Cooking Fun

This week both classes had their first day of cooking!  We made Applesauce Crunch because of all the apples in autumn. We also learned about the number 4. The 1st year preschoolers worked on circles and learned in religion how each child is special. God loves your kids and so do we! The Pre-K kids brought their favorite things from home for "Show-n-Tell" and also concentrated on the letter "C". 
Cookie Dough Fundraiser information went home this week and is due back October 14th.

Bbbusy Week!

The week started off with a visit from the Mehlville Fire Department.  They showed us all of their equipment and how they use it.  They also talked about when and how to call 911 in an emergency.  Lights and sirens were going as they left!  During Chapel we talked about how Jesus is the "key" to heaven. We worked on the number three. Pre-K moved on to the letter Bb.  We ended the week by painting whales and sharks for "Blue Day."

We are in full swing!

The Pre-K kids started the letter "A" this week and it was "Awesome"! Both the first year and Pre-K classes learned the number 2 in this "2nd" week of school.  We also talked about how the bible can be used to learn about God's word. Additional discussions were held about what a great county we live in.

Our First Week at Resurrection

Our #1 First Year kids were so excited about school! We practiced the number 1 along with maze fun, tadpoles and frogs! The children and teachers are looking forward to "Show and Tell" in the next few weeks. Check your classroom's calendar for the exact date (varies by classroom).

The PreK classes had a great first week of school as well! It was a lot of fun to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones too. We made magnets to hold our art work and colored big apples. Next week we will start on writing the alphabet.
