Ms. Gunther's Pre-K 4 Page

Welcome to 1/2 Day and Full Day Pre-K 4 with Ms. Gunther! I'm so excited to be with you this year as you continue to learn and grow. In preschool we work hard, though our form of work might look like play to everyone else. While we play, we are working on our social/ emotional development, language, math, science, social studies, and religion! Along with playing, we also spend time creating with paints, crayons, markers, paper, and glue. Playing is hard work in preschool!

If you are looking at this blog from a phone please scroll all the way to the bottom to access the different pages.

Cheer Pins for Student Council

This week Student Council was/is selling cheer pins to raise money for Student Council to do/host fun events for the school in the future. Each pin is .50¢, and this past Monday, I took our full day students down to the cafeteria and gave each child a dollar so they could purchase 2 pins, and what they chose to do with those pins was up to them, keep them, give them away to someone else, or make a trade.

Today, Monday, April 14th the full day class got to see the 8th graders Living Stations dress rehearsal. We exhibited great church manners and were very proud of the 8th graders!

Movie Theater Day Collection of Photos

Today (Monday, April 7th) in your child's folder is our Movie Theater Day flyer! Attached to the flyer is a form we would like you to fill out and return by 4/9. If your child won't be here on 4/11 that's okay, still fill it out and we will make a little goodie bag for them so it's like they were there with us!
