Chapel in January

"The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid" Hebrews 13:6
The children will hear about Jesus growing up, learning in the temple, and being baptized. Ms. Sally, Pastor Marsha, Ms. Pam and Ms. Suzanne are chapel leaders this month. We thank them for volunteering their time to teach us about God's word.


A Note from Ms Katherine

This month in music we are learning the concept of dynamics and duration. Students will produce sounds that are loud, soft, long or short. Students are also working on interpreting music by moving appropriately to the tempo intensity and rhythm. Example songs include Grizzly Bear, Once there was a Snowman and Walking around the Circle. 

The movement lessons this month are focusing on balance and coordination. The students will run through obstacle courses that include various physical motions (crawling, hopping, walking backwards, etc.)  Also this month we will play games where students must imitate various positions and single actions of another. Examples of games are Follow the Leader and Simon Says.

GSLC is holding multi-sensory, participatory worship services designed for young children of all abilities and open to everyone. Pizza dinner starts at 5:15. The service is from 5:30 - 6:00pm. The next one is Wednesday is January 31.

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.
