Farm Day!

We have had so much fun on Farm Day! Room 3 has been anticipating this day all week.

We watched other classes play with the animals and we sang Old McDonald had a farm while we waited for our turn.
We got to pet goats and ducks and even a horse!
Blondie was a very big horse and we got to feed him!
We watched the ducks drink water!
We had so much fun with the animals that we asked about them even after nap!
We also had fun just running around and playing “The Floor is Lava” on both the structure and in the sandbox.

We had so much fun on farm day and we look forward to Day 2!

Chapel – November 2020

November is full of so many things from autumn leaves, squash, farm fun, concepts of gratitude/thankfulness as well as times spent with family and loved ones. It is the family theme that inspires this months Bible focus on Noah’s Ark. Noah’s Ark is the prefect story for preschool to discuss the concepts of talking/listening to God, family, and of course animals. The children had a wonderful time singing “Rise & Shine” and “This is the Day” along with reading from our children’s rhyming Bible.

Rise and Shine! by Tim Warnes

It’s a Brand New Month!

Huzzah to November! We are kicking off the month with lots of fun outside time! We have really enjoyed the wagons on the yard.

We love getting rides in our wagons.

We have had so much fun in the sandbox and Mr. Yorlin has made really big bubbles!

Mr. Tim has been a special visitor and he read us a story and played his ukulele. We love singing with Mr. Tim.

We’ve been building and reading and playing all together!

We love helping Mr. Tim push the hot lunch cart down the hallway.

It’s only been 4 days but November has been a blast so far. We are looking forward to the rest of this fun month!

Pajama Day!

Today was such a fun day! Room 3 had a awesome pajama day. Every single friend showed up in their pajamas! We played the floor is lava on the structure. And danced and danced in the wood chips.

We helped Ms. Sheri with a cooking project and had delicious pumpkin pancakes for snack today!!

Cooking with Ms. Sheri was so much fun.
Our pancakes were so good!
Some of our friends ate them before Ms. Kira could get pictures!

Our pajamas were so cool we had to take some pictures! We kept trying to jump in each other’s pictures.

Smiles for miles!
We love wearing pajamas at school.

We played on our patio and had so much fun running around!

We enjoyed playing with a car ramp and hanging rings all over our bodies!

It has been a very full day in Room 3 and a great way to end the week!

The Great Shakeout!

The Great California ShakeOut - Resources: Web Banners

Today the preschool took part in the Great California Shakeout. Schools, businesses, and companies across the state participate each year in practicing what to do in case of an earthquake. At the preschool we call our “duck and cover” procedure, “Bunnies in the Hole.” All the classes had a fantastic time running through the whole process from “duck and cover” to mustering all the way to the big field on the main campus. They kids did a great job staying safe and listening to their teachers!

Chapel – October 2020

We had our first Preschool Chapel of the school year and we’re so excited! It was a wonderful time spent together singing, worshiping, sharing Bible stories, and enjoying the beautiful day that the Lord has made.

Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Matthew 5:16
Song: You Are the Light of the World by Steve Green, Hide ’em in Your Heart Vol. 1

Special Visitor Today!

Today we had the extreme privilege of a visit from B.G. Hennessy, the current author of the Corduroy books, as well as over 35 other children’s titles. She is the proud grandmother of two of our own preschool kiddos who were extremely proud to share her with us. Each classroom was blessed with an individual presentation by Mrs. Hennessy. The kids from Room 5 to 1 sat in rapt attention as she shared her fantastic and whimsical stories with us. We can’t thank her enough for her visit and sincerely hope she comes back soon.

American Sign Language in Room 3

This morning we welcomed a few Maranatha High School students to be apart of storytime, in Room 3. These third year American Sign Language (ASL) students shared what ASL is and demonstrated their fluency with some fun stories! Our special guests read: How to Babysit Grandma, Butterfly Garden, If You Give a Moose a Muffin, Curious George Curious Kittens, and Ten Little Fish. They taught us a few words like: grandma, moose, puppy, and fish. It was a wonderful opportunity to gain exposure to a beautiful language that many of us do not get to encounter very often. Check out this clip from storytime!

Zoo-pendous Day!

On our field trip today, Room 3 ventured out of the classroom to explore the Los Angeles Zoo! We used picture maps to find our way to flamingos, alligators, giraffes, elephants and other incredible creatures. As we trekked through the zoo with our little ones, we observed and discussed so many interesting characteristics of the animals around us. Together, we invested in building friendships, language development, color awareness, pre-reading skills, listening skills, gross motor development, and expanding our knowledge of the world around us. Check out some fun moments from our zoo-pendous day together!
