March 22-26, 2010 Knowing Jesus, Growing in Faith, Serving God’s Children Dear Preschool parents, www.zioncrusaders.org
Your children did great last Friday at the Kindergarten Screening. This has been a fun year of 4 & 5 year olds. There are so many different personality dynamics in the groups!
A Peek at the Week:
Last Friday we began a Lenten journey, by beginning the story Benjamin’s Box. This is a fictional story of a little boy who is present during Jesus’ Passion Week and the events that take place. We also have a set of Resurrection Eggs that go along with the story. Last week we talked about Palm Sunday and Judas accepting money to betray Jesus. This week we will learn about Jesus being flogged, having the crown of thorns put on His head and being nailed to the cross.
Monday-We will experiment with color-transfer as we make paint tissue paper onto paper crosses. We will also have fun while we practice some musical rhythm with a song called “Old John the Rabbit.” Preschool Registration for 2010-2011 opens this morning for church and school families.
Wednesday-We will have Chapel in the morning, led by Pastor Bobby, from Our Redeemer Lutheran. Our Chapel offering this month goes to help support Jason Duley, one of our seminary students. We will be working with Letter Vv this week. Please help your child bring something that begins with Vv to school. We will also visit our school library to check out new books.
Friday-We will have centers that include number and letter recognition and designing an Easter egg. We will have also a “lively letter hunt,” where your child will have to use clue card to help them look for our hidden letters. We will also have our pictures taken. Send back the picture form with your choice of background, no money yet. This is a new fundraiser for us and you only buy if you want.
