It’s our final week of preschool! Wow, did it go by quickly! This week we will discuss what it is like to go camping. We are also reviewing the alphabet, counting, and using scissors. We will visit the garden this week and water the new plants. In Bible we will read about how Paul and Silas were freed from jail and about John’s revelation.
The final progress reports will be sent home this week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to seeing friends and family come out to our End-of-the-year program and preschool graduation which begins in the sanctuary at 7 p.m. on Friday, the 17th. Please have your preschoolers in the preschool classroom by 7 p.m. If your preschooler is unable to attend, please let us know so that we can still give them their certificate and gift.
A sign-up sheet for contributing snacks for our party will be available by the preschool classroom door. Send us a message if you are unable to see the sign-up sheet and would like to contribute a snack to the party. Snacks and supplies can be dropped off on the last preschool day or brought on Friday when you are dropping off the children for the program. The Art Show and Rootin’ Tootin’ Wild West Party will begin in the social hall right after the program.
Mark your Calendars:
May 15 – Last day of 4-year-old preschool
May 16 – Last day of 3-year-old preschool
May 17 – End-of-the-year Program and Preschool Graduation, 7 p.m.
Thank you and have a great summer!

Our “Livestock Show” is Monday and Tuesday. All of the children can bring in their favorite stuffed animal to show their class. We will continue to learn about cowboys, cowgirls, and horses this week. We are also practicing counting and recognizing numbers. In Bible time, we will read about Jesus’ disciples, Peter and John, as they carry on Christ’s ministry and we will read about Paul’s conversion.
We had a good time at Living Treasures! The rain held off long enough for us to enjoy seeing the animals. We are starting our final month of preschool! This month we will learn about the Wild West and what it is like to be a cowboy or cowgirl. We will also be looking at desert animals this week. We are reading from our Bible story book about how Jesus ascends into heaven and about the new church.
The butterflies have arrived! We will feed them and observe them for a few days then we will be releasing them early this week. Monday is Earth Day, so we will be talking about how to take care of our planet. Every student has planted their own flower seeds this past week. We will watch them grow, and the children will be able to take them home at the end of the school year. Our Bible story this week is on the resurrection of Christ and how he revealed himself to his disciples after the miraculous event.
The caterpillars will soon be butterflies in the preschool classroom. They will be moved to the butterfly habitat where they will emerge from their chrysalis. In class we will talk about the butterfly life cycle and make caterpillar or butterfly pictures. We have finished going over the alphabet a second time covering both upper and lower case letters. We will spend the last few weeks reviewing the alphabet and practicing number recognition. In Bible we are reading about the last supper and other events leading up to the crucifixion.
Thank you to the working moms who have come to share a little bit about what they do with our preschoolers this week. Day 1 of our career day was a success, and we are looking forward to day 2!
In the month of April we will be focusing on spring. This week we will talk about rain and how it helps the plants to grow. Our animal theme is insects and we will read The Icky Bug Alphabet Book and make some ladybug prints. In class we will practice the fine motor skills by cutting shapes and picking up beads (raindrops) to place on umbrella pictures. We will learn more about Jesus this week and how he healed the blind beggar and went to Zacchaeus, the tax collector’s, home.
