We had a blast in Wacky Week! The kids enjoyed dressing up and reading some great Dr. Seuss books all week long. This week we continue to learn about rhyming words and looking at classic nursery rhymes such as “Humpty Dumpty” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb”. The animal focus this week is horses and cows. The preschoolers are already having fun playing with farm animal toys and puzzles. In Bible time, we are reading about various relationships. Jesus shows his love to little children and tells of the Good Samaritan who showed love to his enemy as a good neighbor should.
Teddy Bear Portraits will be back on March 25th. This spring, the 4 year old preschoolers will be getting their picture taken in a cap and gown. Please consider coming to view the photos that afternoon for purchase.
Mark your Calendars:
March 25 – Teddy Bear Portraits
March 27 – Scholastic Book orders due
April 8 & 9 – Easter Party for 4 year old and 3 year old classes
Thank you and have a great week!

It is “Wacky Week” for day care 
For the final week in February, our focus is the stars and galaxies beyond our own. We will also be reading about big things in the ocean like giant squid and whales. In small group, the preschoolers will be working on fine motor skills doing letter lacing cards and sorting letters and numbers. Jesus’ early ministry, his baptism, and temptation are the focus in Bible Time.
We had a fun time on Thursday and Friday celebrating Valentine’s Day! Thanks for all of your contributions. We played games, read Valentine’s day stories, made heart rubbings, and ate lots of yummy food. There will be one more classroom party held at Easter time.
I hope everyone enjoyed the day off preschool and stayed safe last Friday due to the snow day. Please remember to check WPXI and messages with the Remind App for delays and closures.
In the month of February, the preschoolers will be exploring outer space and the depths of the oceans, two areas where there is still so much for humans to discover. This week, we will learn about our solar system and what types of animals live in the ocean. Looking forward to Valentine’s Day, we will talk about what it means to be loving and kind. We will read in Bible time about what the people of Israel did to rebuild their city and temple after returning from the exile.
I wanted to thank parents for meeting with me this past week. It is always helpful to get feedback from each other, and it’s good to know going forward how best to help the children as they continue to grow, learn, and develop.
