Welcome, Spring!

Cheese!

Happy Friday, friends!  I hope you had a restful spring break.  It's been awhile since I've been able to post, as we haven't had school the past couple Fridays!  I looked at our last post and remembered all the snow we had just a few weeks ago.  It's crazy to me how quickly the weather changes here in Flagstaff!  Here at preschool, we are definitely gearing up for spring and warmer weather, and of course, Easter.

Snow!

Happy Friday!   I apologize that there was no post last week-I was out of town.  How have you been enjoying the snow?  We love the snow at recess time, especially with our new sled slide!

Kamy and her daddy enjoying the sled slide!  Thanks, Mr. Andrew, for all the time and effort you put into this amazing new addition to our playground!

Hooray!

Snow angels!

While we were playing in the snow, we noticed bunny tracks!

We then decided to follow the tracks, pretending we were bunnies, too!

We love snow!

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn

Best Day Ever

Hi there!

Can you believe it's already the weekend?  Time just seems to fly by.  

This week we learned all about the letter R.  We also listened to the Bible story of Zacchaeus, and learned the number 20.

Such a sweet moment of friends helping friends.

Singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to learn about the letter "R!"

So fun!

I also wanted to include some pictures of our friend Ty, who has learned how to jump rope!  I'm not much of an action photographer, but I still think the pictures turned out cute :).

The last thing I wanted to share this week is very, very exciting.  Thanks to donations from our preschool community, we reached our financial goal for the sled slide!  Your helping hands and giving hearts are so appreciated.  I sound like a broken record, but the generosity of this community is always so touching.  The children got to test out the sled slide today and were SO happy to do so.  So embarrassing to admit but I almost got emotional seeing how happy they were all playing together-I'm such a sap!  One child even exclaimed, "This is the best day ever!" as she ran from the bottom of the slide back to the steps for another turn.  In addition to all the monetary donations, I'd like to thank all who helped physically with this project, especially Mr. Andrew.  Your kindness is a gift.

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day, friends!  Today we had our special Valentine's Day party.  It was a hit!  We enjoyed treats, games, crafts, and of course, lots and lots of Valentine cards.  The children had a wonderful time.  I want to say THANK YOU to every parent volunteer who either donated food/supplies, volunteered, or helped plan.  A special thank you to the mothers that stayed after to help clean, as well!  Our preschool parties are always so amazing thanks to everyone's generous heart and collaborative efforts.

Playing hopscotch!

Those heart glasses were my personal favorite <3

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn

Finally, I wanted to give you all a sneak peak of yet another amazing project Mr. Andrew and Miss Laurie are working on for our classroom.  Some of you may have noticed the painting Miss Laurie did this week in the wall space above our classroom loft.  Miss Hannah and I are so excited to see the finished product.  We feel so grateful for all the time, talent, and treasures that our community continuously puts into making our school so special.  Speaking of gratitude, I also wanted to thank everyone who has donated to the sled slide project.  The generosity this community demonstrates makes my heart swell.

As always, thank you for taking the time to read!  Enjoy your weekend!

Peace and joy,

Miss Brooklyn
