What's SPECIAL this week?
*This week we are learning about our favorite colors in the class and mixing primary colors as well. We will be focusing how the secondary colors orange, green, and purple are made. After this week, we will also be looking at what colors mean and if any colors represent things that are special to us.

Fruit of the Spirit: Self Control
For the past three weeks we've been working on self-control with the students. For preschoolers, this would be taking control of their actions; how they react when they get angry, listening to the teacher and obeying the first time they are asked to do something, not speaking when someone else is talking, not running in the classroom, etc. This can be very hard for 4 and 5 year olds to master, however with practice and consistency, I know all our students can show self-control.
