A Joyful December Celebrating the True Meaning of Christmas

December was a special and joy-filled month as we celebrated the true meaning of Christmas—the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

During our December Chapel, we learned about the Nativity story from Luke 2 and watched Stories from the Bible: The Story of Christmas. We also joyfully sang Christmas songs with Mr. Tim as we celebrated Jesus’ birth. Throughout the month, the children enjoyed arts and crafts, including making a Christmas tree ornament to gift to their parents.

Our classrooms were beautifully decorated with Christmas trees donated by the Than Family and ornaments and garlands generously provided by the Lyddon Family. We also read many books about winter and Christmas, filling our days with learning and joy.

A highlight of the season was Grandparents’ Day, where Room 2 did a wonderful job singing “Jesus Is Born Hosannah” and “The King Is Born in Bethlehem,” along with celebrating Happy Birthday, Jesus! We are so thankful for our parent volunteers who helped with setup and the arts and crafts table, and for Mr. Ponton, who joined us during one of our PJs & Hot Cocoa Days to lead us in prayer and sing Christmas songs about Jesus.

What a blessing it is to celebrate our Savior’s birth together! We pray you all have a blessed Christmas and a worshipful winter break. We look forward to seeing everyone in the new year, 2026.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son.” —John 3:16a

“For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” —Luke 2:10–11

A Joyful December in Room 2

Annual Stone Soup Days – Room 2 Highlights

We had a wonderful time celebrating our annual Stone Soup Days! Thank you to all our families for providing ingredients, sides, and treats—your generosity made our celebration so special.

We’re excited to share that Room 2 won “Best Soup” in our preschool’s soup contest!

A special thank you to Ari’s dad and Mariah’s mom for volunteering, reading to our class, and helping cook and serve our soup. We are so grateful.

Along with our celebration, the children enjoyed playing together in the big field and yard, adding even more fun to our days.

We had a wonderful time together. Wishing all our families a blessed Thanksgiving!

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

Our First Chapel with Mr. Tim!

This morning, we enjoyed our very first chapel time with Mr. Tim! Our Theme for September is God is Our Father and our Fruit of the Spirit is Kindness. The children learned all about God’s Creation and celebrated through music and movement. We sang a fun song called “Hip Hip Hooray Hippopotamus” and watched an animated video, Stories of the Bible: Creation. Genesis 1:1 is our Bible memory verse: “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

The Moon at Preschool!

The students learned about Lunar New Year and how the celebration lasts 15 days because it follows the phases of the moon. This prompted the children to become very interested in the moon. They started to notice it more when we were outside. We quickly changed our curriculum to learn about the moon using OREO’s! It was a hit! The kids made moon sand, learned about the phases with the moon by using/eating Oreos and the letter “M,” for Moon! Sometimes we still find the kids making phases of the moon with their ritz crackers or in the sandbox!
