The MWF morning Preschool children had their Christmas party this morning in their classroom. The following photos were taken of the fun event. For an enlarged view click on the photo.
They did lots of different activities:
One of the activities was that the class sat in a circle and passed around a Santa hat while Christmas music was playing in the background. Whoever had the hat when the music stopped got to keep the present inside of it. All of the children received a fun gift while playing this game.
Another one of the games played was: The children took turns being blindfolded, while one at a time, the other classmates took turns saying ”Ho, Ho, Ho, Merry Christmas” in funny voices. The child blindfolded had to guess which classmate said it. Lots of laughs during this game.
All the children loved sitting at their tables and making Santa Hats.
Another game played was: Santa, Santa, Reindeer (the same as Duck, Duck, Goose)
The party ended with juice, cheese and crackers.
The kids had a fun morning.
Parent helpers included: Tisha Hermesch, Julie Sudbeck, Jesse Macke, Dana Deters, Erik Ganstrom and Briana Uphaus.

Taken from the October Trojan Tribune Newsletter:
The Monday, Wednesday, Friday preschool class has been very busy. On Wednesday morning they get to do Promethean activities with Mrs. Haverkamp. Also they have P.E., library, and music once a week, which they have been very excited to participate in these activities. Soon they will begin going to Catechesis once a week. Every week they have a new letter, number, shape, and color to learn. Also they try to do projects every day. The Tuesday and Thursday class has been busy learning social skills. They have been learning about fall and the changes to winter. Everyday they try to read two stories. Their goals for this year are to learn the alphabet, all the numbers up to 20, the basic shapes, and the love of God. By Kacie Steinlage
