Easter Sunday is on April 4th and what better way to celebrate but with a party!! We danced,ate snack, wore bunny ears, made crafts and read from the Bible.

We had such a fun time with the eggs and the bunnies and the chicks but we all know that the real reason we celebrate Easter is because of Jesus and his never ending love.

We are so fortunate to be able to celebrate in all the big ways and little ways too! Happy Easter to all!

We started off our day with an exciting book reading by Mr. Tim. We all love his visits to the classroom and the fun voices that he does when he reads. Thanks Mr. Tim!

The Catchy Song, Freeze Dance, and Animal Freeze by Jack Hartmann were all requested.

Today we had a very green day! We decided to combine St. Patrick’s day with Green Eggs and Ham. From the first yard time to the end of the day we were all about green.

We also used green and gold for our decorations because of St. Patrick’s Day and because they are our colors for March.

Today was a day filled with dancing and laughing and a lot of fun.

And we get to do it all again tomorrow!

Practicing staying safe is an important part of our preschool curriculum. This includes periodic fire/earthquake drills. On Thursday, March 11 the entire preschool took part in a fire drill. Everyone exited the preschool to muster up in the preschool parking lot for a quick headcount. The children did a fantastic job listening to teachers and we had an incredibly smooth drill. Great work everyone!

We have had some warm and sunny days recently and we took full advantage of them. Playing comes so naturally to us and we do it every day!

Today has been such a wet day and we haven’t gone outside much but it’s fun to look back on last week when we did!

Room 3 has been very interested in dinosaurs recently: being them, playing with them and discovering them.

We have been playing with dinosaurs and pretending to be them for a couple of weeks and we are learning things along the way.

Playing is such an important part of what we do at school. During playtime we learn to work together, share, and express ourselves in positive ways.

We enjoy playing with each other! It’s the best part of our day. We greet each other enthusiastically when we arrive and we cheerfully say goodbye at the end of the day.

We are building relationships everyday through work and play.

We had so much snack that Ms. Kira was afraid we wouldn’t have room for our lunches.

We had such a good time celebrating love and remembering to be loving. We danced and ran and climbed and created so many things!

The Room 3 teachers are thankful we get to do a job we love with such wonderful children and families. We love you all and we thank God that we can share that love with you and each other!

While we are celebrating love all month long we are especially doing so for the next couple of days. We started our day in the yard with an exciting dance party and playing on the structure!

Today was a busy day and we enjoyed it so much!

February Chapel is always a great time to talk about love and specifically, God’s love.

For this chapel we read 1 John 4:7-13, which discusses how much God loves us and the role we play in sharing God’s love with the world.

Our focus song was G.O.D. is L.O.V.E. based on 1 John 4:8 & 16 and we learned how to spell it out using American sign language.

We also enjoyed reading the book Because God Loves Me! Below you will find the link to Mr. Tim’s YouTube version of the story.

We concluded chapel by brainstorming how we can show love at the preschool. The most popular answers across all the classrooms were…share, give hugs, say “hi”, and give cards.

We are so grateful for the love of God and the ability to share that love with the world.
