T-Th Preschool News - Week of Jan 10

"Let your light shine before men." Matthew 5:16

Hello Tuesday-Thursday Families,

It was a snowy week for us at preschool! We had so much fun singing a song about making a snowman, and hearing a "paper story" about The Disappearing Snowman. We sent a copy of the story home with each child, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

At story time, we read one of our Usborne books called "The Snowy Day." The story talks about all of the fun things that we can do in the snow. Then we each made snow globe pictures and wrote down what our favorite snow activity was!

Since it was Letter L week, we made Lemon and Lime prints for art...


and we played with Lacing Cards that were shaped like animals (and one card that was shaped like an ark). The lacing cards are excellent fine motor practice (and might even lead some of the children to a love for sewing!).


We had some music and motion fun this week by playing with Lummi sticks. If you haven't heard of them, they are wooden sticks that can tap along with the beat of a song. The children followed the directions very well when we asked them to hold them safely and keep them a safe distance away from each other. We will definitely bring them out again some day!

Looking forward to seeing you all next week!
Miss Jean, Miss Amy and Miss Pat
