We are really starting to get into the groove!

 We are firming comfortable with school now!  They know the routines, and what Mrs. Seibert and I expect of them. They enjoy the learning aspect of school now, too. I am especially happy with their willingness to do our Math work. They really pay attention well. I'm just so pleased! Of course, they still like to play, but that's a very good thing!

This past week we reviewed the numbers 1 and 2 again. This coming week we will learn about the number 3. This past week we also learned about the letter "c," and Connie Cow. They really do like to learn. It is such a joy to see and hear their excitement. Next week we will learn about the letter "d," and Dexter Donkey.

There are some upcoming events I would like to make you aware of. The first date is October 20th. We will be going to the Imagination Station of dissect owl pellets. We will be going with the Kindergarten class. Then on November 10th we will be going to The Sandbox. Again, we will be going with the Kindergarten class. More information will be coming home this coming week. According to the State regulations, you all will drive individually to our destination. We will meet together inside the building where we teachers will give you more information. When you have discovered all the things your child enjoys, you may leave. There will be no afternoon Preschool classes on that day as they will be joining us at the field trip destination. If all this is as clear as mud, please don't hesitate to ask me in person.

Finally, I would like to remind you that we do not have school October 14-16. That week we have Teacher's Conference in Cincinnati, OH.

God bless you all!

I'm so proud of the kids!

 I know all of you could not make it to Grandparents day, but let me tell you, the kids certainly did a wonderful job of entertaining us!! The song on the Desk set Color Bells was very good! I was especially happy because that was the first thing we did on the stage, and stage fright is real! But they did not seem to let stage fright bother them too much. When we sang our Grandparent's song, they did a nice job of singing out. Finally, I thought they were wonderful little actors. They enjoyed it!

Not only was Wednesday a special day, but so were other days this week. On Tues, the afternoon kids got to go into the Kindergarten room to listen to a story called "The Dot." We learned that even a dot can get you started on the road to being an artist. Then we had our picture taken so we could turn our look into that of the author of the book we heard. It was really fun to be part of the Kindergarten class for awhile. Then on Thursday morning, we again went into the Kindergarten room. This time, we played with scarves while we listened to some songs. We really liked that activity a lot! So I made sure we did the same activity in the afternoon with those boys.

This coming week, we will be learning about the the letter "C" and cows. We'll also review numbers 1 and 2. Also, keep your eyes open for future information about a field trip with the Kindergarten class to The Imagination Station in Toledo in October. It will be on a Wednesday, but a date hasn't been confirmed yet. Feel free to ask me any questions about it.

I pray you have a fabulous weekend!

Our First Month of Preschool!

Hello, Preschool Fam!

Welcome to my first blog post of the 2026–2027 school year! I plan to share a new post about once a month to give you a peek at what we have been learning and enjoying together. I am also back in school myself, working toward becoming an Early Childhood Education director like Mrs. Dorow! Life is busy, but I am excited to continue learning alongside our preschoolers.

Special Moments Together

On September 9, we met our chapel buddies for the first time! The kiddos enjoyed getting to know the other students and working together to color posters for their chapel groups.

On September 13, our preschoolers sang in church for the first time this school year as part of Christian Education Sunday. They joined the K–2 students in singing “Glory to Heaven,” and it was so beautiful to hear their voices praising Jesus!

Grandparents Day was also a wonderful success! Our preschoolers did an amazing job performing their song, skit, and handbell song. We are so proud of them! Thank you to all the grandparents who joined us and helped make the morning so memorable.

On September 17, we joined the kindergarten class for music and movement with colorful scarves. The preschoolers loved singing, moving, and watching the bright colors twirl through the air!

Learning in Our Classroom

We have been busy learning about the letters Aa and Bb and the numbers 1 and 2. The children are also doing a great job working in their Number and Skills books with Button Bear—you may have already seen some of their completed pages being brought home! It is exciting to watch their confidence grow as they practice new skills.

During Jesus Time, we learned how God created our beautiful world and everything in it. We also learned about the Tower of Babel and what happened when the people became prideful and did not follow God’s plan. Through each Bible lesson, we are reminded of God’s power, love, and care for us.

I also plan to display pictures from our preschool days on the board in our classroom play area. This will give the children a chance to look back at the fun things we have done and talk about their memories.

We have had a wonderful start to our school year, and I am so proud of how much our preschoolers are already learning and growing. I look forward to sharing more of our classroom adventures with you throughout the year!

May God bless you and your family!
