<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We are in our last month of school? How crazy is that! Our kids are working hard to prepare for Mother's Day as well as our spring performance that is NEXT WEEK... They are working SO hard... I can't wait for you all to see "Chicken Little" and "Ten on the Sled" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Due to our activities and practices taking place this week, our schedule will be a little bit different. Our students will still have bible, movement and small group this week... but music time will be replaced by play practice! We will be using our costumes and props this week, so be sure to bring them to school.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bible Time (One in Christ)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He has won the victory for us by His death and resurrection, we will receive glory! Even though our Savior ascended into heaven, we know that one day we will get to join Him. We will not know when that day will come... but we do know that the Father will welcome us with the words "well done, good and faithful servant" and the saints and angels will rejoice. You can find our story on your handout or in Acts 1:6-11.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Law: Sometimes our actions and words don't show and tell about the love of Jesus</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Gospel: Jesus forgives our sins and promises He will come back to earth and take us with Him to heaven.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sanctification: Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can share the message of Jesus' love and salvation with everyone.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Play Practice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As you know, we will be performing "Chicken Little" and "Ten on the Sled" for our spring performance this year. I will be honest with you, "Ten on the Sled" is going great! "Chicken Little" needs a bit more practice. Our students our struggling to listen to the story and act out the words. We will continue working on our performances. Be sure to have your child's costume at school tomorrow so that we can start practicing with these items! They can be a distraction at first... so it's always good to practice :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Teacher Appreciation</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">THANK YOU SO MUCH for our door decorations... I loved being able to read through what each child said. It looks AMAZING in our hallway. Special shout out to those who created the door decor! We are so grateful. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We were blessed with some wonderful weather this past week! I hope and pray that the weather continues this week. Our kids LOVE outside time. We are hoping to have a day this week for an outside art activity, chalk and bubbles!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Not everyone found out right away about the empty tomb. Can you imagine the joy that filled their heart to learn that their Savior was alive? This week we will get to hear about the joy that filled them! You can find our story in Luke 24:13-35 and in our handout from One in Christ. Help your child understand the joy and awe we feel when we know that because Jesus is alive, we, too, will have eternal life. We want to share this joy with others, just as the Emmaus disciples ran to tell the others about what they had seen. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Song & Passage:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Each week we focus on a song and passage. This week we will look at 2 Timothy 3:14, "Continue in what you have learned." I pray that each of you are able to work with your child at home and remind them of the wonderful we gift we have. Thanks to Jesus, one day heaven will be ours! What a joy it is to learn more about our Savior each week. Our song this week is "My God is so Great"... we will focus on verse 1: </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">They will be able to play with water and foam blocks. Our foam blocks stick together when water is added. They will continue to float and stack while the students explore what they would like to build! Our kids have been very interested in building different creations lately, I look forward to seeing what they make. We will have the sensory table open on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Another short week, I hope each of you enjoyed extra time with your family and friends to celebrate Jesus death on the cross and His resurrection on Easter Sunday. This week our students will be able to focus on that good news: heaven is ours, because of Him. What a blessing to know that He has a spot waiting for us in heaven some day. God is good.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Bible Time (One in Christ)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Read the Easter story in Matthew 28:1-10 and Luke 24:1-12. At Easter, we celebrate new life! Christ's victory defines our lives as we have new life in Him, now and eternally. It is such a blessing to hear the good news this Easter season. I encourage you to pull out your story bibles you received at the beginning of the school year and read this story with your child. You can also use our handouts from the One in Christ curriculum to help you tell the story.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Here are our discovery points this week:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Law: Without a Savior, we would remain in our sins.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Gospel: Because Jesus rose and is alive, we will have life in heaven.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sanctification: Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we marvel at what Christ has done for us, and we joyfully tell others the Good News that Jesus overcame sin and death.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Song & Passage:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Each week our students focus on a specific bible passage that relates to our story. This week we will look at Matthew 28:16, "He is not here, for He has risen" What an amazing reminder of God's love for us. Because of His sacrifice, we are able to have the reassurance of eternal life with Him. Our song this week will be "He Rose, He Rose" once again. However, our students will also learn the second verse:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">He rose, He rose, He rose from the dead, Allelluia, Allelluia!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An angel came from heaven and rolled the stone away</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An angel came from heaven and rolled the stone away</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">An angel came from heaven and rolled the stone away, Alelluia, Alleluia!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Small Group (HighScope) </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our KDI (Key Developmental Indicator) for the week will be art. I want the students to have time to explore the different elements presented to them and create their own piece of art. I love seeing what they create when they are given the free time to explore.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Monday: No School, Happy Easter!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tuesday: Painting with yarn. Students will use blue and black paint on a yellow piece of paper to create their piece of art! Many students decided that their piece of art was a maze or road, I love their creativity!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Wednesday: Using watercolors. Students will have control over what kind of creation they would like to make. I will give them some ideas (such as a sunset or favorite animal) but I am hoping that they come up with their own idea!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thursday: Creating the Easter Tomb using precut items, watercolors and glue!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Friday: *weather permitting* we will take cookie sheets, rubberbands, paint and paper outside to create a masterpiece! It will create a wonderful mess. I look forward to the children deciding what their picture resembles. </span><br />

<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Movement (Spark)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">This week, our students will be moving past tossing underhand with beanbags and balls and move into reviewing a variety of movements they have focused on throughout the year. We will review galloping, skipping, hopping, and side sliding! We will also let the students choose their favorite movement songs this week to help them review their skills. The spark curriculum has wonderful instruction songs for the students to focus on their movements.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Music (Sing and Make Music)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will continue using our sing along books. Our students will also review the same song that they are learning in bible time, "He Rose, He Rose." We will start working on our play practice during "music time" to help our students start to familiarize themselves with each of the stories. So far we have started coming up with our actions while reading the stories... they are doing a great job! </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Sensory Table</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will have water, soap, dishes and scrubbing brushes for our students this week. They will be able freely play in the tub throughout the week. We typically have the sensory table open on Wednesday and Friday. We might have shaving cream, animals and dinosaurs on the table for Friday afternoon. The kids LOVE playing in shaving cream and it even helps us clean a bit!</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #6aa84f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Spring Concert</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will begin practicing this week for our spring concert. I would like all props to be at school by Friday, April 26th so that we can begin practicing with them next week. We will hopefully have a full dress rehearsal (costumes and props) the second week of May.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Last week, we were able to make our own ice cream :)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">It was delicious and a ton of fun! Enjoy some photos...</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">We will have a short week this week to encourage families celebrate the coming of Easter. During the week, our students will hear about Jesus suffering and dying on the cross. Next week, we will celebrate that our Savior has risen from the dead! What a wonderful blessing to have a God who sent His son to forgive our sins. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #76a5af; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our story this week is from Luke 23:26-56, reading this can show you God's great love for you. Because Jesus died and rose again, He has conquered sin and death. He gives His victory to us! He promises forgiveness and eternal life in heaven. Remember, this lesson is about good news! Jesus did not stay dead; He is alive--for us! Despite the cruel suffering that took place as Jesus was led to the cross, He did it out of love for each of us. Because of this, we get to see heaven one day. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Here are the discovery points for this week:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Law: Because we are sinners, we deserve to be punished.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Gospel: Jesus died on the cross to save us from the punishment of our sins.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sanctification: Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we can share with others the peace we have, knowing our sins are forgiven and our guilt is removed.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Song & Passage</i></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Every week we focus on a new song and passage during bible time. This week, we will be singing Easter songs! Our main focus will be "He Rose, He Rose" with actions. Our passage this week is from 1 Thessalonians 4:14, "We believe that Jesus died and rose again." I encourage you to read through the story and passage with your child. It is a great way for them to hear our bible story from you and review the song and passage with you too! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our students did such a great job singing in church yesterday! Thank you to all who could attend. I'm so proud of the kids. As we start a new week, I hope that each of your children are able to learn and grow in a new way. We start our parent/teacher conferences and I can't wait to show you how much has changed since August!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our story is about Jesus riding into Jerusalem. You can find our story in Matthew 21:1-11, hear how people welcomed Jesus as a king. The problem was that they wanted a king on earth, but Jesus ir a heavenly King. As you talk about our Bible story at home, lead your children in worship and show your love for our Savior. Show your chldren the joy and delight you have in your daily walk with our Lord and King! </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Here are the discovery points for our lesson this week:</i></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Law: Sometimes we don't appreciate how great Jesus is.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Gospel: Jesus, our King of kings, the Lord of heaven and earth, saved us from our enemies--sin, death and the devil.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Sanctification: Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we joyfully worship Jesus, our Savior and King. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><i>Song & Passage</i></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Every week, we focus on a new song and bible passge. This week the students will be learning "God Loves Me Dearly"... this is a fun song that reminds the children of God's love for each of us.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Our passage this week is from Matthew 21:9, "Hosanna in the highest!" throughout the week we will be working on this passage. The goal is to have the students be able to recite the passage by themselves on Friday. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Small Group (HighScope Curriculum)</b></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Monday: Students will get to spell out their name by placing stickers on the lines of the letters! Stickers are a great way to practice fine motor.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232;"></span></b><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Tuesday: They will be sorting foam beads by color using tweezers.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Thursday: They will work on writing their names independently using a pencil. (we will have our students "sign in" by writing their name this whole week, so this will be a little way of seeing which students can write their knows alone and which students still need guidance)</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Friday: Students are using beads and string to create a pattern.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">For movement time, our students will be reviewing their under hand tossing (with themselves, a partner and a target) throughout the week we will add challenges for the students such as: moving farther away from one another/the target and switching from bean bags to small balls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The students will need to problem solve and see what they will need to do differently when switching from a bean bag to a ball. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Music Time (Sign and Make Music Curriculum)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">During music this week, our students will be reviewing keeping a tempo while reading sing along books. They will be using: "5 Little Monkeys" and "5 Green and Speckled Frogs" as their sing along stories. </span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The students will be using their hands to tap the tempo of the story on their legs. They will have to follow the reading/singing tempo of our teacher to see if they can get her to speed up or slow down using their tapping.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Today we start a new week! It is hard to believe that we only have two more months of preschool before summer vacation. I am so proud of our students and how much they have grown this year. I know they will be well prepared for the following school year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">In our blog, I will do my best to share our lessons each week as well as photos of our students. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum)</b></span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This week we will hear about Paul teaching Timothy. You can find our bible story in 2 Timothy 1:1-5, 3:14-17. As with Timothy long ago, God gives us a family and friends who love us and share the story of Jesus' love with us. What a gift that we can share God's Word with others.</span><span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> Pray for each other every night and every day.</span><br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Here are the discovery points for our lesson this week:</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Law- On our own, we would never know God or love Him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Gospel- God uses parents and teachers to teach us about Jesus, our Savior, who forgives our sins and makes us God's own children.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This week I will not be having a typical blog post. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">I apologize for not writing the blog sooner! As the school year comes to an end, there are many things to finish before our time is up! I am excited to share with a few pictures and items that we have been learning about the past few weeks. </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In the past weeks, the students have covered a variety of topics in their class time! In bible, the students have talked about Zacchaeus, the man who says thank you, Jesus riding into Jerusalem and the last supper. It is amazing to see the students picking up on these stories. Since it is holy week, the students have been focusing on Jesus suffering and dying on the cross. An amazing story about Jesus death but also his resurrection. The students will hear the amazing Easter story next week as we talk about Jesus resurrection even more! What a blessing to share this news with them. I pray you all have time to focus on not only Jesus suffering and death - but his victory over the grave! He is risen. He is risen indeed. God bless your Easter celebration this weekend. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The students have been able to look at two artists in the past week: Claude Monet and Georgia O'Keefe. The students were able to recreate sunsets, flowers and other projects based on these two artists. In small group they have also focused more on the letters U, V, and W. The students were able to look at making patterns, work on their writing skills (first and last names!) and counting. It is amazing to see the progress that the students have had from just after Christmas! God is good. I am excited to share more information with you all at our parent/teacher conferences next week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">In the past weeks, the students had been preparing to sing in church this past Sunday. They did an amazing job singing Hosanna and Shine Jesus Shine. I am so thankful that so many of the children were able to join us during the church service to sing. They were so excited to sing these songs for all of you! Lately the students have been looking at sing along books such as: Peanut Butter and Jelly, 5 Little Monkeys, There's a hole in my bucket and 5 speckled frogs. They love learning actions and hearing a story while singing along!</span></div>

It is a wonderful thing to be able to enjoy with out students before we have a week off of school. This week they have been able to make several different art projects (during work time and small group). They have been busy enjoying this wonderful sunshine and chilly weather. We are thankful for time spent outside!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This week the students having been hearing a story about a man named Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus was hated by most people in his town. He had lied, cheated and stolen money from those around him. One day, Jesus was in town. Zacchaeus attempted to go and see Jesus and hear him speak. He was a short man and had to climb into a tree to be able to see Jesus. To the crowds amazement, Jesus walked over to Zacchaeus and told him to get down out of the tree. Jesus wanted to go to his house and have dinner with him. Zacchaeus saw the mercy of his Savior. Despite the mistakes Zacchaeus had made in his life, Jesus provided him the forgiveness he so desperately needed. It is amazing to see the love that He shows to all of us - even though we do not deserve it. </span></div>

The kids have enjoyed being able to get some sun shine. We have had a fun week being able to learn more about measuring, the letter T and Jesus! It is amazing to see how far the students have come from the beginning of the year. Some of the students are showing amazing steps since Christmas too! God is so good. Enrollment is now open for our 2017-18 school. It is a blessing to know that we will be able to share time with your children (and some new children) this next year! I am so thankful I am able to see these children grow each day. They continue to surprise me in wonderful ways! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">For the week, students are hearing the story about Jesus visiting his friends Mary and Martha. In this story the students see that Martha was busy cleaning and cooking preparing for Jesus. While she was doing this, her sister Mary was not helping her. Instead, Mary was listening to Jesus speak. Martha shared her frustrations with Jesus asking Mary to help. Jesus reminds Martha that Mary has chosen something far more important than anything else - His Word. As it says in our passage this week from Matthew 11:29, "Jesus said, 'Learn from me'." It is important that we realize no matter how busy life may be, a priority should be to learn more about our Savior. He is our provider and strength. In good times and in bad, we can find our strength in Him. He will always be there for us, no matter the circumstances. God is good.</span><br />

Not only have we had the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day together - but we have started our kindergarten for a day experiences! For the students who are old enough to go into kindergarten next year, they are able to head into our kindergarten classroom at Faith with Miss Snyder to experience what it is like for a day! They are able to go in pairs and select a full or half day experience. What a joy it is to see these children grow up each day! It is hard to believe so many of them will be going into kindergarten next year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;">"Jesus' parable of the lost son begins with the sinful son selfishly squandering his premature inheritance. His downward spiral continues, and the son finds himself empty with hunger and loneliness, filthy in soil and sin." (Concordia Publishing House) Ashamed the son returns home to his father. He is expecting to be scolded, even shunned for his actions. The father, however, is so happy to see his son once again that he welcomes him home with loving arms, despite the mistakes he had made. We can be like the lost son. We can be confused and lost in our own sin, yet despite our mistakes God shows us mercy. He sacrificed His own Son to be our sacrifice. He restores us and brings us home with Him in heaven one day. What an amazing blessing for us to know that despite the mistakes we have and the wrong turns we may make in life - God is always ready to take us in His loving arms. We truly have a reason to celebrate! </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In our story this week, we hear about the good Samaritan. We learn an important lesson on mercy and showing love to those around us. We are all born imperfect. We all have our own selfish wants in life. We especially can see this at the preschool level. They are just learning what it means to show mercy and love and to care more about others than about yourself. The idea of putting others before themselves can be difficult to imagine. This lesson really shows us the importance of helping other children in the classroom by sharing, helping and thinking of others first. I encourage all of you to reinforce these ideas at home! It can be hard to try and show love to one another. "We love because He first loved us" (1 John 4:19). It is a blessing to know that despite our weaknesses and selfish desires, God shows us His love. What an amazing gift to share with one another, our families and our friends! </span></div>

They have been using several movements (running, jumping, skipping, galloping, etc) to move around the room and warm up for the activities that we have for the week. They have enjoyed learning how to make a bridge and adding 'challenges' to it. They push their stomachs to the sky and together we come up with 'challenges' for the students (kicking one leg while doing a bridge, moving around, etc).

We were blessed to have a visit from the Alaska Zoo on Tuesday. They taught us all about the Sitka black-tailed deer. The students got up close and personal with this animal! They were all very excited to see the deer in person. On Wednesday we celebrated our 100th day of school! Students got to play games and activities in the morning followed by a special movie day before our half day students left. It has been a very exciting week. Tomorrow we will have a half day of school! Enjoy a slightly longer weekend with your family.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new";">Our story for the week is about Jesus healing the blind man. In our story, a man named Bartimaeus was a poor, blind beggar. He didn't seem important to most people. He was able to show his faith by calling out to Jesus for help. He requested that Jesus help him recover his sight. Jesus was able to heal Bartimaeus. Can you imagine being able to see for the first time? The first thing he saw was his Lord and Savior! What a blessing. There are times in life when we feel small and unimportant. Maybe you feel like your requests are not being heard! We know that one person will always find us to be important - that is our Savior, Jesus. He wants us to come to Him with all our troubles. Sometimes he will answer our prayers, other times he may say no. We need to understand that He knows best. He will provide for us no matter what, even when we do not see His helping hand. Our passage this week is John 9:5, 'Jesus said, "I am the light of the world.'" The students have been working hard to learn sign language to go with our song, 'Shine Jesus Shine'. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Our story this week is Jairus' Daughter. The students are able to hear a sad but miraculous story about the power of God. A man came to Jesus begging for help. His daughter was sick. On the way to the man's house they were stopped in the road by a man with horrible news. Jairus was told that his daughter has died. As he was filled with emotions, Jesus reassured the man and said - "Don't be afraid, just believe." As they came to the house, Jesus took the daughters hand and spoke to her, telling her to get up! The people in the room were amazed! Jesus spoke these words and Jairus' daughter came back to life! It is amazing to see the work of our Lord in the lives of those around Him. He was able to bring someone back to life, which seems impossible! We know that we can trust in the Lord, as it says in Psalm 31:14, "I trust in You, O LORD." We too can feel at peace knowing that God is control of our lives. He will continue to show us love and mercy. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">In movement, they are focusing on galloping. This can be a tricky concept, especially for those younger students. We have been playing various games to help the students solidify this. It will take practice but the students will review throughout the year. Our older students are able to demonstrate their knowledge of galloping to those who are struggling. What a blessing it is to have students working together to help one another! We have also brought GoNoodle back for the students! They enjoy being able to dance and be introduced to new songs as well! This is a free website you can use at home.

<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">In our story this week we hear about how God is present and has assured us that we are loved, forgiven, and taken care of. We have the assurance of His death and resurrection to remind us that He is taking care of us. In this world, we have many worries and concerns about the safety of our friends and family. In our story this week, Joseph and Mary (the father and mother of Jesus) were very worried about the safety of their family. They were scared that someone would find Jesus and try to hurt him. As they were traveling, they feared the worst had come true! Suddenly, they could not find Jesus. He was lost. Their fear quickly diminished when they found Jesus studying in the temple. He had a desire to learn more about God's Word. Just like Jesus, we should have a desire to learn more too! What a blessing to know that we have the opportunity to learn more about Him each and every </span><span style="font-family: Courier New;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">day. We have focused on Joshua 1:9, "God is with you wherever you go." They have also reviewed the song, 'God Loves Me Dearly'.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Movement Time (SPARK Curriculum):</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">Since we are just getting back from break, the students are reviewing various amounts of movements and games from before Christmas. They are able to work on their special awareness and review the concept of 'homes' in movement time. The students are working on listening to directions for how fast or slow they should move. Their speed and the type of movement are very important this week. They must listen to each instruction before beginning the activity. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Music Time (Sing and Make Music Curriculum):</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">This week the students are working on rhythm. They are able to review several songs for this concept. They are working on tapping their legs as well as snapping their fingers to work on rhythm. They have enjoyed being able to sing familiar songs after such a long break.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Small Group Time (HighScope Curriculum): </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">The Key Developmental Indicator (KDI) this week is numbers. The students are focusing on the letter N as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">Monday: they worked on using a pencil to trace the upper and lower case of the letter N.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new";">This week we have had the opportunity to help the students focus on the coming of the Savior. As November comes to an end, the students are getting very excited for Christmas to come! Our story this week is to help them remember the importance of Christmas time. Not only is this a time for us to be with friends and family - but this is a time to celebrate the birth of our Savior! My spirit rejoices in God my Savior." What a joy it is to be able to share this wonderful story with the students. We remind them that this was a long awaited gift. The gift of our Savior is much more important than any gifts we can receive at Christmas time. He was born to save us - even though we did not deserve saving! What an amazing gift to share with our friends and families this holiday season! </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Bible Time (One In Christ Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Often times we worry about things that God has promised to take care of. We find ourselves lacking trust in God to take care of us and our needs. The Israelites found themselves in a similar situation in our bible story this week. Our story this week is about the bronze snake (Numbers 21:4-9). The Israelites started to grumble and complain about the things that God had provided them. They wanted better food than what God had given them. In order to show God's power to the Israelites, he sent snakes among them. He wanted them to remember to rely on God. God told Moses to make a bronze snake to put on a pole. When the Israelites looked to the snake with faith in God's promise, they would live. The snake on a pole is very similar to Christ's death on the cross. We can look to him for forgiveness and life. Our passage this week is from Psalm 9:9, "The LORD is a stronghold in times of trouble."</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new";"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">The students have been hearing the story of God giving the ten commandments. God gave the Commandments to us to show us the meaning of living a godly life and to show us that we need a Savior. God offers us forgiveness and restores us daily through the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is the Holy Spirit working in us that enables us to grow in our faith. God has given us the ten commandments in love. In return we can show our love to him. As it says in Deuteronomny 6:5, "Love the Lord your God." What a wonderful blessing to know that God has loved us so much that he looks past the mistakes we make in life and shows us His grace. He loves us despite our flaws. It is amazing to see the amount of love He shows us. God is good.</span></div>

We have tried to make them focus on lifting their knees high and slowly moving around the room. Each day the students are able to attempt the movement faster and faster as they are comfortable. They have been able to do these activities while playing different games and using their knowledge of the dances in movement time on the SPARK CD.</span></div>

God alone shows His strength and power to all in the parting of the Red Sea. He was able to wash away the enemies and save the people. For us, we face different enemies today. Our enemies are sin, death and the power of the devil. We are constantly feeling a weight from these enemies. God provides a way out. He washes away our sins and saves us through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God is always with us and will take care of us. He knows our every need and understands our weaknesses. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. We should trust in Him and know that nothing is impossible with His help. We have focused on 'I've Got Peace Like a River' this week as our bible song. We will continue to add verses on in the weeks to come. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "courier new";">This week they are able to look at different pathways (curvy, zig-zag and straight). Students are working on performing various locomotor movements on these types of pathways. We taped the pathways on the carpet for movement and the students must work to stay on the path as best as possible. They continue to warm their bodies up for movement time through various songs in the SPARK curriculum. </span><br />

The firemen were able to talk to them about fire safety. They were able to see the firemen in all of their gear, hear a smoke detector go off, practice stop drop and roll, and crawl under 'smoke' (a tarp). After learning more about fire safety the students were able to check out two fire trucks outside. While were outside on of the trucks got called on an emergency. The students were able to see what happens when a call for help comes to the firefighters! They looked at several items on the firetruck and even crawled inside to take a closer look! The students had a blast being able to do this!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The students heard the story of Moses this week. They were able to see the importance of being able to trust God with their futures. It shows us how families are part of God's plan for our well-being. Scary and sad things happen, but with God's power we are safe and protected. All our bible stories this year will point us to one thing, our Savior. Our God is a God of surprises, and He has a loving plan for our lives. Even when things become difficult or bad things happen, He is there for us. As it says in Psalm 31:15, "My times are in Your hands" we can rest assured that God will continue to watch over us and keep us in His loving arms. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">Students are focusing on different pathways this week. The best way to describe this is by using different lines for the students. We have curvy, zig-zag and straight. The students have been doing several activities that help them understand the difference between each pathway. They have been doing a warm up song to help get their bodies moving. They have also worked on their stretching of their muscles before doing the set concept for the day. They are doing a great job of listening to the instructions they are given by the teacher and the CD during the warm-up songs.</span></div>

While learning this concept, the students have been singing 'Did you ever see a turtle?' and 'Head and shoulders'. These songs have been very helpful for the students who are struggling with the concept this week. They have to listen careful to their teacher as they are singing the song. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">We are all unique. Each of us have our own families in the preschool classroom. But all the families have something in common. We are all sinners and in need of God's love and mercy. It is true for us today as it was true for Joseph and his family. Joseph was part of a large family, but his father had singled him out as the favorite. This caused tension for the other brothers in the family. When the brothers saw their father favoring Joseph, they became angry. Joseph was sent away by his brothers. But later in life, Joseph chose to forgive his brothers. We can learn from him. Despite being wronged, Joseph chose to forgive his brothers for what they had done. Just as Christ forgave us for our sins, we should forgive those who have wronged us in life! How important it is to teach forgiveness to the people in our lives. As it says in Genesis 28:15, "God says, I am with you." What a blessing to know that despite the mistakes we make, we have the love of Christ with us each day. </span></div>

God promised to be with Jacob during his journey. Jacob's life was anchored in God's promise. He was thankful that God was present in his life. By God's grace, Jacob was able to rest assure that he would be safe and loved all the days of his life. God promises the same thing for us! Even though we make mistakes in our lives, God will be there for us. He will continue to keep us close to Him and safe in His arms. As it says in our passage for the week from Joshua 1:9, "God is with you wherever you go." We can rest assured that this promises are true for us as well. The students have been able to learn a new song this week, I've got the joy joy joy joy down in my heart! They enjoy being able to sing these words easily after the first day and preform the actions.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This week, the students heard the story of Abraham and Sarah. Our passage this week was 1 John 3:2, "Beloved, we are God's children now." In this story, they were able to hear about a promise. We were able to explain to the students what a promise is and how when God makes a promise, we can be sure that He will follow through. In the story, God promised Abraham that one day - he would have the Savior born from his family. God told Abraham that he would be blessed with a son. However, Abraham and his wife Sarah were very old and did not think it was possible to have a baby. God made a promise to them and sure enough, at the end of the story we saw that God followed through! He blessed Abraham and Sarah with the birth of their son, Isaac. What a blessing it is to know that God follows through on His promises. He promised to send His son, Jesus, to save us. Once again, He followed through on His promise. Now we can look forward to the day that He follows through on another promise - to bring us to heaven one day. What a joy it is to hear this message! The students were able to learn a song called, 'My God is SO Great!'. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Bible Time (One in Christ Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">This week the students are focusing on the Tower of Babel. In this story, the students hear about how the people of God wanted to do things their own way. There were consequences to doing things their own way. In this story, the students hear about how God created different languages in the lesson He taught to His people. After the people chose to ignore what God asked of them, He chose to show them His power and love through confusing them with new languages. Sometimes God has to show us His love through an action we may not understand - but God has His reasons. Jesus continues to forgive us for the mistakes we make each day, just like His people in the tower of Babel. We can encourage one another in the Lord. They were able to focus on Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the kingdom of God." We were able to introduce a new song to the students with actions - "Lord I lift Your name on high!" they enjoy being able to sing this song with the actions throughout the week.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"><b>Movement Time (SPARK Curriculum):</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Courier New;">The focus in movement time this week is running. The students are using different musical songs and games to help solidify this concept. They are able to play 'red light green light' and perform different speeds based on the song being played for them on the CD. SPARK Curriculum provides several action based songs for the students to use a warm up activity before the lesson.</span></div>

To help the students get excited - we were able to have a few fun themed days this week! Today was mix up Wednesday! The students were able to dress in silly apparel. Tomorrow they will be wearing their class color - preschool is RED! Friday will be our school color day, we are teal and gold! It is great to have our preschool students participate with our grade school.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: "courier new";">This week we see Gods mercy on us, His children. Our students heard the story of Noah and the flood this week. We can see the almighty power of our Lord in this story. Noah saw Gods mercy when he was able to build the ark and save his family from destruction. God's grace is what saved Noah. Through His sons death on the cross - we are saved by faith. What a wonderful blessing to tell a story that shows the might of our Lord. The students were able to learn the 'Arky Arky' song this week to go with our story. They focused on Psalm 106:4, "Remember me, O LORD." God keeps his promises. After the flood, He sent a rainbow in the sky as a reminder that he would never again send a flood to destroy the whole world. We can trust in Him and His word. </span></div>
