A, B, C, easy as 1, 2, 3 (and 4)!

This week we reviewed the letters A, B, and C, as well as the number four.  We also learned all about our miraculous bodies that God created.  Keeping in terms with the theme of the human body, Miss Brigid did a science lesson with us about our lungs!  Learning about our bodies and their capabilities truly reflects how much care God took in creating us-and we are so wonderfully made!  Please enjoy some photographs I've included depicting this week's activities.

Cuties at center time!

Beautiful girls working at the art center!

We are so greatly enjoying the blessing that is working with your children.  Thank you for your constant support and interest in your child's education!

Just a reminder that our fall bonfire is next Friday!  Hope to see you all there.  Have a great weekend!!

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn

Fall Father's Fun Day

Last Friday, we had our Fall Father's Fun Day!  Even though Father's Day is during the summer, we still wanted to have a chance to celebrate our fathers at school.  We had a fun afternoon with our daddies, and did many exciting things: we had a picnic lunch, a scavenger hunt, piggy back races, and a made a craft.  I'm so sorry I was unable to post the pictures on my usual post day-we just had so many that they took a couple days to load!  Thank you, Jesus, for the love of our fathers!

Sweet snuggles

We love our Daddys!

Fun!

 

Painting!

After our celebration, some of our dads stayed and helped work on the playground.  They worked for over two hours in the sun to help finish our new sandbox, as well as distribute wood chips across the playground.  They also dug the hole for our upcoming bonfire.  It is truly amazing to see the dedication and love our fathers have for their children and for their children's school.  Thank you to all those who stayed to help-you are fabulous, and our playground looks amazing!

Peace and Joy,
Miss Brooklyn

"God, bless all the fathers in the world. Guide them to be good role models and loving to all their children. Help them to be a father like You are. Give them grace and patience to handle situations in a loving way." Amen

Stay Tuned!

I know it's Friday, which is my normal "blog" day, but I'm waiting on pictures from our Fall Father's Fun Day today to upload!  We had an amazing time with our daddys today and I can't wait to post all about it!  Please stay tuned and check back next week.

Peace and joy,

Happy New School Year!

Welcome to all of our preschool families!  I am so glad you were able to locate and view our classroom blog.  Miss Hannah, as well as all of our other teachers and I, are so passionate about the work we do with your children.  One of our goals as teachers is to communicate your child's learning experiences with you all, so that you truly feel apart of their educational path.  We love celebrating your children for exactly who they are and for all the efforts they make at school.  I hope you might see this blog as a form of valuable communication, as well as a way to celebrate your child's growth here at Mount Calvary Preschool.  I try to post every Friday, but I apologize in advance for any time I might miss an upload.  Please feel free to share the blog URL with grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.  This blog is for you and your child and I invite you to share it with anyone you love!

For those of you who are already familiar with our classroom blog and have been checking for new updates, I apologize that I haven't posted anything from the new year yet.  I wanted to give us a couple weeks to get the ball rolling.  That being said, the children have been adapting beautifully to the new school year!  They show growth daily and I'm really looking forward to all that is to come!

This week we focused on the letter B.  We made binoculars, created a spider web, went on a bug hunt, and played with bubbles.  We also made pretend bugs out of craft supplies, and again with pretzels, M&Ms, and sugar cookies.  If I have learned one thing from my time here at Mount Calvary, it is that preschool children LOVE bugs and are absolutely fearless when it comes to anything creepy or crawly.  It is such a reminder of how every creation God makes is beautiful-I love watching them appreciate every detail of this world.  This week we also had our first science lesson with Miss Brigid.  Thank you Miss Brigid for such an awesome lesson and for devoting your time to our children!

Here are some fun photographs from our week:

Science rocks!  Thank you Miss Brigid!

We're going on a bug hunt!

 We are so thankful to have your children with us at Mount Calvary this school year.  Here's to a great year of frienship, learning, and happiness!

Peace and joy,
Miss Brooklyn
