Dear Friends,
Our “integrity” word of the month is Empathy. Our Bible verse is:
“Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic,
love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.” 1 Peter 3:8
Throughout this Lenten season we will be emphasizing God's love for us in
sending Jesus. We want the children to know Jesus as someone who really loves
them and helps them love others as well as being our Saviour. We will discuss the
importance of REPENTANCE and talk to the children about how God calls us to
“REPENT” which means to turn away from the bad things we do and change our
behavior. “Stop, turn around and do the right thing.”
Lent is not about trying to feel what Jesus felt. It is about pondering the
innocent suffering and death of the Son of God. It is about recognizing and
confessing our unworthiness in Gods’ presence. It is about thanking Him for His
unparalleled and underserved love with the prayer that we would live a life of
discipleship through the power of His Spirit. Ash Wednesday is March 5th with
service that night at 7:00; if you do not have a church home please join us for
services here each Wednesday through lent at 4:00 or 6:30 pm. or if your church
doesn’t offer a Lenten Service, we would be delighted to share this wonderful
message with you.
TUITION DUE
The fourth and final quarterly tuition payment is due on or before March 15th for
the T-TH and MWF classes. Please turn in those dollars as close to the 15th as
possible. If you are on a monthly plan we thank you for getting those in each month
by the 15th. We have been blessed by you and your children this year. We want to
thank you for sending your child here, we know you have other options and we are so
grateful that you have lent them to us for their preschool experience. Please let
friends and families know about us so that we can continue to nurture and teach the
gift of God’s amazing love for us.

you?’”

4. Pre-K
Tidbits
Would you like
your 3, 4 or 5 year
old to be a little
more
independent?
Have a little more
responsibility?
Try a few of these
age appropriate
chores for your
toddler.
It’s March and still to cold
to play outside. Make your
own snow.
~ Pick up toys and books and put them in their
proper place (first assign clear places for
your child's things)
~ Put dirty clothes in the hamper (try after bath, in
the morning, and before bed)
~ Wipe the table after snack and dinner- not only is
this an easy task for toddlers but they usually enjoy
helping!
~ Dusting- make it fun! I purchased a bath hand
puppet at The Dollar Tree for Gabe to use when
dusting.
~ Unload the groceries- after a grocery trip I let
Gabe hand me items out of the grocery bags. As
he hands them to me I put them away. This keeps
him busy and saves me from bending over (Hey,
I'm not as young as I used to be)
~ Help set the table- While I set out the plates and
glassware I give Gabe the forks and napkins. He
loves helping me set the table.
~ Let them help you make the bed- do this chore
together and squeeze in a little bonding while you
work.
~ Wipe cabinet fronts- For this "chore" I give Rosie
a bucket of soapy water and a rag.
~ Put dishes in the sink after meals- They are
expected to do this in preschool anyway.
~ Water plants- for this chore I fill a measuring cup
with the appropriate amount of water for
each plant and then Gabe enjoys pouring it into the
pot and feeding the plant.
To make your own Snow:
It's spring fever. That is
what the name of it
is. And when you've got
it, you want - oh, you
don't quite know what it
is you do want, but it just
fairly makes your heart
ache, you want it so!
~Mark Twain
It was one of those
March days when the sun
shines hot and the wind
blows cold: when it is
summer in the light, and
winter in the shade.
~Charles Dickens, Great
Expectations
Add the desired amount of
baking soda to a sensory
bin or container. Then,
slowly mix in shaving
cream. I used one large
box of baking soda and
almost a full can of shaving
cream. As you slowly mix
in the shaving cream you
will discover a fantastic
mold-able snow. The
snow is super soft, silky
smooth, and smells so
clean and fresh. It is also
naturally cold. I am not
sure why exactly but it
is! It feels just like fresh
fallen powder in your
hands.
Song of Solomon 2:11-12
For behold, the winter is past; the rain
is over and gone. The flowers appear
on the earth, the time of singing has
come, and the voice of the turtledove
is heard in our land.”
