March 8-12, 2010 Knowing Jesus, Growing in Faith, Serving God’s Children Dear Preschool parents, www.zioncrusaders.org
Thank you to everyone who sang with us yesterday! It was a great way to begin National Lutheran Schools Week! We have lots of special activities this week, so read carefully!
A Peek at the Week:
This week in Jesus Time we learn about the widow’s offering, found in Mark 12:41-44. We learn that God helps us to celebrate His love for us when we give our gifts and offerings to Him. This story also challenges us to think ourselves and train our children to think that what we have is the Lord’s gift to us; by His grace and in response to the Savior’s love, we will use all we have to His glory and praise. Our Bible words are from 2 Corinthians 9:7,”God loves a cheerful giver.”
Monday-We will be making some green collages to hang in the hallway. We will also be doing and shamrock dot-to-dot.
Wednesday-We will have Chapel in the morning, led by Pastor Lindenberg from Peace Lutheran. Our Chapel offering this month goes to help support Jason Duley, one of our seminary students. We will be working with Letter Tt this week. Please help your child bring something that begins with Tt to school. We will NOT have library this week.
Friday-We will have centers that include matching upper- and lowercase letters and comparing different sizes of play dough snakes and making a leprechaun. We will also learn that Ireland is an island and what its flag looks like.
