Classroom Happenings……


For all you parents that WISH you could be a fly on the wall…

Here is one piece of news from each class –enjoy!


Parent Tot had their first class this week and we have 12 very excited kids!




The RTG kids are exploring the room and learning the routine.

Ask your child what they do when their name is mentioned in the song:

"Hey, Hey… What Do You Say??"
They LOVE it!





The  3AM class is having an early lesson in compassion.

They made get well cards and decorated an autograph apple for their friend, Sam, who broke his arm.

Ask your 3PM child what happened to the letters in the classic book, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, and stop in to see the art that the story inspired!



The 4AM & PM classes are learning the song Getting To Know You while they enjoy reuniting with old friends and meeting new ones!




Our Morning KE LOVED the recent book they read that was filled with fun facts!

The book led to a discussion of everyone’s special talents.

Ask YOUR child what their special talent is!

The Afternoon KE received their journals this week!

They decorated the cover and made their first entry.




Kids Say the Darndest Things……
We were celebrating Sam’s birthday in Ready Two Grow this week.  Not to be left out, Brock B. declared:

“I am 2 and 3 quarters!!”

Miss Byrd was playing restaurant in the 3 year old morning class.  Christopher J., using his best grown up voice, said:

"I’d like to order some roast beef, please..."

Then just for a moment, Christopher stepped out of character and confessed to Miss Byrd:

"I’m just ordering roast beef to be grown up. In real life I don’t like roast beef!"

The 3’s were singing the goodbye song and Miss Byrd told the children she would not see them again until 2 sleeps.

Just then a light bulb went off in Grace L’s head and she said:

"I could come over for a sleepover!”

The Church Kindergarten class just completed reading a great book filled with fascinating facts about animals and all that makes each one special!

Mrs. Dashiell asked the class what makes them special?

Ben R. thought for a while and said:

”I could fit so many goldfish in my mouth at one time… you wouldn’t believe it!!!”

A special treat for the kids in the Afternoon KE class is to select go through the alphabet and everyone in the class agrees on topics to study that begin with the letters.  

The class was stuck on the letter ‘G’.  

Tatum M. had a great idea:

”We could study my sister Greer!”
