Preschool News
Merry Christmas from the kiddos here at First St. John Preschool. The kids and I want to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year. Here at preschool there are so many things to be thankful for this year.
We had 12 new little girls (yes, all girls), :) that received their quilt this year. What a wonderful blessing for these girlies. Thank you, ladies, for your hard work and your loving kindness.
In December the children will be getting ready for Christmas. Activities will complement our lessons to help the kiddos understand what makes Christmas the most wonderful time of the year. Stories, crafts, centers, bible verses, and our parties will help us jingle all the way. With the anticipation of Santa and his reindeer, we will also find out time focusing on the true reason for the season. We will listen to beautiful stories about our wonderful Savior and sing songs of praise in His name. There are so many precious picture books about God's amazing gift that it will be heard to choose which one to read. From Max Lucado's - The Cripples Lamb - to - The Sparkle Box - by Jill Hardie, it's always a challenge to make my final selections. Who knows, I may just have to read all of them. :)
Our Savior, Jesus Christ, was born for each of us, what an amazing gift. It's true, He loves you and He loves me, too!!!! What a beautiful blessing. May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas season and may we all bear in mind the true reason for the season.
Merry Christmas to all,
Ms. Stacy and the preschool kiddos.
