Director’s Corner

 

As the weather changes and we begin to prepare for the holiday season, you may find yourselves spending more time

indoors than before. Keeping energetic preschoolers busy is always a challenge! Invest in some indoor activities now to avoid the Boredom Blues later! Here is a recipe for play dough that is sure to engage your preschooler for hours.

 

COOKED PLAY DOUGH

 

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

1 cup water

1 T. vegetable oil

2 tsp. cream of tartar

 

Directions:

Heat until ingredients form a ball. Add food coloring or a packet of Kool-Aid for color.

 

With Much Love,

Mrs. Bell

 


Chapel Time

Our first month of Chapel was a lot of fun!!  We talked about God, the things He made and how special we are.  We had the most fun singing praises.  It was endearing to watch the children learn to talk to God through prayer. 

Favorite Songs:  “Two Little Hands” and “ He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”.

 

November:  We will continue with Enthusiasm to learn about gifts of love, friendships and family.  The classes will gather together for a Prayer Service and Thanksgiving Feast.

 

Have a blessed holiday and I’m thankful to teach your children.

 

God Bless,

Mrs. Bailey
