January Music!

 January Music- by Miss Kathleen

What a wonderful start to our new year! This month we all read and sang along to There Was An Cold Lady Who Swallowed Some Snow, and  There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Frog.

 

I switched some of the words from the chorus sections so the kids can sing along and do some motions.  For the Cold Lady and the Snow, we call her an old lady rather than a cold lady, and for the Old Lady and the Frog, it's "I don't know why she swallowed that frog...She's really a hog!" Of course, then all get to oink like piggies!

On the day we read and sang the Old Lady and the Frog, we also read the pop-up book Wide-Mouth Frog and sang along. We called him a bullfrog and used a really deep voice for him. Here's a version that substitutes eating bugs for flies, but the kids will recognize it: https://youtu.be/f77AslbcPKg .

We also spent some time singing our January Bible story song about Daniel in the Lions' Den. We just sang this chorus, but you can find the whole song at https://youtu.be/1_d_eLGamLY .

An angel came down to shut the lion's jaw

This big and scary lion couldn't even roar.

God sent an angel to shut the lion's jaw

He couldn't even roar.

And Daniel gave thanks like never before

We also sang some pajama day songs. We read the pop-up book Bedtime Bugs and sang “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” and “Rock-a-bye Buggies” (instead of “Rock-a-bye Baby:!) We sang and danced to “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed” and then pretended to put our pajamas on while we chanted “What time is it? Pajama Time!” until we got tired.

Registration is OPEN for 2021-22!

 

December at WIPP

 December was a busy short month here at WIPP! Our students learned all about the true meaning of Christmas, made lots of crafts, sang lots of songs, played with friends and continued to learn and grow together. The excitement in the building grew day by day as we got closer to Christmas, and the joy of candy cane hunts, present creation, holiday games and parties could be seen in every corner of our school.

Registration for next year will begin soon after we get back from break, so make sure to check the children's backpacks for paperwork when we return to class in January. Registration will begin with our current families and people on the waitlist first, at the beginning of the month, and open up to the general public on January 22. You can access forms on this page under the headings to the right. If you have any questions, please email Miss Heather or call the office between 9:15 and 11:30 daily.

Here are few highlights from our December fun:

Happy Thanksgiving!

 We hope all of our families have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family! School will be closed the entire week of Nov. 23, and classes will resume on Monday, November 30. While we missed seeing all our parents at our usual Thanksgiving program (cancelled this year due to the pandemic 😢), you can see the classes each singing some Thanksgiving songs on the school FB page at https://www.facebook.com/Wilmington-Island-Presbyterian-Preschool-114418748628324 

I'll be adding FB videos up to Thanksgiving, so check back and see what we are singing throughout the week off.

Here are some fun moments from November at WIPP:
