We had our first ever early childhood event with other Lutheran schools.
Our friends gathered at St Paul High School; we watched stories by the drama club, listened to music, and had a snack on the lawn.

Our first ever ECC Christmas Program was a BIG hit! I could not be any more pleased with the outcome. These kiddos blew me away. They remembered their lines, places, and songs.

​Independent Play is a GREAT thing!

Independent play fosters creativity. When children are encouraged to solve problems on their own, they come up with endless possibilities.
Picture
We play board games quite frequently in preschool. Games teach so many skills.
​Our current goal is teaching "winning and losing". It's a lesson everyone needs to learn. How do we handle winning and losing? We've been practicing. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Teaching good eating habits in preschool!

​Scissor skills are tough. We've been practicing
​A LOT lately. 

Great Job Sawyer!
