Ms. Gunther's Pre-K 4 Page

Welcome to ½ Day and Full Day Pre-K 4 with Ms. Gunther! I’m so excited to be with you this year as you continue to learn, explore, and grow.

In preschool, we work hard—although our work might look a lot like play to everyone else! Through purposeful play, we build important skills in social-emotional development, language and literacy, math, science, social studies, and religion. We learn how to share, problem-solve, communicate, make friends, ask questions, explore new ideas, and become more independent each day.

We also spend plenty of time creating and expressing ourselves with paint, crayons, markers, paper, glue, and so much more. Every block we build, picture we create, story we tell, and game we play is an opportunity to learn something new.

Playing is important work in Pre-K—and we can’t wait to get started! 💙🐾

Cheer Pins for Student Council

This week Student Council was/is selling cheer pins to raise money for Student Council to do/host fun events for the school in the future. Each pin is .50¢, and this past Monday, I took our full day students down to the cafeteria and gave each child a dollar so they could purchase 2 pins, and what they chose to do with those pins was up to them, keep them, give them away to someone else, or make a trade.
Today, Monday, April 14th the full day class got to see the 8th graders Living Stations dress rehearsal. We exhibited great church manners and were very proud of the 8th graders!
