Advent Adventure: Hopeful Angel

Making Applesauce/Cinnamon Ornaments with Stay, Play, and Learn!

Our room smelled like "Christmas" after making our applesauce/cinnamon ornaments.

Family Fun Night!

We sang, crafted, and read a story together on a snowy night in December.  The children loved singing together with their preschool pals in their pajamas!

8th Grade Lunch Buddies

Our preschoolers are lucky to have their 8th Grade Lunch Buddies come help with lunch time.

Being Thankful

Our preschool children are blessed with the abundance of school materials.   This week we sorted with fruit counters, designed with colorful shapes, and used our paint dotters on a math activity.   We also made pasta necklaces for our Thanksgiving Feast next week.  It's been a busy week!

A Tour With Fr. Paul

Our Preschoolers met with Fr. Paul last week and had a tour of Lumen Christi Church.  Fr. Paul read a story, showed the children around the church, and explained the meaning behind the beautiful stained glass windows. Can you see the turtle in the window?  Did you know the stained glass windows around the church are hands praying?  Fun to learn neat facts about our church!

All Saint's Day

Our Stay, Play, and Learn class learned about Saint Francis of Assisi on All Saint's Day.  Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals and the environment.  The preschoolers enjoyed drawing pictures of this beloved saint.

It's Pumpkin Time!

           Our love exploring and investigating pumpkins during our "Life Cycle of a Pumpkin Unit".  

"Be Safe"

We just finished our "Be Safe" unit in our preschool rooms.  The children loved having the Saint Paul Firefighters come visit us.  They even let us sit in the firetruck! Thank you for keeping us safe!

Nature Prints

The weather has been absolutely beautiful in St. Paul this week!  We've taken full advantage of the sunny days and played and explored outside as much as we can.  The children loved painting with hydrangeas and cone flowers.  The prints turned out fantastic!

Calm Preschoolers

The 3 Day Preschoolers were fortunate to have Chrissy Mignogna visit our classrooms and lead our Preschoolers in yoga.  Chrissy is a yoga instructor who loves working with children.  She helped the children learn techniques to calm their bodies.
