October 31 will be a Thursday at GSLP

October 31 was originally a day off for GSLP and Wake County. Because of Hurricane Florence, we missed school on Thursday, September 13. (We made up Friday, September 14 on September 19). To "clear the slate" before winter, we are going to go ahead and make up September 13. That means that only the children who normally come to preschool on THURSDAY will come to school on October 31. The children who normally have school on a Wednesday will NOT come to school. No school on October 31 for the following classes: Ms Patty, Ms Addie, Ms Heather, Ms Yvette, Ms Arleen. If you missed school on Thursday, September 13, you should bring your child to school on October 31.

A special invitation to worship with GSLC on October 14. It's Preschool Sunday! Come to the 10:45 am worship service. Preschool children will be invited to the front to lead worship in the form of a choir. They will sing two songs they have been practicing with Ms Katherine. They will sit with you during the church service, usually about an hour.

DOT DAY We celebrated Dot Day on Monday, September 17. Many classes read the book, The Dot, by Peter H. Reynolds. Artwork beginning with just a simple dot is displayed on the bulletin board by Ms Julia's classroom.

2018-2019 GSLP Staff We are so thankful for these willing ladies who are part of our Preschool Family. They are dedicated to your children this year and want to provide the best classroom experiences possible. Be sure to wish them well!

Chapel in September "God Made the World and Everything in it"    Acts 17:24 The children are learning that God made them all unique and special. He loves and knows each one of us. The Bible stories this month include Creation and Noah's ark. Pastor Tim, Pastor Marsha, Mr Andrew, and Mr John were chapel leaders this month.

Need help getting paint stains out? We try to be careful but sometimes we are messy with our art. Are you having trouble getting paint out of your child's clothing? One mom had success with a product called CARBONA. Get the one specifically for ink, marker and crayon. It works on paint. It's in the grocery store with the laundry products.

Please re-link your grocery card to GSLP's number every school year. Each time you shop, the preschool benefits and it adds up. We effortlessly earned over $500 from Harris Teeter last year. More than one school can be linked at a time. We thank you for linking your card.

The mission of GSLP is to provide a Christ-centered early childhood preschool through faith-based education and service in a nurturing inclusive environment.

The Educational Philosophy of Good Shepherd Lutheran Preschool The focus of the preschool is to meet children’s needs and stimulate learning in these developmental areas:   *Physical    *Emotional/ Social    *Spiritual    *Cognitive        *Music/Art To nurture these areas the Preschool’s objectives are to:  Integrate Christian faith formation throughout the curriculum.                Develop a cooperative/supportive relationship between the child, the family and the preschool. Provide developmentally appropriate activities.                Teach children about their relationship with God and all people in the world.                Provide tools for assessment of students’ progress. Our teachers relate education to the child’s understanding about God and Christian life so that the spiritual and developmental aspects of the curriculum become a foundation for a lifelong faith.
