February 22-26, 2010 Knowing Jesus, Growing in Faith, Serving God’s Children
Dear Preschool parents, www.zioncrusaders.org
We are at the end of February already! Thanks for sending your child’s toothbrush to school last week. We had a lot of fun graphing the different colors. There are a lot of things coming up, so read on carefully!
A Peek at the Week:
This week in Jesus Time we learn about when Jesus fed 5,000 people, found in John 6:1-13. We learn that God, our heavenly Father, loves and cares for us. We can trust Him to provide for all our needs. Our Bible words are from Psalm 107:1, “Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.”
Tuesday-We will continue learning about dental health this week. We will begin an experiment with eggs and 3 different kinds of drinks. We will make a “bubbly” toothbrush picture and another experiment about 2 crunchy foods—Oreos and apples. We will eat the Oreos and see that they stick in our teeth. Then we will eat the apples and see that they work like little toothbrushes, brushing those cookie crumbs from our teeth. We will also visit our school library.
Thursday-We will free paint on a tooth-shaped paper. We will also perform a toothpaste taste test to see what flavor we like the best.
Books of the Week: The Crocodile and the Dentist by Taro Gomi and Sammy and the Dinosaurs Say, “Ahhh!” by Ian Whybrow
From the Teacher’s Desk:
*Next Tuesday, March 2nd, our school will be celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday by wearing our pajamas to school! We will also have a few other fun things planned as well. Please remember to send along extra pants and shoes for recess times!
*There will be no preschool/daycare on Friday, Mar. 5 as I will be having parent-teacher conferences that day. These spring conferences are optional. Kindergarten through grade 5 will dismiss at 11:15AM for teacher in-service that afternoon.
*Lutheran Schools Week is coming March 7-12! We have some fun events planned for LSW and we celebrate that we can learn, love, and teach Jesus here at our school! The whole school will be singing on Sunday, March 7 at both the 8AM and 10:45AM services. The list of events is on the back of this note.
*Preschool registration for 2010-2011 will open to Zion church and school families on Monday, March 22. I will be sending home a letter and enrollment form on March 1st. The enrollment fee this year is $60. If your child will be returning, you can enroll for either the AM or PM class. Preschool registration will open to the community on Tuesday, April 6th.
If your child is in daycare: We will have Chapel on Wednesday morning, led by Pastor Jones from Bethlehem Lutheran. Our Chapel offerings this month go to Zion’s Food Bank. Your child is welcome to bring either non-perishable food items or monetary offerings this month.
Please feel free to call me anytime with questions or concerns.
