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!
