First Day of Preschool!

Today was our very first day at Together Time Christian Preschool! We started off the morning with prayer and a short devotional about how God created light. Then we sang "This Little Light of Mine." Our Letter of the Day was the letter A, and the children colored the letter A with crayons, painted a picture of the letter A and an apple, and used Play Doh to make A's. We talked about lots of words that have the A sound in them. Our Bible Word of the Day was "Adam," and we read about how God created the first man, Adam.

We sang several familiar Sunday School songs during music time today. I played the guitar while we sang, "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands," and we thought of words that begin with the letter A to sing about! So we said God has all the apples, ants, and alligators in His hands! :)

After snack time, we had recess outside for a few minutes. The children all got to help feed our pet rabbit, Loopy. Loopy was glad to meet our preschool friends! Then everyone came back inside for some free-play time. During this time the children were free to explore all the toys and manipulatives in the classroom, but the main lesson they are working on is sharing and taking turns with playthings.

When playtime was over we cleaned up the classroom and sat down for a story. We read about a little boy named Anthony who was getting ready for church. Then we read the Lord's Prayer. Everybody got to pick out some stickers, and then we said goodbye!

These children are all such a blessing to me, and I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work with them this year!

Looking forward to our next class!!!!

God bless,
Miss Samantha
