Parents Corner
In the month of April we will be doing a lot of transition work. This means we will be building on tasks to make them more challenging. The children will do multiple step directives and will begin to work independently. I promise they are ready to handle it! Every opportunity to get outside will be taken, so please have your child dressed to play!

God In Our Lives
The most important aspect of our religion program is that the children know God and His Son Jesus love them unconditionally. We try very hard to make the conversations about Jesus as casual as we can. I want them to feel like He is a real person. Simply asking them, “What would Jesus do?” can really have an impact on their behavior. We spend a lot of time trying to catch them doing something nice. It isn’t that hard to find! The Tues/Thurs children along with the M/W/F children will visit God's home. We will talk again about the manners we use when visiting a friends house, as well as how you might dress.

Umber u. Umbrella Bird
We will listen to the story of Queeny Q. Quail and Umber U. Umbrella bird and their “quality” friendship. This is a review from the letter Qq week, so we will be sure to ask some comprehension questions. the PreK children will be creating a special multi-direction based letter crown. It is a great example of how we are diving into more demanding but still fun activities. The Tues/Thursday children will be completing a picture involving the word "up." Can you believe the luck in finding a song and video about umbrella birds!!!
Vincent v. Vampire Bat
I try and make the children understand how important Vincent V. Vampire Bat is to the food chain. Not very cuddly…but important. We will serve carrots and dip as a veggie snack. Both classes will be doing a science experiment making a volcano! It is always a big hit. The This is the week all four classes will be visiting God's House.
