Using our five senses, taste, smell, touch, hear, and sight with all different kinds of apples.

Our preschool theme for the year, “All Hands on Deck,” has already been taking place in room 3 as we taught the children how to properly wash their hands. We started with an interactive demonstration pouring a little black pepper into a container of water,  a cut-out hand at the bottom of the container, and dish soap. The black pepper represents germs, and each child applied a drop of soap to the pepper water, which repelled the pepper. Then we gave each child hand soap, taught them how to scrub both sides of their hands and in between their fingers before rinsing with water and drying with a paper towel. Last week, we also read Pete the Kitty Wash Your Hands to help us implement this lesson. Everyone had fun and did a great job!

Summer is at an end, and we want to showcase some of the fun times that we had together.

We had lots of birthdays to celebrate this summer, and our lovely parents have provided us with special snacks to help us celebrate. Special snacks can be cut fruit, juice boxes, allergy friendly granola bites, and can sometimes be as grand as popsicles or a pizza party!

We also had lots of water and bubble play to cool ourselves from the summer heat. Water pads and preschool car washes were the crowd favorites.

We enjoyed lots of ocean-themed art projects and dancing. We would have the children dance to songs without looking at the screen to see how well they remembered the movements. We also identified shapes while doing glow in the dark dancing with glow sticks and our colorful classroom lights.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our Heavenly Father, so we would praise Him by reading Bible stories together in the classroom and at chapel with the whole preschool each week.

We are grateful for all of the fun we’ve had with our friends, and we send prayers to the families who will not return in the Fall. We pray the Lord will be with you in your transitions and give you grace and patience for yourselves and each other. Take care, and God bless 🙏.

The kiddos assembled their special snack, starting with half a graham cracker. Next, they spread a vibrant blue frosting and then crowned it with one Swedish Fish—mmm, mmm, mmm!

It is week two of our summer program, and the children in Class #3 have already begun to adjust and feel at home in their new environment. It didn’t take long for them to become comfortable with the classroom and their new teachers. They are having a great time exploring their creativity through art activities and water play. One of the biggest highlights in the class has been the loft, which the kids are thoroughly enjoying. It’s been a fun and exciting start to the summer!

It is always fun to hear Mr. Tim play the ukulele, sing, and lead us in worship. So far, we’ve had two Bible lessons with him. The first was about Noah, where we learned Psalm 139:1 and sang “Wherever I Go” and “Always.” The second lesson was about Jonah, focusing on 1 John 5:15, and we sang “O the Deep, Deep Sea.” Mr. Tim makes learning about God exciting and joyful through music and stories.

We are very grateful for our parents, we had so many request from all of you in this busy time of the year, but you all come through with your family selfie, new Christmas Tree, tree ornament and art provided for our Happy Birthday Jesus Celebration.
