The children at Noah’s Ark Preschool made stained glass windows with wax paper and tissue paper for Easter. They turned out beautiful!
In March, the children shared a story called, “Pickle Things” by Mark Brown ,with their families. It is a very silly story! We celebrated a special pickle day. We tasted sweet bread and butter pickles and sour dill pickles. The children voted for their favorite pickle. We also painted on a giant pickle shape. Pickle Day was very fun!

On Sunday January 20th Noah’s Ark Preschool celebrated their 30th year Anniversary.
In between services individuals enjoyed doughnuts, juice, coffee, and good conversation.
At the 11:00 service 47 children sang three songs. One song was a Noah’s Ark song called, “Two by Two”. The children made animal masks, clouds and raindrops and a handprint rainbow. After the service, families, children and church members gathered in the Living Faith Center for cake, punch, and cookies. We had a CD of photographs through the years set to music. It was a wonderful celebration.
Thank you for your continued support!

May News
In April, the 4 and 5 year old children went on a walking field trip to Butt’s Florist. We saw many beautiful colors of flowers. We learned what plants and flowers need to grow.
Each type of flower has it’s own name. Every child and adult received a carnation to take home. It was a good learning experience.
When we returned to the classroom the teachers set up a florist shop with soil, tools for gardening and a seed sorting station. The children could design their own bouquet of silk flowers in styrofoam.
It was a fun extension to our field trip.
