It's hard to believe, but the last day of preschool is here!

The journey, for me, has been fantastic!  Each child is unique and has brought something special to our classroom!  Once again, thank you for the chance to share each day with your child!  For those whose preschool days with Zion are complete...I will miss you, but you will do GREAT next year!  For those returning for another year of preschool...I will see you soon...August will be here in the blink of an eye!

A special thank you to Mrs. Dose and Mrs. Cruz, your hard work and dedication to Zion's children is appreciated more that you will ever know!!!  THANK YOU!!!

(You know I had to sneak in one last reminder!)

Join us for "Popsicles at the Park" on Thursday, May 22 from 9:00 - 11:00 am at Laurel Park. Come and play with your preschool friends and enjoy some yummy popsicles to kick off the summer! (On that note, a parent, grandparent, etc, needs to be in attendance the entire time your child is at the park.) 

If weather is questionable on Thursday morning, Mrs. Kuhlmann will make a decision at 8:30 and she will send out a message via phone if the event is cancelled due to inclement weather.  If you do not receive a phone call at 8:30, come on out...the event is still on!!!

We enjoyed free choice time playing and creating with our friends! These valuable social skills, learned through play, will last a lifetime! We LOVE our friends! 

Yay for early outside time!!!

To finish up morning meeting, we sang and danced to "What Do the Letters Say?"  A fun way to practice identifying letters (on the smartboard) and their sounds!

Then a little Veggie Tales dance party!!!

Finally, to celebrate our last day, we joined Mrs. Douglas' class for a Veggie Tales movie!

Before heading outside to play, some friends chose to make one more kite!!!

More time to play, play, play outside (or cool down in the shade!)

One last picnic lunch with Mrs. Douglas' class! (it was quite warm today, thank goodness for shade!!!)

During Jesus Time, Paul the puppet came to remind us of his story.  He was changed, by God's Word and Baptism, to love Jesus and spread the Good News.  Zippy remembered us today too, he came to remind us that even if we make poor choice, God still loves us and forgives us!
