May's BIG IDEA Focus statement at school..."I can make and keep friends."
This month our children are learning about the word CONTENTMENT. Here are some key statements that you can share with your child at home.
- "I like" - We can show contentment by being thankful for our belongings, for people, our health, and even things we do not see.
- "who am I"- We were all created differently. We have different talents and interests, but that's what makes us special. We can be proud of who we are.
- "and what I have."- When we appreciate the things that we already have, we feel happy and content.
We love our new preschool class- TRINITY 2's. The theme for this Spring Class is "God Made Birds, Flowers and Me!"
Learning about Jesus during the month of May!
Our theme in May is Discipleship. We get to share the love of Jesus with everyone! It is so exciting that everything that we have learned this year that we can SHARE it with others:) God has done so much for us...even created the birds, flowers and all of us!!!
