In Religion we will continue to read stories about Jesus performing miracles and will add to our Jesus Tree. Thanks to the Houghton family for the paper towels!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Aren't the little leprechauns just a hoot? I am so blessed to work with this wonderful class!

I hope you all had a very nice and relaxing break. I sure did. My daughter and I took a very short trip to Branson to shop and I spent the rest of the time recharging my batteries.

This week in Preschool we will be learning about Transportation. We will make hot air balloons in Art, play with cars, trains, and boats in various centers, pretend to travel on an airplane as a class, practice following directions by completing some simple worksheets, and learn about the letter K. In Religion we will begin our Jesus Tree. During Lent we will listen to and discuss New Testament stories about Jesus' teaching and miracles. For each story we will add a symbol to our Jesus Tree.

If anyone would like to donate paper towels for the classroom, we are running low. Thank you!

Boy, we sure had fun last week! Aren't the little palentologists so cute?
