Finishing Strong!

Testing

This past week we spent some time reviewing and testing what we have learned so far.

Field Trip

We had a great time on our field trip. We enjoyed watching the puppets. The costumes were great and so was the scenery.

Chapel

Last week's chapel was lead by a first grade mom. She taught us a song and spoke to us about being ambassadors for Christ.

Singing and Learning!

We have learned many songs. We have learned how to spell colors, the days of the week, the weather, the months of the year and many others. Here is a video of one of our songs, enjoy!

Have a blessed week and see you on Friday!!!

It’s Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

Great Season!

Christmas is by far one of my favorite seasons! I love the reason for the season, the music, the lights, the decoration, everything about is just great! These next couple weeks will go by fast and we are looking forward to them!
Here are some highlights from last week; we hope that you enjoy the pictures!

On Wednesday afternoon it rained really hard. Our room and some parts of the school flooded.

The students did a great job helping to roll up the carpets, and move things around to dry places so we would not have anything damaged. They remained calmed and even had a little fun in the rain!
We had pink day on Thursday. The girls looked beautiful and the boys did a great job bringing in their toys!
On Friday, we put out our Christmas tree and everyone helped decorate it. It was great to see the student’s excitement and teamwork in decorating the class.

Have a wonderful week, thank you for your prayers and support!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Many Things to be Thankful for...

We really have endless reasons to be thankful for! We thank God for the wonderful year that he has give us so far in pre-kinder. The students are growing and learning a lot! We have been able to experience God’s love and faithfulness in many ways.
We are thankful for each one of the students that God has brought to our classroom, for every family and for the healthy relationships that have been established. We also thank God because our class is growing every day to be a community and safe place where we all enjoy spending time together, learning and growing in every area of our lives!
Here are some pictures with some of the highlights of the past couple weeks! Enjoy!

On Thursday November 15th we had Orange Day!

On Friday November 16th, we had a great time on our first swimming lessons!

On Wednesday November 21st, we celebrated thanksgiving!

First we ate cornbread together as a special snack

Then, we had a special chapel where each class had a special presentation and they got to share what they were thankful for. Second grade had a great play reenacting the first thanksgiving!

And to end this special day we played games all afternoon!

A Quick Update

Gray Day and Gray Elephants

We always have a lot of fun painting and we have great artists in our classroom!

Special Chapel

It was fifth grade's turn to lead chapel last week. They did a wonderful job! We enjoyed the songs, the skits and the puppets. Thank you for working hard on preparing this chapel and sharing your hearts with us, fifth graders, we loved it!

Have a blessed week and thank you for all your support!

Special Day!

Christian Character Day and Fall Festival

We had a great time last Friday celebrating Christian Character day in the morning and Fall Festival in the afternoon! We all got to dress up as a Christian Character. The people who where in the classroom got to guess who we were after we gave them some clues. We were able to share why we chose our character. After the time in the classroom, Pre-Kinder Kids got to lead the parade. We got to see all of our friends from other grades dressed up as we walked through the classrooms in the new building. We ended our wonderful morning with a great chapel and with Mrs. Uribe as our speaker.

After our exiting morning we had lunch outside with all of the ECA community and had beautiful sun shine for a little while. It did rain pretty hard afterwards but we were very thankful for the sun we got! There were many different kinds of foods and fun games. The Anentos were all working very hard selling delicious pastries from their bakery and want to donate half of the money they earned to Pre-Kinder and the other half to First grade. Thank you for coming and sharing this great day with us!

White Day on Thursday

Have a wonderful week and thank you for your support at home!

Last Week Went by Fast!

Chapel

Last week we had two special guests from Canada lead our chapel. They taught us new songs and reminded us what it looks like to treat others in a loving way.

Purple Day

We had a great day on purple day. Most girls and teachers wore purple and the boys brought their cows! We leaned the "Purple Cow" poem by Gelett Burguess, as well as, the purple song.

Birthday Party

We ended our week on Friday, with a birthday party celebrating Sharity's fifth birthday. We had delicious cake and she even had a present for each one of her friends! It is always fun to share special dates with loved ones!

Bears, Blueberry Muffins and Black

Bear Day

We had a great day on Wednesday with all the bears that the students brought to school. They each had a turn to share about their bear in front of the class. We also had a HUGE friendly bear come and visit us.

The students were excited to see the big bear and even though she was so friendly they were a little bit scared:)!

Cooking Class

Samara's mom, Mrs. Munoz, is a chef and she decided to come and visit our class one afternoon last week. She taught us how to make Blueberry Muffins and how to decorate them nicely! The students loved cooking, decorating and eating them for sure:)! They were tasty. We had a great time and we were thankful that Mrs. Munoz was able to come and share this time with us.

Decorating the muffins with Mrs. Munoz and Mrs. Castellanos

Black Day

Our color days continue to be great. Not only do we learn a song about how to spell the color but also Snoopy comes to visit our class. We share with Snoopy and the rest of the class every thing that we are wearing with the color of the day. Pre-Kinder is just a great place to be!

These were some of the highlights of our week! We hope that you enjoy the week off and we will see you soon!

Letter Sounds

A A A... Acrobats

Learning the alphabet sounds is going well! The students did great last week. Since "A" was our first sounds, we practiced being Acrobats!

Chapel

Last week we had a very special chapel. We had chapel with the whole Elementary. Mrs.Moyer led it with her class' help. She also chose one student from each grade to help with her illustration.

Brown Day

"There is a color we all know, can you guess what it is? B-R-O-W-N, B-R-O-W-N, B-R-O-W-N, that's how we spell brown." This is our brown song, the students have done an excellent job learning how to spell the different colors.

Thank you for your help with homework! Have a blessed week!

Thank You for Coming!

Open House

Thank you so much for coming to our open house. We truly enjoyed sharing this time with you. We had been looking forward to it because we wanted you to see our classroom, sing with us some of the songs that we have learned and show you some of the work we have done. It was a very special day:)!

Green Day

We continue to enjoy our "color" day. The students have done a great job learning the songs and wearing as many clothes as they have with the color of the week! Keep up the great work:)!

On the day that we all wear the same color, we get to share with our friend Snoopy and the rest of the class what we are wearing. It is a great way to practice our speaking skills!

This Upcoming Week...

This week we will be starting many new things. We start leaning the sounds of each letter of the alphabet. We will do one letter per week. We will also start to learn a Bible verse with each letter. Thank you for your prayers and incredible support at home! Have a wonderful week!
