Pre-K 4 has been a busy place. We continue to learn the Letter of the Week. As of February 2nd, we have learned the letters A-S. Beginning in January, the boys and girls started writing the letter of the week. We always ask the Lord to help as writing can be really hard.

In library, Pk-4 enjoys when I read a book to them that is correlated with their letter of the week. This week for the letter Q we read the book, “The Quilt Story” by Tony Johnston. They enjoyed reading about the love that the character had for her quilt that her mom made for her. After the story they had the opportunity to color their own quilts. We had some wonderful creations.

We are learning about the “real” Christmas story. Jesus came to earth and was born as a baby, just for us! We are memorizing Luke 2:1, “Today in the TOwn of David a Saniour has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord.”
Songs are a part of our every day schedule in Pre K-4. Some of our favorites are: 5 Little Speckled Frogs, 5 Little monkeys, Teasing Mr. Alligator (because Mr. Alligator likes to nibble the little monkeys’ ears), and Jesus We Crown You With Praise. We love to sing silly songs and we love to praise the Lord!
Elementary School’s Christmas Program took place on Friday, December 12, 2008 – “Through the Eyes of the Friendly Beasts”. Third through fifth grade elective classes performed the drama, dance and chorus part of the program. Pre-school were dressed up as the world’s cutest angels. Kindergartners were the kings and brought gifts to Baby Jesus. First and second graders were shepherds out in the fields keeping watch over their flocks.
This program had us view the Christmas Story through the eyes of the animals that were present that Holy Night. The Sanctuary was filled with parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and many friends. Over 700 were in attendance.
Please check out “Galleries” to view some really cute pictures.
In Pre-K 4 we do crafts to reinforce our academic concepts. We painted fuzzy yellow ducks, made fuzzy fish, orange pumpkins, and colored and decorated an “Ii”. We colored horses and houses and made big brown gorillas. Yes, we are busy, busy, busy in Pre-K 4.
Miss Holden
As usual, I like to teach silly songs. Some songs we are learning include “I’m a Lonely Little Petunia in an Onion Patch”, “Miss Mary Mack”, “Five Little Speckled Frongs” and “Tommy Thumpkin”.

This is Miss Holden and I am so happy and blessed to be back in my Pre-K class. Thank you Miss Herrera for all you did while I was gone. Working with me are Miss Jasmin Doman and Miss Cherry Priskila. Miss Cherry is new to Evangel and to PreK-4. Both ladies are a blessing to the class and to me.
We have had a great time in Pre-K 4 so far. The students made special handprints in paint with the verse Proverbs 22:6 written on them for the Back to School night.
