Happy Friday, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year...all wrapped into one!!!

It is hard to believe that the first semester is over and the second half of the school year is upon us! Prayers for each of you for a safe and happy holiday season. I am looking forward to a GREAT rest of the school year with your wonderful kiddos!

You could feel the excitement in the air today...Christmas is almost here! But, still a 1/2 day of fun and learning with our friends!

Have a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year...see you in 2026!

It was a Thursday full of excitement in preschool today!!!

Just 1 1/2 days of school left in 2025 AND a Christmas party!

First...some candy construction to start our day...

To wrap up morning meeting, we read together "The Very Hungry Reindeer" by Mrs. Smith (former Zion teacher). This "spin off" of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" has this reindeer eating some silly Christmas things...and he turns into...RUDOLPH!!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday Everly! Thank you for sharing your special day with us!

We were a little bummed to see the rain today, bit we were excited that meant dancing songs in the commons...or just chasing each other around!

It's PARTY TIME!!!!

First a yummy snack...Gingerbread shaped pretzels, strawberries, and redi-whip! (oops, forgot the pictures today)

While Mrs. Dose was cleaning up from snack, I read the book, "The First Christmas Night". This book is a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Savior, Jesus!

Time for some fun activities!!!

We loved the hot cocoa marshmallow toss!

There was even a little "pin the nose on the snowman"!

We decorated wood Christmas ornaments!

So much fun getting to play Christmas BINGO!

To wrap up the party, we enjoyed the story of Christmas from the eyes of a wiseman's camel, Humphrey, and his journey to meet the baby Jesus!

We got to play with Mrs. Fish's class in the gym and had the best time! We played ring around the rosie over and over again ;o)

For Jesus Time, we enjoyed watching the Christmas story video from the Beginner's Bible!

Have a good night...

Welcome to our Wednesday in preschool...

Even fewer days of school left in 2025 AND it's almost Christmas!

A little candy construction to get our brains and bodies moving this morning...

To wrap up morning meeting, we read together "The Very Hungry Reindeer" by Mrs. Smith (previous teacher at Zion). This "spin off" of "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" has this reindeer eating some silly Christmas things...and he turns into...RUDOLPH!!!

Miss Steinbacher led chapel as we learned about the last 2 types of Chrismons on the church Christmas trees, the manger and the shepherds staff (which we all thought looked like candy canes)!

We hit the preschool playground on our way back from chapel to get our wiggles out before Christmas Party #1!

It's PARTY TIME!!!!

First a yummy snack...Gingerbread shaped pretzels, strawberries, and redi-whip!

While Mrs. Fahey was cleaning up from snack, I read the book, "The First Christmas Night". This book is a great reminder of the true meaning of Christmas. The birth of our Savior, Jesus!
