HELLO PARENTS!!! WELCOME TO OUR BLOG!

Boy, has this been a wonderful beginning week! The kids have been so great! They have been very cooperative and eager to do whatever Mrs. Siebert or I have asked of them. Sometimes they have been disappointed because they wanted more time to play, but that's usual. In fact, that never goes away. 😊 

    This week we talked about colors and played a quick game to find the color bug I asked them to get. We will continue to talk about colors this coming week. We will also begin to talk about shapes next week, along with the number zero. That number tends to throw some kids a curve ball, but they understand better after it has been explained to them. We rarely talk about the number zero, so it us understandable. 

    Our Bible lesson this past week was about how God created the world. We discussed that God made the world because He loves us and wanted to give us His best. Next week we will talk about how God made the first man and the first woman. He made them differently than He did the rest of creation because we are the most special of all the things He made.

    There are a few things that will be happening in September, but I wanted to let you know about them now so you can put them on your calendar. These 2 events happen on the same day. That date is Sunday, September 13th. That is Christian Education Sunday here at Zion. In the 9:00 am service the whole school-including the Preschool children will be singing! The Preschool children don't sing very often in church, so I really hope many of you can make it. Then starting at noon that day, we will have the Pinewood Derby. Anyone who would like to participate may. Young (yes, even the Preschool children may participate) and old alike may make a car. There are workshop days if you don't have the proper power tools at your house, Those day can be found on the monthly calendar. The kit to make a car are available to purchase in the office for $5 per car. There is also a flyer about the Pinewood Derby on the black table by the entry doors marked "A."

    I hope your child had fun at school this week. May God bless you all!

Zip, zop, zoweee!

Ok, so we didn’t learn those words during our letter Z week, BUT we did learn about the zoo, zebras, zippers, and zeros. We also learned a new song we get to sing for you on graduation day which is only 3 days away!!! Boy, I am going to miss you all!

Graduation. Both AM and PM classes will come at 8am that day. We will practice and get ready for graduation together. Our service will begin at 10:30am in church. After graduation is done we’ll meet in the foyer and then out to the gym for our school picnic. Everyone is welcome to stay! We’ll be serving hot dogs, chips, and watermelon. After the picnic Zion will be hosting a “Roll into Summer” skate at Dixie from 2-4. The whole place has been rented for Zion families.

Don’t forget to RSVP to Mr. and Mrs. Schneck’s retirement party! You don’t need to bring a dish to pass, just let us know how many will be attending. 

I’ll post pictures on our very last blog. See us at school with any questions or comment below. Have a blessed Sunday!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day! Did you get your button flower bouquet? Weren’t they the cutest? I absolutely love how they turned out. I hope all you moms and grandmas and aunties had a fabulous day!

This week we’ll be learning all about the letter Z! And maybe our Painted Lady Butterflies will emerge. My daughter, Kiki, had 3 emerge on Saturday! 

Thank you all for making Teacher Appreciation Week so special! We are so blessed to have you as parents and your children as students! We felt so loved!

Spring Fling! Oh my goodness, the kiddos did so good. It was so much fun watching them sing and act. 

Here are our pics from last week. See you all tomorrow!

Getting ready for showtime!

We love exploring in preschool!

Spring Fling tonight!! And only 2 weeks left of school!!!

 Hello Parents!

TONIGHT IS OUR SPRING FLING!! I am so excited!! I went to the dress rehearsal, and I think you are really going to like it! The kids really had fun! Of course, it is going to be WAY better tonight when our children will be performing also! They do such a great job! I can hardly wait for you to see it. Please have your child come to our classroom around 6:30. The evening will start at 7:00. Call me if you have any questions, please.

And can you  believe we only have 2 weeks left of school for the year?! This coming week we will NOT have school on Wed, the 13th because the 3-8 grade children will be participating at our area track and field day. Schools from all over southeast Michigan and Ohio will be participating. It is a full day. We teachers also help to run the various events. The other days of the week we will be talking about the letter "z" and reviewing various Math concepts. We will be learning our new songs for our Graduation ceremony Wednesday, May 20th. So we are just teaching these kids song after song! That is ok, however, because the kids learn these songs so very quickly! They just amaze me! Plus they love to sing and do any actions we teach them. They are just so fun!

I'm not going to tell you what songs we learned last week, because you will just have to come to the Spring Fling tonight to hear them! See you there!!

God bless you all!!

Not a Box!

Good morning PreK fam! I hope you had an amazing weekend. Have you counted how many days are left of preschool? 9. 9 days. It’s gonna be jam packed, but we’re gonna have fun! 

Sorry for the information overload-

First is the Mud Hens game on Wednesday. You are more than welcome to join us for chapel before the game at 8am, and we’ll leave Zion around 9am. Everyone should have their tickets, so feel free to come to the game whenever. There are multiple places to park around 5/3 Field, and most of them are pretty cheap, if not free. I’d suggest bringing cash to pay for parking just in case. I usually park over by Grumpy’s on S Huron Street. It’s a quick walk to 5/3 and an easy out when it’s time to leave. If you’re not coming to the game, enjoy your day off! We’ll see you on Thursday!

Next up is our Spring Fling on Friday! This is a variety show we put on every other year. Our theme this year is Americana as we look forward to celebrating 250 years of independence. The kiddos have been practicing so hard! I hope you all can make it. It’s from 7-9 pm which is a little late for our preschoolers, but not to worry, we’ll take the stage first in case anyone needs to leave early. 

Here are some upcoming events to mark on your calendars. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us at pickup or dropoff. 

 

In discussion with the race committee, the Start of Summer Invitational Pinewood Derby on Saturday, May 16 will allow cars that have raced in previous derbys! If you don't have time to make a new car, dust off that previous winner, soup it up, and bring it to the derby race on May 16! If you want to recheck weight or have a few repairs to do, bring it by for a pre-race inspection after school or to the workshop on May 9.

Our Painted Lady caterpillars are forming chrysalises! Pretty soon we’ll be releasing some new butterflies into the world. Check them out sometime!

Now, here are our pictures from box week. We had fun making a burning building and playing firefighter, driving a race car, going camping, flying in an airplane, and hanging in our castles. See you all tomorrow!
