I scream, you scream…

We all scream for ice cream!! Our ice cream and invisible ink experiments were a success this week. These are my favorite things to do! Hands-on learning is so great for your preschooler.

Along with the letter “I”, we learned about Moses. In this story we hear how Pharaoh was scared that the Israelites would threaten Egypt’s rule and ordered the killing of all the Israelite’s baby boys. Moses’ mother hid him as long as she could before placing him in a waterproof basket in the Nile River. Moses’ sister, Miriam, watched as he was found and adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter. Miriam then arranged it so that Moses’ mother was able to help raise him and teach him about God. Here is the short of Baby Moses by Saddleback Kids we watched. Saddleback Kids has a large collection of animated Bible stories that are engaging, creative, and biblically accurate. Check them out for other Bible stories to watch with your kids!

Our books this week were Toodle-oodle OOPS!!! by Bryan Jones, The Invisible Boy by Trudy Ludwig, and Click, Clack, Peep by Doreen Cronin. You can watch the reading of The Invisible Boy here. 

Next week will be a very short week. We’ll have one day in class and one day at Sterling State Park. Don’t forget to sign up at this link if you’re able to make it. Parents or grandparents will have to accompany your preschooler because we are not licensed to transport your child. I hope you all can make it!

Oct. 6-10 and Oct 13-17

 Hello Parents,

Next week we only have school on Monday. Because we only have school the one day, we will review the letter "i" and the number 4. On Tuesday, there will be NO preschool. We will just meet at Sterling Park at 11:30. Please bring your own kite as we will not be able to supply kites for the children. You can also bring a picnic lunch to eat . We will be flying kites and playing on the playground equipment there.  While we have a starting time, we will not have an official ending time. We might suggest you leave about 3:00, but that is not mandatory. Then Wed-Fri we do NOT have school. We teachers will be at Teacher's Conference on the other side of the state.

When we come back from vacation we will have our pictures taken on Tues, Oct. 14th. That week we will be learning about the letter "r" , the recorder, rhinos and Reggae music. We will also be looking into the number 5.

I'm very excited to tell you we have been able to book a field trip to Erie Orchard and Cider Miller on Thur, Oct 23rd. The cost is $10 per person, This includes a hayride, a glass of cider and a donut, picking 3 apples and 1 mini pumpkin. They also have a playground area that the children can play on after our tour. We will meet at the orchard about 9:50 at the main entrance. Everyone will pay for themselves at the Orchard on the same day as the trip. You can pay cash or credit card. The address is 1235 Erie Rd, Erie, MI. A flyer will be coming home with all the information.

Finally, I also want to make you aware that I am in the process of scheduling a field trip for  Preschool and grades K-5 to the Imagination Station in Toledo, Ohio in early Dec. I don't have all the details yet, but I will get those to you as soon as I have them. I can tell you that the total cost for each child will be $15, and the cost for each adult will be just $8. Children are more because we have to pay for the workshop they will be going to participate in.

Thank you for all your patience! I hope you have a great vacation!

Serving Christ in Joyful Song,
