This week in Preschool....February 3-7, 2014

Do not fear, only believe.  Luke 8:50
This week we learned about Jesus raising Jairius' daughter from the dead.  This reminds  us that Jesus is the ultimate healer.  We also talked about our fears and what we are afraid of, and we know that Jesus is always with us, and we can always call on Him in prayer.

We have been practicing our names in salt trays.

We are using our gross motor skills by pounding tees into styrofoam and then pulling them out.

We sorted candy hearts by color, using tweezers to pick them up, and work on our fine motor skills.

We are learning good healthy habits, by practicing brushing teeth, using an egg carton, and shaving cream.

We played a band aid memory game.

In Art, we made Valentine bags, mosaic hearts, where we had to use scissors to cut different shapes and glue them on the heart.  We painted Olympic rings.

We enjoy watching the penguin web cam everyday from the zoo, and we like to see you tube videos about penguins.  We are going to try to watch some of the Olympics on the iPad also within the next couple of weeks.

We have fun dressing up from our dramatic play area.

Having fun in the housekeeping area, play dough, and at the light table.

We read....
Guess How much I Love You
Penguin Love
Froggy's First Kiss
There was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Rose

Just a reminder that Friday will be our Pancakes and Pajamas Day.  Please wear your shoes that day so we are able to play in the gym.
