T-Th Preschool News - Week of Sept 6

A cheerful look brings joy to the heart. Proverbs 15:30

Dear Tuesday-Thursday Families

It has been a wonderful first week at school! Our two main goals this week have been getting to know your children and helping them adjust to their new environment. We are also learning our morning routine and getting familiar with our classroom environment and our classroom rules.

Here are some of the things we've been doing already in just two days...
Learning our good morning and good bye songs...

Good Morning Song


Hello, Hello
Hello and how are you?
I'm fine, I'm fine
And I hope that you are too!

Good Bye Song


Now our time at school is done
We've learned so much and had some fun!
We'll be back to smile and play
And see our friends another day!

And learning our grace prayer at snack time...

Thank you God, for the world so sweet
Thank you God, for the food we eat
Thank you God, for the birds that sing
Thank you God, for everything!

Starting our day with Play Dough while we get to know each other
Learning to sit together on our rainbow rug (your children did great!!)
Listening to the story I Like Me (in big book form)
Listening to the story Good Night Moon (also in big book form)
Drawing a picture of our first day at preschool and coloring a big apple shape
Playing with some puppets at the Exploration Station
Enjoying our beautiful weather while playing on the playground

As you can see, it's been a busy first week, and Miss Lacy, Miss Pat and I are looking forward to spending the next several months getting to know you and your children much better! Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to our new environment and our new friendships!

Looking forward to next week!
Miss Jean, Miss Lacy and Miss Pat
