experts and the loving care of their teachers. They had a magical time getting up close and personal with their furry friends!
As teachers, we are constantly being reminded the glory of God’s creation when we get to work so closely with your little ones. It was a real joy to provide your little guys with the opportunity to feel wonderment and protective over a life so much smaller than them! Today’s petting zoo was a wonderful experience which reinforced the truth that the Lord entrusted us all to take care of each other- not just humans but plants and animals as well. Each life is a precious gift here on Earth and at preschool we like to take time out of our busy days to acknowledge and marvel at that.
May peace be with your families this weekend. We pray that we all have some time to marvel at and appreciate one another.
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8 (NIV)
Room 5 had a wet and wild first session of Fun in the Sun Summer Camp here at PCPS!
We’ve learned about God’s creation, Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood, the baby Moses in the river, and Moses growing up to free the Isrealites! This week we are also playing with the theme of Derby races! We are measuring force and learning cause and effect with our hot wheels launch pads, creating art using linear and symmetrical track marks from toy cars, and outside we have pool noodle pony races. We’ve included some fireworks art to extend the Independence Day celebrations of our long weekend, and as always- we still love setting the theme with a great book. This week we are reading, “Wake Up Engines,” by Denise Dowling Mortensen. We can’t wait to blast off into session 2 next week!
“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” – Hebrews 12:1
It’s the second to last day of fiesta week and what better thing to do than bust open some piñatas.The children could barely contain themselves when they found out they were going to open up a piñata and collect some toys and candy. As an added challenge and element of fun, the children were blind folded when they stepped up to bat. The only excitement level was surreal, especially when they heard Mr. Timmy was going to hit piñata as well. Worry not though! An end to fiesta week means the beginning of another party in the following weeks.
