What we've been up to!

We are getting ready to say goodbye to our friends leaving for Kindergarten! But while we are sad to see them go we have made lots of amazing memories.

In April we planted a garden of blue pinwheels to show our support. The blue pinwheel, introduced by Prevent Child Abuse America in 2008, is the national symbol for child abuse prevention. It represents the joy and playfulness of childhood. We spoke about how all children deserve to be safe!

We had lots of fun growing our minds and bodies with Coach Bill. He teaches us how to be healthy in mind and body with age appropriate yoga and exercise!

We watched our caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies and then released them in our garden. And have been watching our strawberries grow from seedlings to full-grown plants.

We also said goodbye to one of our longtime teachers, Ms. Maureen, who retired after working in our infant room for over 20 years.

Butterfly release!

The butterflies were out of their cocoons and it was such a beautiful day out that we decided it was the perfect time to release them to make their way in the world.

The preschool class has been learning all about lifecycles and how creatures change throughout their lives. Even humans change from infants to children and then to adults!

The Great Utah ShakeOut 2024!

We practiced our earthquake safety and emergency preparedness today by participating in the Great Utah ShakeOut. We dropped, covered, and held on during the drill and made sure that our emergency supplies were up to up to date.

Summer is off to an amazing start!

We’ve started this summer off with a blast! Between our family picnic, water play days, and getting introduced to some neat animals by Scales and Tails we’ve really started this summer off right!

April Is National Child Abuse Prevention Month

For National Child Abuse Prevention Month we planted a blue pinwheel garden. National Child Abuse Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.

What's Been Happening!

It’s been a while since we’ve posted a blog but we have been keeping busy! Winter is almost over and spring is approaching, although the groundhog had something to say about that.

We had a wonderful turnout for our Anual Family Picnic and our Winter Gathering, we marched around the block for our spooky Halloween Parade, our ugly sweaters were on point this year, and we are getting excited for our upcoming Art Gallery!

We can’t wait to see what exciting things this year is going to bring.

Here are some pics from our Ugly Sweater Contest!

Some of the fun times we’ve had.

Starting a New School Year

We know it’s been a while but after all of the craziness of the last year, we are back in full swing and ready to start off the new school year! We had an exciting summer full of learning, art, and adventures. We got to meet some radical reptiles and had fun learning how our bodies move and grow.

Now it’s time to get back into our academic school year, explore our classrooms, and meet new classmates.,

Enjoying the Winter Wonderland

St. Paul’s Preschool has been enjoying the cold and snow! We have been going on chilly nature walks and building snowmen. We have learned a lot about freezing climates, winter habitats, and snowy science! We had fun family gatherings and took some selfies with Santa! Here are some photos of our winter wanderings.

Summer is Ending

We had a phenomenal summer going outside, enjoying the fresh air and playing in the water. We did field trips to Wheeler Farm, Liberty Park, and Discover Gateway Museum. We learned a lot about nature, science, and playing together. See some of the photos from our summertime adventures!

A Visit From the Easter Bunny

Look who came to visit!

On Thursday we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt out on the front lawn of the church. We were blessed with a beautiful day with wonderful weather. The children had a great time hunting for eggs on the lawn, especially the little bunnies and turtles!

Plus, we had a special visitor show up! The kids were excited to see the Easter Bunny make an appearance, and only a couple were scared! We had several parents make it out to watch their kids in the egg hunt as well. A thank you to Miss Rhonda, Miss Shannon, and everyone else who put on the event!
