MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!  SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND AT 5:00 OUR CLASS AND MRS. SMITH'S CLASS WILL BE SINGING HERE AT ZION AT THE SATURDAY NIGHT SERVICE.  WE STARTED PRACTICING OUR SONG THIS WEEK.  :)


I included the words below so you can practice with your child at home. 

Oh you can't keep Jesus' love in a box
love in a box
love in a box
Oh you can't keep Jesus' love in a box
'Cause His love will come a bubblin' through

Oh you can't keep Jesus' love in a jar
Love in a jar
Love in a jar
Oh you can't keep Jesus' love in a jar
'Cause His love will come a bubblin' through

So I'll just keep Jesus' love in my heart
love in my heart
love in my heart
So I'll just keep Jesus' love in my heart
'Cause His love will come a bubblin' through

     Zion will also be hosting an Open House on Feb. 10th from 1-3 p.m.  This would be a great time to come in and view our Preschool/Kindergarten classrooms and talk to our school staff!  Please invite friends and family who are interested in learning more about the great things that are going on at Zion Lutheran School!


Check out what we did today!


We started the day going to chapel with our dads!  Thank you to all of the dads who were able to come to the donuts for dads and to chapel.  It is fun to see how the Lord blesses us with such wonderful families here at Zion!

During chapel we learned about trust.  We learned about trusting God, our parents, and our teachers.  We remember that we can trust God because He is perfect!  He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross and rise again to save us from our sins!

Back in the classroom, we enjoyed playing in the puppet theater.  The children, again, are not only learning valuable social skills, but they are also practicing expressive language skills!


We started working on our tissue paper collages today.  The children are expressing creativity!








As the children play in the house, they are role playing family roles.  They are learning positive social skills such as conflict resolution and working together.




We finished our ice cube paintings today!  It was cold, messy, and fun!







We continued working on our life time lines.  The children arranged their pictures from youngest to oldest. They taped the pictures on the time line, and we hung the time lines in the hallway.  If you have not done so, please bring in (or e-mail me) a picture of your child from each year of age.  Thank you!
