A Word From Preschool  

As I write this article for the February Chronicle it is January and the students and teachers are back from sharing the joy of Christmas with our families.

Parents, teachers, staff and students have hit the ground running as the New Year starts with a whirl wind of academic activities to complete. Thought provoking, fascinating discoveries lie awaiting us in our curriculum.

This brings us to the great time the preschoolers and teachers are having in Preschool. God has provided us with excellent examples of weather to study. We love to study weather. The students and teachers alike have such a good time exploring, problem solving and using teamwork to understand and learn about weather. We will study how animals survive and live in different types of weather. We will study hibernation, camouflage and adaption of animals in weather.

Our week of studying Ice, Snow and Cold Weather has had perfect weather conditions to use as examples. Parents didn't seem as pleased as us with the brisk, freezing wind and rain. And it is true that the students did not seem to spend much time playing with the large ice sculptures and cubes in the water table until they have defrosted their frozen faces and hands upon entering the class in the mornings. We are now studying Rainbows and clouds. To this end we will observe, describe and record some basic properties of water, its presence and effects in the physical world. We will demonstrate knowledge of the element of water in the material world in the state of rain, and link it to weather conditions. We will use dice to make rainbows by using math skills .We will make rainbows using crayons, watercolors, mirrors and the sun on water, and paper confetti.

We will admire, count and identify different types of clouds in our sky.We will talk about God's Promise. We will explore all the beautiful colors of the rainbow and how they are made. Have you ever seen a beautiful ice rainbow? We will admire, count and identify different types of clouds in our sky.

The next week is Thunder and Lightening Week. We discuss how to get over weather fears. We measure water and listen to Thunder. We use math skills to make Thunder cake.   The last week in January our weather unit focus is on wind and clouds. To the study of wind we add bubbles. If someone has a small plastic wading pool to donate and we have good weather, we will be able to make incredible "over a preschooler and up bubbles".

Happy Valentine's Day to all of you.

I recorded the answers that our preschoolers gave during a religion lesson and wish to share them with you as part of our Happy Valentine Day message to you. I asked them how do you know Jesus loves you and why do you love Him...I hope these warm your heart.

The Preschoolers, Ms. Traci and I wish to thank you for all of the many ways you support, help and lift up in prayer our school, teachers and students. When we see or hear something that reminds us of your support it makes us feel energized with the love of Jesus. Thank You Mrs. Vincent
