A Gift to the Soldiers

My precious mother in law bakes cookies for a soldier every month. We made pictures to send with October's batch of cookies. Thought these were sweet. We will try to participate in this as much as we can. Thank you soldiers!

OCTOBER at a glance...

Playing catch up!

Ok..so I apologize for not keeping up with this blog very well. Preschool is very time consuming. :) We have been having tons of fun and learning all kinds of new things the last month or so. The next few posts will include photos from mostly the month of October. The kids participated in a lot of hands on activites that allowed them to explore their "5 Super Senses". For our "Capes and Wings" theme, we dressed up as different things and used our imaginations every day to become things like a fireman, a princess, an animal doctor, and great superheroes. We discussed that Jesus is our greatest hero and we should want to be like Him. "On The Farm" was one of the kids favorite themes so far. We were "pigs in the mud" one day. We talked about all the things we eat that come from a farm, and they thought that was very cool. :) Our bible lessons in October was that "God Heals Us (Exodus 15:26).
We had a lot of sick kids starting out. This lesson was a great one for the time. We are always praying for God to make people feel better and keep everyone healthy. The kids enjoy getting to pray for their families every day. Enjoy the pics! :)
