We make Science fun in Pre-K 3. As we learned each letter of the alphabet, our students in Pre-K 3 enjoyed participating and observing a special experiment with each letter. In the month of March, we worked very hand to find out how an ocean in a bottle is made. Why does the plastic bag not spring a leak? How does the helicopter fly? And other interesting science facts, Our little scientists had a lot of fun exploring and finding answers.
Every Friday, Pre-K 3 students looked forward to being part of prayer time and worshipping together. On February 1st, our students had the opportunity to share a beautiful story from the Bible. Samuel was called by God and he obeyed Him. He shared His Word to others. Speak, Lord. I am your servant, and I am listening. I Samuel 3:10. Samuel became a good helper. We talked about the different talents that God gives us to help each other and be kind to one another. The students portrayed a cook, a policeman, and a firefighter as our special community helpers. God loves good helpers.Every Friday, Pre-K 3 students looked forward to being part of prayer time and worshipping together.

On April 4th, students shared a second story from the Bible. Celebrating Earth Day, our students shared the beautiful creation story. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1. We explained how important it is to take good care of our blessed home that God created for us. Mountains, oceans, forests, creatures of all kind and the air we breath were given to us with love. Let us show God how much we appreciate it.
Pre-K 3 students visited Alley Pond Environmental Center on June 12. We enjoyed a wonderful time and a beautiful day at the center. Students were able to touch a few cute creatures that God created and are found in this pond. We saw and touched a small chick that was restless and wanted to explore. Students touched his soft young feathers. The students touched the strong shell that helps a turtle to protect himself from rough weather and predators. An interesting looking lizard caught PK 3 students’ attention. It looked kind of serious but was really kind to all of us when we touched his scales and long nails. The cutest of all was, without a doubt, a big black bunny rabbit. It felt soft to touch. To end our visit, the children stamped lots of footprints with a big smile on their faces. Parents and students had a terrific time.
Pre-K 3 students went to the Central Park Zoo on May 15. We had a great time. The children enjoyed watching the Seals, Polar Bears and especially the Penguins. We went to the Children’s Zoo and fed the cows, sheep and the alpaca. Parents were very happy and shared a wonderful time together. We also visited the Rainforest exhibition. We had the opportunity to watch beautiful birds and other species. We felt the warm weather typical from that area and for some minutes we were transported to that awesome part of the world. We thanked God for His wonders and for loving us and caring so much for us.
In October, Pre-K 3 had fun creating Rolly-Polly Caterpillars. This was part of our Language Arts and Art lessons. Our creations went along with the book they we enjoyed reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
