Junior Kindergarten
January 2026
Dear Parents:
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2026 bring health and happiness!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies for the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 73 packages of cookies to send home with the backpack recipients to enjoy over the Christmas holiday season. The counselors at the school were overwhelmed!
Our theme this month is Discovering the Senses and My Body. The children will gain an understanding of the five senses, and how we use them to learn about the world around us. They will learn about disability awareness as they discover what their bodies can do. Other topics this month will include body part identification, a review of shapes, an introduction to three dimensional shapes, (sphere, cube, cylinder, and pyramid) winter, opposites, numbers 11, 12, and 13, and Martin Luther King Jr. We will be covering letters M, N, and O, and be introduced to sight words in, out, on, off, and of.
Our memory Bible verse for January is As for God, His way is perfect. Psalm 18:30. Our Bible stories will include Young Samuel Listens to God’s Voice and Joseph’s Colorful Coat. The children will learn that God wants us to forgive others as He forgives us.
Mitten day will be on January 15th for letter M. Please bring in a pair of mittens. The children will be doing a variety of activities with their mittens during the day.
Neon day will be on January 21st for letter N. Please wear neon clothes or accessories.
We will celebrate Opposite Day on January 28th. The children will have fun wearing their clothes the opposite way. Wear one long sock and one short sock. Wear one pant leg rolled up and the other one down. Try wearing your shirt backwards or inside out. Have fun and be creative!
Need an indoor idea when the weather is not great outside then try a 3-Dimenesional Shape Hunt. The children will be learning sphere, cube, cone, pyramid, and cylinder this month in class. Give the name of one of the shapes and have your child go hunt through the house for something in that shape and bring it to you.
Over the next couple months, the teachers will be gathering and recording information regarding your child’s growth and development. This information will be shared with you in March during parent/teacher conferences. There are several skills and concepts that we would like for your child to work towards mastering before entering kindergarten. We will be sending a note with more information home.
Here are the words to a fun music and movement activity.
Peace Around the World
Tune - Ring Around the Rosy
Peace around the world,
Our hearts are full of kindness.
Caring, caring,
We all jump for joy!

Our theme this month is The Five Senses and Disability Awareness. The children will gain an understanding of the five senses, and how we use them to learn about the world around us. They will discover that people with disabilities may rely more upon the senses they have and are able to adapt to their environment with the help of special equipment and sometimes trained animals. Other topics this month will include body part identification; a review of shapes; an introduction to three dimensional shapes (sphere, cube, cylinder, and pyramid); numbers 6, 7, and 8; winter; opposites; and Martin Luther King Jr. We will be covering letters M, N, and O.
Our memory Bible verse for January is As for God, His way is perfect. Psalm 18:30 Our Bible stories will include Young Samuel Listens to God’s Voice and Joseph’s Colorful Coat. The children will learn that God wants us to forgive others as He forgives us.
Mitten Day is January 16th for the letter M. Please bring mittens to school. The children will be doing special activities throughout the school day with our mittens.
Neon Day is January 21st for the letter N. Wear neon colored clothing and any accessories that are neon to school.
We will celebrate Opposite Day on Wednesday, January 28. The children will have fun wearing their clothes the opposite way. Wear one long sock and one short sock. Wear one pant leg rolled up and the other one down. Try wearing your shirt backwards or inside out. Have fun and be creative!

First Year Preschool
January 2026
Dear Parents,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2026 bring you all health and happiness!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies for the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 73 packages of cookies to send home with the backpack recipients to enjoy over the Christmas holiday season. The school counselors were overwhelmed with the generous donations.
Our theme this month is Artful Expression – The Creative Spirit. The children will enjoy exploring and creating with a variety of different media. Your refrigerator will be beautifully decorated. Other topics this month will include a review of the basic four shapes (circle, square, rectangle, and triangle) and an introduction to additional shapes (rhombus, oval, heart, star, and octagon); the winter season; cold weather animals; hibernation; and migration.
Our memory Bible verse for January is As for God, His way is perfect. Psalm 18:30. Our Bible stories will include Joseph’s Colorful Coat and David Praises God with Psalms. The children will discover that God forgives us for our mistakes and can bring peace to our hearts.
Hat Day will be January 15th. Wear your favorite hat to school.
On January 29th we will be having Hibernation Day and each child can bring in a stuffed bear for the day.
Stuck inside, then build a fort indoors. Have a special story time in the fort or a picnic lunch or snack. Also, just let your child take some toys inside the fort to play with. Another idea is to do an indoor obstacle course. Use blankets, pillows, toys, etc. and make an obstacle course for your child to complete.
Our teachers will be evaluating and recording information regarding your child’s growth and development over the next few months. This information will be shared with you in April. Some of the skills and concepts that we would like your child to work towards mastering are knowledge of personal information (Your child should be able to state his/her full name, age, birthday, gender,
and parents’ full names.), color recognition, basic shape recognition, number recognition 0-10, rote counting from 1-20, reciting the alphabet, appropriate pencil grasp and scissor usage. Please work on these skills and concepts at home.
Here are the words to a fun music and movement activity.

Dear Parents,
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas break. May 2026 bring you all health and happiness!
I would like to thank all of you that donated cookies for the Operation Backpack Program. We collected 73 packages of cookies to send home with the backpack recipients to enjoy over the Christmas holiday season. The school counselors were overwhelmed with the generous donations.
In January we will be learning about how God Loves Us. Our memory verse for the month is I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works! Psalm 139:14. We will also be working on the color blue, shape circle, and our names.
The week of January 13-15 will be penguin week. Please dress in black and white or penguins. Then the week of January 27-29 will be polar/teddy bear week. Please wear white or fuzzy clothes. Also, feel free to bring in a stuffed bear.
Stuck inside due to the weather then here are a couple quick and easy ideas to do with your children. First, have a dance party with your child, all you need is some music. Second, do an indoor obstacle course. Use tape to create lines or shapes on the floor for them to follow. Once they have that down add some household items like pillows for "stepping stones," blankets over chairs for tunnels, soft balls/bean bags for tossing into laundry baskets, and incorporate winter themes like "penguin waddle" walks for balance.
