First Lutheran Pre-K

Dear Parents,
FLS Pre-K has enjoyed a very busy and productive first few days of school! We are working hard to learn classroom routines and rules (which keep us happy and safe). Our focus is on God and His deep love for each of us. Your children are champions, and I am blessed to be their teacher. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. We are here to serve you and provide the best possible learning environment for your child.

Thank you for the generous donations of supplies!

We also enjoy seeing Pastor Miller at chapel on Wednesdays! I value the love and care these people bring to our classroom.

*Communication folders- go home at the end of the week brimming with our newsletter and other important papers. Please return the folder on Monday. Your child may put the folder on my desk.

*Water bottles – sent home daily to be cleaned and returned.

Little Helpers will assist (safely) chopping up apples to be cooked in a crock pot. Our room will smell delicious, and we will all look forward to eating our delicious applesauce!

Dean plans to do some building for his cars on top of the hopscotch.  Thinking and designing are ways that children learn and grow during play.  I enjoy watching their creativity in action!

Colter plays with plastic animals and makes homes for them in the barn.  I think there may have been a snake involved!

With A Thankful Heart,
Miss Lori
