“Thank You God for Our Families”
Tristan & Jaxon were rocking in the boat when I heard Tristan say “Amen.”
I looked over & saw they had their hands folded.
I asked Tristan what he was praying for and he said “Lunch.”
Preschool News
TEACHER: Ms. Ashley
Our themes were: “Hurray for Preschool” “I Come to Preschool” “I Have Five Senses” “Favorite Things” “Letters: M P B”
Our Bible verses were: “Jesus Had Friends” “God Made Me” “I Am Wonderfully Made” “We Work Together” “God Gives Us Things to Enjoy”
We did science, art, math, &/or cooking projects that related to the books being shared.
It was fun because we did an art project that related to “Little Blue & Little Yellow” where we put our hand in either blue paint or yellow paint
& gave our friend a high five until we made a new color (green). For the book “Mouse Colors” we painted using plastic mice.
For the book “If You Give a Moose a Muffin” we did a cooking project & made yummy chocolate chip muffins.
For the “Brown Bear, Brown Bear” book we did a math activity where we had
to sort bears by colors & weigh them to see how many bears weighed the same.
For the “Polar Bear What Do You Hear” book we did an art activity where
we had bells attached to our paint brushes that rang as we painted.
We also did a lot of other fun activities this month & got to explore our fun new room.
