MWF Preschool News - Week of Feb 14

Quietness and trust is your strength. Isaiah 30:15

Hello MWF Preschool Families!

We had a great week here at preschool! This week we learned all about land transportation and the Letter Q.

Monday was Valentines Day and we celebrated by giving valentine cards to all of our friends. In art we made special Valentine cards for our moms, dads, and siblings. We also played many games that included counting, matching, and lacing hearts. We listened to the story If You’ll Be My Valentine by Cynthia Rylant, and we topped our Valentines Day off with a wonderful snack.


Wednesday we learned about many of the means of transportation that get us from one place to another. For art we made tire tracks with black paint on white paper. We discovered that the wheels on different cars make very neat patterns (and some of us discovered how much fun it was to make fingerprints!). We played a Mini Motors Math game which helped us with counting and taking turns. We also read the story and listened to the song “We All Go Traveling By” by Sheena Roberts.


Friday was a busy day for us! In the morning we had our eye and hearing exams, followed by chapel with Pastor Greg. After chapel we learned about quilts, because they start with the letter Q. We decorated our own quilt squares in art and they were sewn together with yarn to make a beautiful quilt!


Here are some other things that we did this week…

Played with the train in small groups,
Used Letter Builders,
Made cards for friends,
Played with our All Around Town game,
Sang the song “Wheels on the Bus,”
Wrote in our notebooks,
Practiced throwing and catching Frisbees.

Have a wonderful weekend!
