Back to School

School is back in session at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Preschool and we are excited for a new school year with lots of new friends.  Our year is off to a great start so far.  During our second week of school, we learned about the letter A and all about apples.  We read the book "Ten Apples Up On Top" and then we tried to stack 10 apples.  Balancing apples is hard work!

 

We painted with apples and painted pictures of apples.

 We also used apples for some of our projects during centers.

 

 The apple boats were a big hit with all of the kids!

The next week we focused on safety.  We learned how to stay safe at home and at play.  Our Bible story was the Three Men in the Fiery Furnace.  We learned how God kept the men in the fiery furnace safe and that we are safe with God.  Ask your children if they can sing you the song about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  The kids really enjoyed singing this song.  During centers, they all loved pretending to be a firefighter and putting out a fire.

 

During week 4 our theme was friendship.   We learned the Bible verse Proverbs 17:17, A friend loves at all times, and we learned that Jesus wants us to love one another.  We talked about ways to be a good friend and made a list of the ways friends can show their love for each other.  We are so blessed to have such great friends here at Mt. Calvary!  It has only been a few weeks but already we have seen new friendships develop and begin to grow.  Our older students have been very helpful with the younger students, and it has been so much fun to see them all playing and learning together each day.
