Sacred Heart Catholic School Pre-K Blog

This Advent/Christmas season was most definitely the busiest and happiest time of the year! We had SO MUCH going on and the kids and I were loving each and day. The pictures below are just a little sneak peak of all we did! First, we started off the Advent season by being the youngest, and I must say most talented singers at the Advent Program on Dec. 3rd ;) The kids really learned what they were singing "Stay awake, be ready!" and were as ready as 4 year olds could be for Jesus' coming! We were also honored by being asked to pray with the Elijah Cup one day, which is chalice that the Parish passes around to families to pray for an increase in vocations to the Religious Life, there would be no Mass and Sacraments without Priests! Let's continue to keep then in your prayers. Sometime in December Santa stopped by briefly for a "quick check" on the kids, they were behaving just great and got a few treats from him. Saint Nicholas was also really good to the kids! On his feast day when the kids woke up from nap they had candy left in their shoes!! During Advent, the preschoolers asked to go to the prayer table and pray more than usual, so that was a nice surprise! I think they also enjoyed looking at the little Nativity that was placed on the table :) The weather was so nice we made it out to the playground a couple of times, this is by far the kids FAVORITE thing to do! They love it and are strengthening their gross motor skills and muscles without even noticing it! We began to get ready for the Winter season by watching "The Polar Express" Snow was falling from the classroom ceiling and it all of a sudden got very cold!!! The kids had to bundle up up their warmest winter gear and liked sipping on their hot chocolate! Last, we celebrated Baby Jesus' Birthday on our last day of school. We had a pizza party and cupcakes!! It was so nice to enjoy every one's company. This day we also opened up the Secret Santa gifts, the kids had a great time guessing who was their "Secret Santa" THANK YOU AGAIN to all of you for bringing in a gift for a child and for the incredible moms that donated towards Polar Express Day (Mrs. Herdel) and towards our Christmas celebration (Mrs. Brandt, Mrs. Branch, Ms. Medford, and Mrs. Werner) We couldn't have done it without you!!!
