Hawaii Week

It's time for a "winter warm-up". Hazel Dell Christian Preschool is having Hawaii Week. On Tuesday, Jan. 26th, our class will be "flying" to Hawaii to go to the beach! A room will be set up to look like Hawaii... complete with palm trees, sand and water. Instead of recess, we will be playing at the beach (indoor sand box) and going swimming (small inflated pool). Bring a bathing suit and towel (and a change of underwear, if necessary).

For snack we will pretend to be on a plane flying home. We will have an "on-flight" snack and beverage (pretzels and juice).

Thursday, Jan. 28th, we will spend another day in Hawaii. NO bathing suit or towel needed. Snack time will be our Luau! We will discuss and taste the different Hawaiian foods.

Look for a sign-up sheet. ALOHA!

Sliding to Preschool

Thursday morning found the roads covered in ice. Our classes were delayed by one hour and we had several students who didn't make the slipping, sliding trip. We missed you! Even though it was a short day, we had lots of fun. We made masterpieces which we painted with marbles. We also played with magnets, monkeys and the "aqua doodle". During snack time, we decided to have a picnic...like Jesus did when He fed the 5,000....except we were indoors instead of out... and we had Cheezits instead of bread and fish...and there were 5 children instead of 5,000... and we didn't collect left over food. So maybe it wasn't just like Jesus' picnic, but we did give thanks.

Best Wishes TO Sunny Florida

Miss Georgeanna and her husband are currently snowbirds in Florida. She will be there for the month of January. She has left us in very competent hands, as Miss Julie is filling in for her. Thanks Miss Julie for all your help!

Hope you're having a great time, Miss Georgeanna. Miss you! Tell Mickey Mouse "hello" for us!
