Kindergarten Kapers 

Vol. 24

Fit February

Today we had our first nutrition presentation by Mrs. Nea. We learned the importance of “eating a rainbow”, because the colorful foods God created contain healthful phytonutrients. (Think red apples, green broccoli, yellow peppers, purple grapes, et. – not artificial dyes.)  She challenged the children to try to eat a rainbow this week.     

Chinese New Year

Today we celebrated the Chinese New Year by reading about it and trying out our own chopsticks!  See photos below.

New Classmate

Yes, again we are blessed to welcome a new classmate!  Brooke joined our class on Thursday and is fitting right in.  We welcome Brooke and her family with a big Bobcat Welcome!

Open House Sunday

This Sunday, 1-3 PM, bring your friends and/or neighbors to visit Zion and see what makes it a great place to be!

Valentine Party

This Thursday we will celebrate Valentines Day in the classroom, beginning at 2 PM.  All are welcome and help is appreciated.  Half-day students are invited (and encouraged) to return for the party.

Baby Bottles

The Baby Bottle project is sponsored by Lutherans for Life, and will assist couples who wish to adopt.  Our class has an awesome start due to come generous families. The bottle is past full, but we can certainly fill something else!  Our chapel offerings from last week and this week will also go to the Baby Bottle fund.

Sausage Making

Here is a unique way to spend Valentines Day and get to know some fellow Zion members.  Sausage-making takes place in Zion’s fellowship hall on Thursday.  See the Banner for details.

Ash Wednesday

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent.  We will attend chapel with the first through eighth graders, and have the opportunity to have the sign of the cross marked on our foreheads or hands. We will discuss it beforehand, but you may also wish to talk with your kindergartener about it.

Finally . . .

God’s blessings on your weekend as you rest, recreate, and worship. 

                     Yours in Christ,

                     Mrs. Cheryl Lail

Next week’s Memory:

Praise the Lord…who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.
