When you ask the class what month we are in their first answer is Valentines! We then remind them that it is February, but it is when we celebrate Valentines and the many different ways that we can show love to each other.

We had some great parties this year and here are some photos:

Ms. Heather and our volunteers made pancakes and they were so good! It was a day full of fun and treats and we are so happy that we got to celebrate together.

We are so happy to be back in action!

Although we can’t make up for lost time, students and teachers are naturals at picking up where we left off.

We’ve been reading new books, exploring new toys and caring for one another.

We have missed small groups and have rushed right back into them. The class asked for them when we first returned.

This week the children have been engaged with marshmallow projects, ice experiments, puzzles, and letters M, N, O, P.

Everyones’ eagerness to return has shown how important preschool is. Moving forward we will continue regular small group routine and keep working towards our skill goals.

This year’s “Happy Birthday, Jesus” celebration in Room 2 was filled with joy and family. We were delighted to have families join us for crafts in our classroom, where parents and children worked together to decorate snowflake and manger ornaments.

The children then performed two beautiful songs, “We’re Looking for a King” and “What a Glorious Night,” beautifully capturing the true meaning of Christmas. They did an amazing job!

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who made this event so special, and a special thanks to our room mom and parent volunteers! We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year filled with love, peace, and joy.

“For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” — Luke 2:11

This year’s Grandparents Day in Room 2 was a truly special celebration filled with love and joy. The children were thrilled to have their grandparents join them, and their smiles said it all. The highlight of the day was their performance of What a Glorious Night. The children sang with enthusiasm, and the grandparents beamed with joy! It was so sweet to have the grandparents visit our classroom after.

Thank you to all the grandparents who came and made the day so special — your presence was a gift that the children will treasure forever! Here’s to many more wonderful memories shared with those who hold such a special place in our hearts!

“Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers.” -Proverbs 17:6

We have a Preschool tradition of making Stone soup each year and even though we don’t always add the stone we still have the most important ingredient. Sharing.

Here is a slideshow of what we did for those two days!

Thank you all for donating both the ingredients and for your time. The class loved having all of our parent volunteers and everything that was brought for our special celebration.

We also wrapped up the week with the annual pumpkin drop. As one of the oldest classes on the preschool side we got to help clean up and keep some of the seeds from the drop. It really was a fun and full week.
