The month of January was a busy month here at preschool.  We spent the month learning about snow, ice, penguins and all the other cold things that winter brings.  We also had a chance to go to Raceway Pizza in Braidwood for a field trip.  The kids really enjoyed having a tour of the restaurant and seeing how the pizzas are made.  Their favorite by far though was making their own pizzas, either cheese or pepperoni, and then being able to eat it.

For Jesus and chapel this month we learned about the three wise men, Jesus at the temple, Jesus calling the 12 disciples, and the baptism of Jesus.  We also collected $30.24 for the families in Connecticut at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.  This money will be donated through Lutheran Church Charities.  

For February in chapel we are going to be collecting for a congregation member whose ex-husband took his own life.  The money collected will be used to help her three children attend a Christian Preschool. 

We are looking forward to the next month at school, especially Valentines Day.  It is a day of showing the ones you love that you care.  It is also a day to remember that God loves us, no matter what!  What a wonderful gift, even better than a box of chocolates! 

 

God’s blessings as we start the Lenten Season,
