It is hard to believe we are already through two months of Preschool. Sunday, November 2nd will be an opportunity for the preschool children to join the Sunday school children to sing the song we have been working so hard on. Please plan to come and meet us in the fellowship hall at 9:15 for practice before the service starts at 9:30. Refreshments and drinks will be served after. We hope to see you there!
This month will be busy as we prepare for Parent/Teacher conferences and start preparing for our Christmas Program. The Christmas Program will be held on Sunday, December 14th at 1:30. During the month we will be learning "My Five Senses" in the three-year-old class and the four-year-old class will learn about "Native American Indians and Thanksgiving." During Jesus' Time, we will study the following stories: "God Takes Care of Baby Moses, God Chooses Moses," and "God Leads His People Through the Red Sea." Near the end of the month, both classes will enjoy a field trip to the Marriott Lincolnshire to see Cinderella.
We will be on Thanksgiving break from Wednesday, November 26th, through Friday, November 28th. The Four-Year-Old Class will resume on Monday, December 1st, and the Three-Year-Old Class on Tuesday, December 2nd. Conferences will then be held on Friday, December 5th. Finally, please note that the December Preschool/Sunday School singing will be on the second Sunday, the 8th. That day will also be our Family Advent Festival. More information on this to come! I wish everyone a wonderful and peaceful Thanksgiving.

While brightly colored leaves may be leaving the bare, the season of fall is still upon us so the Little Sprouts will spend the month of November with a look at Fall Animals. The month begins with an acorn dot art craft and some cozy fall books. We will also read the beautifully illustrated book The Busy Little Squirrel. Fall animal crafts include a bushy tail squirrel, a paper bag fox puppet and a hedgehog painted with a fork to create its spikes. The children will practice taking turns with two board games as well. For the week of Thanksgiving, we color Thanksgiving Prayer cards to take home and share with our families.
Jesus Time this month includes the Old Testament stories of "God Keeps Baby Moses Safe, God Chooses Moses, Crossing the Sea," and "Bread from Heaven".

Here we are again ready to start a new school year! I hope everyone had a fantastic summer. Our first days will be Tuesday, September 2nd, and Wednesday, September 3rd. I'm looking forward to seeing some of my students from last year and getting to know my new ones. To date, we have 7 three-year-olds and 8 four-year-olds enrolled. We do still have room so if you know anyone still looking for a preschool send them our way.
During the month we will be learning "All About Me" in the three-year-old class and the four-year-old class will do two days of learning about each other and then we will go into the theme "Apples." After that, we will learn about "Pets." During Jesus Time we will study the following stories: "God Creates Our Beautiful World, God Creates Man and Woman, God Saves Adam and Eve," Additionally the fours, we will also study "God Saves Noah and His Family. As I am sure we should have some nice weather this month we will try to get out a lot to enjoy the outdoors before the colder days arrive.
