St. Matthew Lutheran Preschool

St. Matthew Lutheran Preschool Welcome to St. Matthew Lutheran Preschool where we place a high value on your child's Early Childhood experiences. At St.

Our Mission Statement: "Together in Christ... learning, growing, serving." A creative and engaging Early Childhood experience built on the foundation of Jesus! Matthew Lutheran Preschool, we believe that young minds are extremely impressionable and able to learn great things. That is why we place a strong value on our Preschool program, where we can begin to lay the educational building blocks of

a child's emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual experiences and initiate the path to becoming a life long learner and follower of Jesus. We believe that faith development can begin at a very early age, so St. Matthew Lutheran Preschool is designed to help support parents in nurturing their child's relationship with Jesus. Through age appropriate activities, our three and four year olds learn about God and His amazing love for each of us. Included in this Preschool experience are the fundamental educational building blocks. Necesary early literacy and math skills are instructed by using curricula such as "Zoo Phonics" and "Handwriting Without Tears." Social experiences are also an important part of the Preschool experience. Through intentional and organized activities, as well as play, young children are given opportunities to formulate appropriate interactions and peer relationships. Most importantly, a loving classroom environment creates a sense of security and stimulates young learners. Philosophy:
Our preschool day is a mix of student led, play based, and teacher directed lessons and activities. We infuse movement throughout the day and take a child’s attention span into consideration as well. The play based philosophy allows children the freedom to have fun while discovering their world and interests, which empowers the student to become a more self-aware, happy, confident, and independent individual with an appreciation for and love of learning as well as a love for Jesus. Learning through play and experiences promotes and enhances the development of creativity, communication, collaboration, and critical thinking skills. The play based classroom incorporates different areas throughout such as blocks, house, science, art, writing, sensory, dramatic play, math, language/literacy, puppets, STEAM, and manipulative centers. Throughout the entire day, Jesus and His love is incorporated into all possible areas of learning.

Preschool learned the importance of sharing Jesus Love with others and how we are to serve others and live like Jesus. They washed each others feet just like Jesus washed his disciples feet before the last supper. 🥰

Preschool had a fun time celebrating St.Patrick’s Day! We made leprechaun traps, painted rainbows using cars, and painted shamrocks. Then the sneaky leprechaun came and messed our room up! He left us a job to do before we could get the “Pot of gold”. We had to match upper and lowercase letters as well as find the pictures with the beginning sounds. We learned some facts about Ireland and listened to some Irish music too! 🎉😃

Yesterday was a “ Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” day! The class dressed in their rain gear.
We read the book then made homemade sauce and meatballs!

Cooking incorporates a multitude of learning opportunities such as literacy, math and science.

We also talked about rain and rainbows. The class had a chance to make rain using water,shaving cream and droppers and to paint rainbows.

They also cut string to make it look like noodles to help with our door decorations contest!

The kids enjoyed eating their spaghetti and meatballs for afternoon snack! (Don’t worry, I boiled the noodles at my house where I was not under the water advisory)

Due to the water main break on 14 Mile Road yesterday - Good News! The water has returned to the St. Matthew Walled Lake Campus! However, the bad news - we are under a boil water advisory for at least the next 48 hours.
As a result: There will be NO hot lunch offered tomorrow. All students must bring their own lunch to school.
Also, all students are asked to bring bottled water for the entire day. (We will have extra for those who may run out.)

Today was Green Eggs & Ham Day! We read the book, mixed blue and green playdoh, and practiced flipping our cookies with spatulas. We also painted with yellow and blue paint; and made rhyming word plates.
Each preschool student brought in a green food for class to taste test. We graphed each food and tallied which food we liked the most and which one we liked the least. At the end of the day we made creations using pool noodles and green cups! It was such a fun day in preschool!! 🥳🥰

Today preschoolers enjoyed Fox in Socks Day! 🤩 We also measured our feet with Unifix cubes, worked on fine motor skills by hanging socks with clothespins, building with cups, and played a fun Dr. Suess memory game. We used a lot of our own imagination as well by creating our own socks! Such a fun day! 😃
