MWF Preschool News - Week of Sept. 20

I praise you God, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14

We would like to thank all the parents who attended our curriculum night this week. We are glad to see everyone's interest in their child's preschool education.

We’ve had another great week here at the preschool! This week’s focus was on “Friends and Family.” We talked about our many different kinds of families, including our family at home, our family with Christ, and even our classroom family.

Here are some of the things we did in preschool this week…

Drew a family portrait with markers,
Created “Our Classroom Family” mural,
Made cards for friends or family members
Learned some new songs and fingerplays, such as

“Some Families”

Some families are big. (spread arms out wide)
Some families are small. (bring arms close together)
But God made our families one and all! (point up in the air)

Some families are big. (spread arms out wide)
Some families are small. (bring arms close together)
But God loves our families one and all! (cross arms over chest)

Some families are big. (spread arms out wide)
Some families are small. (bring arms close together)
But God keeps our families one and all! (cup hands in front)

We played on the playground, Duck, Duck, Goose, the Silly Dance Contest, and the Hokey Pokey.
We listened to the stories What Moms Can’t Do, What Dads Can’t Do, by Douglas Wood, and Little Quack’s New Friend by Lauren Thompson.
We also used hole punchers on red paper to develop our fine motor skills, and practiced our writing skills in our notebooks.

Also a reminder, this Wednesday, September 29th, will be our class's preschool picture day.

We had lots of fun this week and hope to have even more next week!
