Happy Grandparent’s Day 2020

Grandparents make the world a little softer, a little kinder, and a little warmer. Happy Grandparent’s Day. Our little ones are here to sing some songs for you.

“THANK YOU GOD”

Here we are making a fall wreath and Practicing fine motor skills, they are peeling the paper off the sticker and placing fall items on the paper plate an simple,and easy activity that will help good practice and strengthen the young children’s hand a skill used in pre- writing skills.

The things that class 4 said they were thankful for. They brought tears to our eyes. We asked each child; Why are you thankful for? Penelope, Carter and Charles, “I am thankful for my mommy.” Caden, “I am thankful for my sister, mommy and daddy.” Eden,”I am thankful for my daddy bring me to school.” Evelyn,“ I am thankful for my teacher.” Isaiah,“I am thankful for my sister in mommy’s tummy.” JulietteI am thankful for my family.” Lucas, “I am thankful for soup.” Rune, “I am thankful for the trees.” Even at this age they are capturing what a blessing it is to have Jesus in their life.

FOX TAIL SOUP

Thank you parents for supporting us in this long time tradition at Pasadena Christian Preschool. There are many versions to stone soup and the shortest story for class 4 is “Fox Tail soup,” Thank you for bringing all the vegetables and sides. The kids had fun chopping and tasting them. The soup was delicious and all the kids seemed to enjoy the soup. Enjoy your Thanksgiving week, stay safe and may God bless you and your family.

Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good. Psalms 106:1

BROWN POTATOES

What room 4 had to say about potatoes.

Potatoes are brown, hard and look like ovals. Teacher: “What can we do potatoes?” “We can touch them,” “ We can smell them,” “ We can lick them,” 🥰 Teacher: “Potatoes need to be washed, peeled and cook. Let’s take the skin off and cut them.” Kids: “ The potato has no seeds,” “The pumpkin had lot of seeds,” “Can we eat it now? Teacher: “We will cut them into small strips and put them in the fryer.” “Presto,” Kids: “They are French fries, like McDonals.” “ They are good.” “My mommy buys me French fries.” “I get some too.”

VEGETABLE PREVIEW

We had a little preview of our vegetables we will be using for stone soup next week. The kids got to identify, touch, smell and taste many different kinds of vegetable.

OUR PUMPKIN PATCH

We had a blast at our indoor pumpkin patch, the kids explored different size, texture, shape and color pumpkins.

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 — Our song/story book for today’s Chapel

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.
Colossians 4:2

APPLE PUMPKIN FUN

This month we read many different apple and pumpkin books such as; “Up,up, up It’s Apple Picking Time” by Judy Flickes Shapiro, “The Biggest Apple Ever,” “The Biggest Pumpkin Surprise Ever!” by Steven Kroll, “The Apples on the Tree,” by Steve Metzger, “Plumpy, Dumply Pumpkin,” by Mary Serfozo, “Too Many Pumpkins,” by Linda White, “The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid Of Anything,” by Linda Williams and “ The Pumpkin Patch Parable,” by Liz Curtis Higgs. Some of these books are too long for some of our kiddos so we paraphrase them as we see fit. During circle time we picked special books to read and others were read through out the day.

Our pumpkin patch on the loft was decorated with all the pumpkins you all brought to class, it looks adorable.🥰 Today we all indulge in some popcorn and a movie and a gummy worm.
