Preschoolers love being one of Jesus’ little lambs. We spend every day hearing God’s words and promises to us, His children. So Holy Week is an extra special time of the year to focus on Jesus love. We remembered Jesus love with a celebration. A note was left saying that “a friend of Preschoolers“ had hidden eggs and baskets for us. We went on a hunt and even the secretaries didn’t see anyone sneak in! But we eventually found eggs and baskets! Blessings to everyone from our classroom! 🫶🏼

Our theme in March was “Dr. Seuss and Mother Goose”, so when we completed Seuss we spent time with Mother Goose nursery rhymes. I’ve included just a few of the fun activities that we did during the month. For Miss Muffet we made spider webs, (look close at the green yarn web that we took turns climbing through) and had a lot of fun trying to make walls that Humpty Dumpty wouldn’t fall off and break! And Georgie Porgy would have loved our pudding for a snack - but no kissing the girls! ❤️🪿👑🥚❤️

The Sun, Earth and the Moon are exciting to learn about, but Preschoolers are usually in bed fast asleep when we think of using a telescope. But that didn’t stop us from checking out the letters and small toys that were attached to the fence at the end of the parking lot. Mr. Peil brought his medium sized telescope to school for us and we found out that it’s a little difficult to close one eye and look through the eyepiece with the other eye! It was fun to do math with “Starburst” candy and we used coffee filters to create all of our art projects for this theme. ❤️🌞🌛🌎⭐️❤️

Dr. Seuss is such a fun theme. We made hats and cat noses so that we could wear them as we read our favorite Dr. Seuss books. Our favorite book was the “The Cat in the Hat” and the sequel “The Cat in the Hat Comes Back!” We did some patterns with red and white blocks. We also made our own “Wocket” to put in our “Pockets!” ❤️

Midland Center for the Arts always offers great matinees at affordable prices for the area schools. As usual, they didn’t disappoint us with a musical version of “Click, Clack, Moo”. 🎶🐮🐷🐔🎶

Science time - and since the letter of the week was “V” we just had to make a volcano! We made 4 different types of “eruptions” but our favorite was when we used our glow in the dark mixture. Science is definitely cool! 🌋🙀

Valentine’s Day parties are so yummy in Preschool! Thank you to the mom’s in the 4’s class who made our delicious pancake and sausage breakfast. And just look at the smiles and love on the faces of the 3’s. (Could it be that they saw all the candy in their bags!?)❤️💕🩷

The three-year-old class finally had a great day to be outside and play. We stayed outside for over an hour. But I think their favorite part was coming inside for hot chocolate! ❤️🍫☕️🫶🏼

In winter it’s common to slow down a bit, but that isn’t what happens in preschool! We’ve been busy with “Spirit” week. We liked Disney day and favorite sports team. And we also were “chilled to the bone” as we learned about dinosaurs. It was so much hatching the dinosaur eggs we made!

Field trips are so much fun, but we didn’t even have to leave our nice warm school for our last trip! Chippewa Nature Center brought the fun to our gym. We enjoyed a puppet show that taught us what animals in Michigan do in the winter.

January can be cold and dreary in Michigan, but Preschoolers still have a lot of winter fun inside or outside! We love making and eating marshmallow snowmen, doing yoga and having inside snowball battles (I think they especially enjoyed aiming for teachers!). But nothing beats going outside and getting some fresh air. 🥶🧤🧣⛄️❄️
