ANNUAL HIGHLIGHTS

Days We Look Forward to All Year

Fall Party

Children dress in their favorite costumes and enjoy a morning of fun with special snacks, crafts, games, and a costume parade.

Thanksgiving

For the month of November, our preschool class transforms into a Native American tribe complete with feather headbands and tom-toms. Learning units on history of Thanksgiving are taught leading up to a special snack of “Native American” foods served as a “cornucopia” before Thanksgiving break.

Christmas

A “Happy Birthday, Jesus!” celebration is planned with parents and grandparents invited. Our preschool class presents a program of singing, saying Bible verses, and a special bell choir! Afterwards, there is a fun Christmas gift exchange between the children and a pizza party for all to enjoy to complete the morning festivities.

Groundhog Day

Preschoolers learn about the groundhog, predict whether the groundhog will see his shadow or not, play groundhog games, sing groundhog songs, make a groundhog craft, and eat a groundhog snack.

Valentine’s Day

Our class makes their own Valentine card holders, brings Valentine cards for each other, and enjoys a special party just for them. 

“I Am NOT Going to Get Up Today!”

To celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday, our preschool class wears their pajamas to school and time is spent reading Dr. Seuss books, activities, and watching a Dr. Seuss video – “The Sneetches.”

Cowboy Day

A special unit on Cowboys is taught and a special “Cowboy Day” is planned for the preschool class. Dressing up as cowboys or cowgirls, eating trail mix, playing “cowboy” games, doing “cowboy” crafts are all a part of the fun on this day.

March Lion Day

For the month of March, our preschoolers use an interactive calendar to determine whether each day is a “lion” or a “lamb” day. Graphing skills are used as the calendar is completed. At the end of March, the preschoolers make their own “Lion” snack to eat.

Green Day

In the middle of March, the preschoolers enjoy “Green Day.” Everyone wears green, and the preschoolers eat “Green Eggs and Ham” while watching the Dr. Seuss video. Green crafts and games about green are played to make this a special day.

Easter

A fun day is planned before Easter with special snacks, crafts, and an emphasis on the real meaning of Easter. The children enjoy participating in an Easter egg hunt at the end of their morning.

End-of-Year Celebration

At the end of our preschool year in May, a themed Graduation Celebration is planned for our preschoolers and their families. Certificates of completion of preschool are handed out at a special program for our preschoolers. Themes that are rotated throughout the years include: Circus, Western,
Beach Balls, Safari, and Space. The preschoolers perform a short program for their families, and it’s a very special day and a special way to say “goodbye” for the summer.
