MWF Preschool News - Week of Dec 13

Dear MWF Families,

This was a joyful Christmas week! We had so much fun singing a variety of our favorite Christmas carols. For our Letter J week, our student brought in a jumprope. For our large motor play we played “Redlight Greenlight” and listened to a Stop Go Follow Me Song in the gym. A parent helper was very kind and brought in a Foam Christmas Wreath project and assisted the class in creating their very own wreath! Our Christmas Party was a real hit! (Many thanks to all of our Parent Helpers!) We enjoyed a great time with all of our students and their loved ones, especially when we sat on our rainbow rug and sang “Happy Birthday Jesus,” “Away In A Manger,” and “Jingle Bells.” It was very peaceful as we watched the snow falling …We wish you peace this Christmas!

Here are some other highlights of our week.
Colored and glued to create a Christmas Wreath on a Paper Plate.
Wrote on Christmas Cards to give to our loved ones.
Made geometric designs with Red and Green Tanagrams.
Read the story Is It Christmas? By John Prater.
Heard the story Asleep In The Stable by Will Hillenbrand.
Played with puppets using our Christmas Manger Figurines
Played with a Jumbo Jungle Floor Puzzle
Had a terrific time celebrating Christmas with all of you!


With Peace,
Miss Lori, Miss Donna, Miss Pat and Miss Jean

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas! We will see you back at Preschool on Wednesday January 6, 2009!

T-Th Preschool News - Week of Dec 13

Hello Tuesday-Thursday Families,

We've been so busy all month long preparing for Christmas! We've been busy making paper chains so we can "Deck the Halls"...


We've been painting with red and green paints...


But most importantly, we've been preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus!


Here are some of the other things we've been doing lately...
Developing our fine motor skills while we painted, played with play dough and made paper chains (you'd think it was really letter P week here!)
Decorated Christmas trees to put over our cubbies
Traced our hands onto brown paper so we could make reindeer antlers
Worked on our pre-math skills using our peg boards and colorful pegs


Listened to some wonderful Christmas stories including...
The Stable Where Jesus Was Born by Rhonda Gowler Greene
My Christmas Alphabet by Claudia Kunin
This is the Stable by Cynthia Cotten
Who Was Born This Special Day by Eve Bunting
The Night Before Christmas by Clement C. Moore

And of course, we celebrated Christmas in Fellowship Hall with many of you! It was so wonderful to see you there. Enjoy your time away from school, have a wonderful Christmas, and we'll see you back at preschool in 2010 (January 5th, to be exact!)

Christmas Blessings to you and your family!
Miss Jean, Miss Lacy and Miss Pat
