I trust everyone is having a good summer so far. I know I had a fun on vacation these past 2 weeks with my kids. Enjoy every moment with your children. They are truly a blessing! I wanted to thank Ms. Hannah, Ms. Tara, and Ms. Lily for covering for me while I was away.
Our summer program has started off well. We have already explored Antarctica and North America. Stop in the corner room some time to see our “bubble art” project and flags from around the world that the kids decorated last month. This month we are also looking more closely at South America and it’s varying habitats of rain forests and mountains. We will also be looking at Europe and Asia this month. There are art projects, library visits, science demonstrations, and fun crafts planned to explore our world.

I cannot believe this is the last week of preschool for the 2017-2018 school year! We continue to rehearse for our program this Friday, May 18th. If you cannot make it on Friday evening, please let us know so we can send home all of your child’s final schoolwork. Please remember to drop your preschooler and snack items off in the infant room on the daycare level a little before 7:00 p.m., and parents and guests will then go down the hall to the sanctuary. A jungle party will begin immediately afterwards in the Social Hall at the bottom level. Please sign up to bring a snack or other item if you have not already done so.
This week we will be rehearsing for our program and graduation on Friday, May 18th. Every family is encouraged to join us. You can drop your preschooler off in the infant room on the daycare level a little before 7:00 p.m. and go down the hall to the sanctuary. The teachers will lead the preschoolers in and begin our program. A jungle party will begin immediately afterwards in the Social Hall at the bottom level. A sign-up sheet will be made available if you would like to contribute snacks for the party. We will also have artwork from the school year on display for everyone to enjoy!
We had a great time at Living Treasures on Friday! If you were not able to go, I would recommend it for a fun family outing this summer. There were many animals and to be able to feed and pet many of them was a great hands-on experience.
Last week we had a good time learning about how we can help the earth. Your little one should know all about how to recycle! Just 4 weeks left in our school year! We are learning more about nature, how tadpoles become frogs, and about creepy crawlys like spiders. We are focusing on 2 letters this week (V and W), and the preschoolers continue to count and measure things. The next few weeks in Bible time our focus will be on the armor of God that we learn about in Ephesians 6. We will begin by talking about and doing activities related to the belt of truth.
Earth Day is April 22, so we will be talking about what we can do to help the earth by recycling and picking up litter so that we don’t become “litter bugs”. Our letter focus is “U”, and we will be counting, reviewing numbers, and measuring things that are short and tall. In Bible time, we will read how the apostle Paul’s was helped by his fellow Christians and about his shipwreck on the Island of Malta.
