First of all, a HUGE thank you to all who helped out and came to the Art Show and Silent Auction! We made around $1500 for the preschool!!! Many, many, many thanks!
I am home sick with some type of flu and have been sleeping most of the day, so here is the short of it! We'll be working with pizzas in our last week on restaurants. Maybe you could make a homemade pizza at home this week with your preschooler! Worship time will be with our Lenten devotional like the one that went home.
Make sure to sign up for a conference time! Conferences are next week and preschool will not be in session. The sign up sheet is by the sign in/out binder.
Concordia Lutheran Church has Lenten soup suppers and worship each Wednesday night during Lent. You are invited to come with your family! This week will be Chicken Noodle soup, with dinner at 6pm and worship at 7pm.

Getting Ready!
We were getting ready for the Art Show today! Self Portraits were drawn, and apron was made and artwork was named. I really enjoyed hearing the names that your children chose for each piece of artwork they had!
Chapel with Pastor Dudley was an all time favorite. Ask your preschooler about it and what temptation is all about. We also received the sign of the cross on our forehead in ashes to remember Ash Wednesday.
Enjoy your windy afternoon!

Self Portraits
Today we took a close look at ourselves in the mirror and drew our very own self portraits! These will be framed and on display at the Art Show. Impressive work!
We also did some work with Oodles on Noodles. We laced noodles, turned noodles into worms at the end of a fishing line, went fishing with our bait and counted seashell noodles and picked them up with tongs. Love those noodles!
Worship time included prayers and introducing our Jerusalem scene for the season of Lent. One of these scenes was also sent home with you to enjoy at home with your family. It is a lot like our Advent sticker devotions. I hope you are able to use it at home.

A Fun Week Ahead!
REMINDER... NO PRESCHOOL ON MONDAY THE 20th.
This is
going to be a very fun week as we prepare for the upcoming Art Show and Silent Auction
that will be held on Friday night 6-7:30pm.
The preschoolers will be naming each piece of their art, creating self-portraits
and making a class item for the silent auction!
We will also be having some fun with Oodles of Noodles.
Our worship time
will focus on prayer. This week marks
the beginning of the season of the church year that is Lent. Ash Wednesday service will be held on
Wednesday at 7pm here at Concordia Lutheran Church if you would like to join us
that evening.
Many
thanks for coming to The Heart café last week. We had a great time and hope you did
too!
As stated
before, this Friday is our Art Show and Silent Auction. I can use volunteers all week long to help
finish up framing the art and getting each piece of artwork named. If you have a few extra minutes, let me
know! Also, we still need a few
volunteers for the mornings of Thursday and Friday to get everything set up for
the big event.
Please plan
on attending this fun event with your preschooler. Invite friends and family to come along
too! This is a fun opportunity to dress
up for the evening! All money raised
goes directly to the preschool to help enrich and enhance our program.

Happy Valentine's Day!
The last two days have been a tremendous amount of fun! Thanks to everyone who came to The Heart Cafe and special thanks to our kitchen workers Ken, Karen, Trish and Pastor Dudley... they did a wonderful job!
We celebrated Valentine's in several other ways as well. We graphed boxes of conversation hearts to find out how many of each color were in our own box. We sorted them into colors first and then glued them onto our graph. Fun, fun, fun! We also made Valentine headbands and went on a search upstairs in the sanctuary for our Valentine's for Jesus!
The Art Show and Silent Auction are coming up next week! We still need some volunteer help for set up next Thursday and Friday if you are able to help us out. We could use a few more auction items too. We are really excited for this fun event, so please plan on attending. Invite your family and friends too!

When you come to preschool on Monday and Tuesday, you will be coming to our lovely restaurant for a delicious, full breakfast! You will be asked to wait to be seated and one of our lovely waitresses, Scarlet and Blush, will seat you. Menus will be given and orders taken. While you wait for your hot breakfast, you can step over to the Valentine Station to help your preschooler deliver his/her Valentines! We hope you enjoy a pleasant breakfast at The Heart Cafe! After breakfast, preschool will continue with some fun Valentine activities.
The rest of the week will continue our journey into the world of restaurants. Our worship time will include a parable about a big feast! More Bible memory songs are on their way this week too.

Preschool will not be in session this week, but you can bring your preschooler during your conference time to have one-on-one time with Mrs. Barrington. Conferences are 20 minutes long. I will do my best to keep on schedule!
We are busy with preparations for our youthful Expressions Art Show and Silent Auction! This is an opportunity to get fancy and come for an evening of art, food and fun.

Watercolor Hearts
I'll start with the end of our morning... we had Art with Miss Holly and made some beautiful heart watercolors. These will be part of our art show! They are quite impressive.
Today we finished up our Valentine mailboxes for use next week. We also did some dot painting, play dough sculpting, peg board pegging and sensory table sifting.
Our worship time was full of singing and working with our Godly Play stories. It is delightful to watch the preschoolers work with each story!
Don't forget The Heart Cafe next week! We are looking forward to this super fun event! Also, we still have room on the sign up sheets for volunteer help for the Art Show and Silent Auction. We also could use a few more silent auction items if you know of anyone or anyplace that might be willing to donate something for our benefit.
