The word of the day is METAMORPHOSIS! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Every year we order cups of tiny caterpillars for our three-year-old classes and every year I am completely fascinated as we watch them turn into butterflies. This year our caterpillars arrived right before we had to close our school. The teachers have been sending pictures to their classes so they can observe the process. This week the butterflies started to emerge! So now is a perfect time to share one of my very favorite books about metamorphosis, <u>The Caterpillar and the Polliwog</u> by Jack Kent.</div>

<br />
Now, do you want to see our caterpillars and butterflies? Before we got them, our caterpillars hatched from teeny eggs that looked like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When they arrived, our caterpillars were very tiny. You can barely see them in this cup.<br />
<br />

<br />
They ate and ate and grew quickly. Soon they were big and fat. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As they grew, our caterpillars molted several times. They shed their skin so they could keep growing!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
When they were ready to start turning into butterflies, the caterpillars crawled up to the top of the cup and hung upside down. They looked like the letter "J."<br />

They molted one last time and then their skin hardened into a shiny chrysalis to protect the caterpillar while it was changing into a butterfly.<br />

About 10 days later, butterflies started to emerge! Aren't our Painted Ladies beautiful?<br />

Can you see how the patterns on the butterfly's wings are the same, but reversed? This is called a mirror image. Here's a fun craft you can try at home that will demonstrate mirror images.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Fold a piece of paper in half and cut out half of a butterfly shape. When you open up the paper, you will have a whole butterfly.</div>

Now squeeze a few dots of paint onto just one side of your butterfly. Fold it back up and press to smoosh the paint around. When you open it you will see that both halves of your butterfly are identical, but mirrored, just like a real butterfly. </div>

Grab your flashlights and get ready to play with shadows! Stuck-at-Home Storytime presents a fun story about a frog who was very excited that it was spring: The Dark, Dark Night. This story was written by M. Christina Butler. Jane Chapman drew the pictures. (Do you recognize her name? Can you think of another book that we have read that was illustrated by Jane Chapman? I'll tell you at the end of this post!)</div>

I used little woodland creatures, but you can use anything to make a shadow. Even yourself!<br />
<br />
Send me a picture of what YOU did with your flashlight. Have your parent post it on Instagagram and tag @saintandrewspreschoolraleigh. Or post it on our Facebook page - Saint Andrews Presbyterian Preschool. I'd love to see your shadows!<br />

Did you think of an answer to my question? What books have we read that were illustrated by Jane Chapman? Here's the answer:<br />

It's Taco Tuesday! What else would we read but Dragons Love Tacos? I love this funny book. Adam Rubin wrote the words and Daniel Salmieri drew the pictures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Have you ever hosted a party for dragons? No? Well here's a tip if you ever do: Dragons LOVE tacos. Really! All kinds of tacos - big ones, small ones, beef and chicken tacos, even several kinds of tacos you've never even thought of. So, remember, all you have to do when a dragon comes to your party is have plenty of yummy tacos. If you do that one thing, nothing could possibly go wrong... or could it?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now let's read the story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Well that was some fire-breathing fun, wasn't it? And now we know the second thing to remember when you invite dragons over for some tacos - NO spicy salsa!<br />
<br />
Hey, I have an idea! Why don't we make a taco party of our own? Let's gather up some craft supplies. Get things like paper and glue sticks and scissors, paper plates (if you have any), some tissue paper or coffee filters, and definitely some markers. I also found some of those paper shreds that you put in a gift bag. Really anything you have is fine cause we are going to use our imaginations to make these tacos!<br />

Do you think the dragons will like them? Good! Maybe you should open a taco stand next. Dragons will come from all over town to have one of your delicious tacos. Better make an extra batch, just in case the dragons invite their friends.<br />

<br />
Now that you've heard their story, let's go into the backyard to find the characters. See if you can find a stone that looks like a zero, a stick that looks like a one, and a pinecone. While you are hunting, see if you can find anything else that might be another character in this story. Ready? I'll look in my backyard too. Meet me back here when you are finished...<br />
<br />
What did you find? Here's what I saw in my backyard:<br />

I called out a word and asked the children to tell me the opposite of that word, like this:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"In" ..... "</span><span style="font-size: large;">Out"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Black" ..... "White" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Open" ..... "Closed"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Up" ..... "Down"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"Love" ..... "Hate"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So why did we play this game? I explained that opposites are really different from each other, as different as they can be. As we learn more about God, we find that God's ways are sometimes the opposite of what we think.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I told the children we were going to talk about the last set of opposites, Love and Hate.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I held up a picture of a heart and asked, "What do you think of when you see a heart?" Of course, we think of love.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, who do you love? Our parents, our siblings, friends and teachers, grandparents... It's easy to love these people because they love us too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I asked, "Has anyone ever been mean to you, or said something that hurt your feelings? What about people who treat us badly or hurt us? Do we love them?" No, that's hard to do. Should we really be expected to love our enemies?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One day, when Jesus was teaching, He said some things that really surprised his listeners. <i>"You have heard that you should love your neighbors and hate your enemies,"</i> Jesus said. <i>"But I say love your enemies, and if someone does mean and hateful things to you, pray for them."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love our enemies? That seems backwards. It's the opposite of what we want to do. Exactly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then we read a wonderful book called <u>Enemy Pie.</u> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I don't usually read a book cover to cover at Chapel, but this one is worth it. <u>Enemy Pie</u> the story of a boy who was anticipating a perfect summer, only to have his plans ruined by Jeremy Ross - his worst enemy. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The boy's father offered to help him get rid of his problem and his enemy by baking an Enemy Pie, a recipe so secret that none of the ingredients could be revealed. The boy tried to guess what horrible things might be in the pie, but his father wouldn't say. Still, the boy was sure that this magic pie would do unspeakable things to Jeremy Ross, like make his hair fall out or his breath stinky so he waited for the pie to be done.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After the pie (which smelled delicious - a curious thing for a pie that you would feed to an enemy) was baked and cooling, the boy's father revealed that there was one thing the boy had to do in order for the pie to work. He would have to spend the entire day with his enemy, Jeremy Ross. Even worse, he would have to be nice to him! It sounded hard, but the boy decided he would do anything to get rid of his enemy.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, as you might guess, Jeremy Ross wasn't really so bad after all. It turns out that the two boys had more in common than they thought. By lunch, the boy started to think that Jeremy Ross might not be that bad after all. By the time the boy's father had made them macaroni and cheese for dinner, the boy was beginning to think that they should just forget about the Enemy Pie.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjm7gcPPjkooSSad3QLsufirk2v4D84DeOSujFzMAYMQeanpLh3uhiJ4mL78Xo82kMQ0TU7mqRPn_mIej7zw2JKXtWrF-36ggJfT5SHcMtrQMd6N6ZpXDQZ1yagDvvI8zWkKmPyXhf7I00/s1600/IMG-2050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjm7gcPPjkooSSad3QLsufirk2v4D84DeOSujFzMAYMQeanpLh3uhiJ4mL78Xo82kMQ0TU7mqRPn_mIej7zw2JKXtWrF-36ggJfT5SHcMtrQMd6N6ZpXDQZ1yagDvvI8zWkKmPyXhf7I00/s400/IMG-2050.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just as his father sliced and served the pie, the boy shouted out, "Don't eat it!" in an attempt to save Jeremy Ross' life. Clearly, he had changed his mind. But after seeing that his father had eaten his slice of pie and was none the worse for it, the relieved boy enjoy the pie with his new friend.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"As for Enemy Pie," he said, "I still don't know how to make it. I still wonder if enemies really do hate it or if their hair falls out or their breath turns bad. But I don't know if I'll ever get an answer, because I just lost my best enemy."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In case you don't have the recipe for Enemy Pie, Jesus offers another solution. He tells us to love our enemies. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Love our enemies? That seems backwards. It seems like the opposite. If someone hurts us, we want to hurt them back. If someone is mean, we want to say a mean word back to them. But love them? No way!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, it IS hard if we try to do it all by ourselves. But we have a secret weapon inside of us that helps us to love our enemies - Jesus! God loved us so much that he sent Jesus. When we rely on him to do something that's hard, we can do it. And we just might turn an enemy into a friend!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">At
Saint Andrews Preschool, we believe that children should “Learn to Play and Play
to Learn.” Why play? Because play is children’s work! Through play, children develop a real
interest in and love for learning. It’s
the foundation for all future education and for life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

allowing them to have time to be curious, to figure things out for themselves, and
to play with a purpose is an approach to learning that prepares children for
kindergarten and beyond. In fact, researchers
have found that it is the social skills that children learn in preschool that
put them ahead of their peers in many aspects of later achievement. </span><br />

something new is to pretend and play. We

<b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Problem Solving</span></b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> Playing with other children not only develops
social skills but problem solving skills as well. Learning to take turns, to cooperate, and to
compromise are important skills for life.
In addition, play helps children understand cause and effect
relationships and to learn self-help skills. </span></div>

One day, when Noodleman was new in town, he was walking home from
school. Some bigger kids did something very mean. They took his backpack and called him names like “Noodlehead” and “Googly

There is a
story in the Bible that is a lot like Noodleman’s story. It’s called the Parable of the Good
Samaritan. It’s a story that Jesus told
to teach people how to treat each other.
And here’s what he said: “Love
your neighbor as you love yourself.” In
other words, treat others the way you would want them to treat you.</div>

Time to see what the kids were up to! During the week after Thanksgiving, each class visited our "Secret Store" to shop for gifts for their moms and dads. With the help of their teachers, the kids selected and wrapped gifts, and, best of all, wrote notes that said why they selected each item. We hope that the parents had as much fun unwrapping these gifts as the kids did selecting them!<br />

The baby's mom was Mary</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Joseph was his pop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had to make a long, long trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In Bethlehem they stopped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They looked for a room, but there</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Was no place for them to stay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Mary and Joseph spent the night</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In a stable filled with hay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cattle and the horses</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Softly lowed and neighed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While doves and an owl perched high above</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mice rustled in the hay.</div>

Well, not that kind of fishing. This week we talked about fishing for PEOPLE!<br />
<br />
We always sing a fun song before we go into the sanctuary. It reminds us that we are visiting God's house.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>In God's house I always know,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To let my feet fall lightly.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Quietly my steps will go,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'll treat God's house politely.</i></div>

With the help of a few storytelling cards, we heard the story of Jesus calling the first disciples. But to start our chapel time, we talked about what it takes to fish for fish.<br />
<br />

<br />
There are three things you need to be successful at catching fish. First, you need the right equipment. We decided a fishing pole and some worms would do the trick. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Second, you need to go where the fish are. No one has ever caught a fish in their living room watching a fishing show. You have to go to the lake if you want to have a chance at catching a fish.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Finally, and most importantly, you have to be patient. Sometimes you have to wait a long time until you get a fish.</div>

One day Peter and Andrew, James and John, four fishermen, were coming back to shore when they saw Jesus teaching a large crowd of people. The men had fished all night long, but hadn't caught a thing. Jesus asked to use one of their boats so that he could go out into the water and give everyone in the crowd a better chance to see him. </div>

Then Jesus told the fishermen to let down their nets to catch some fish. But they had just fished all night and hadn't caught a thing! The men did what Jesus asked and, suddenly, their nets were so full that it took all four of the fishermen to pull them in. It was a miracle!</div>

Then Jesus told them to put down their nets. He said "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Fishing for people? They had never heard of such a thing! But they did what Jesus asked and learned how to fish for people with him.</div>

God wants us to fish for people too. He wants us to catch them and bring them to Him. But how can we do it?</div>

Fishing for people is a lot like fishing for fish. First, we have to use the right equipment. We need to know the stories about God in the Bible so we can tell them to others. What kind of bait works best for catching people? Not worms! No, if you want to share God's love, hugs work the best!</div>

This week I shared what is in my toolbox - a hammer, a saw and a paintbrush. We talked about the job that each tool does. Then I asked, "Which one is the best?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBT7k484RfSdrmm7HCodLIEsEW45pcCAvjxD8bwICt3f20XnaEPSuoL_tkXHnD6qYrsthuUCCVKDhnZg1YgCKRHTPXz1-MNwVxuW0Npo7WvG9hoOfW77RlodDgi94UrNCzMWnoDa995Vg/s1600/2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="950" data-original-width="1600" height="189" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheBT7k484RfSdrmm7HCodLIEsEW45pcCAvjxD8bwICt3f20XnaEPSuoL_tkXHnD6qYrsthuUCCVKDhnZg1YgCKRHTPXz1-MNwVxuW0Npo7WvG9hoOfW77RlodDgi94UrNCzMWnoDa995Vg/s320/2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I let the children decide. Some choose the saw because it can cut things. Others picked the hammer because it's tough and can bang nails. "But what if I have to paint a wall?" I asked. Oh, well then the paintbrush is the best. "But if I only have a paintbrush, can I saw a piece of wood?" Well, I surely can't use a paintbrush for that job!</div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">Each tool is
designed to do a special job and each one is the best at doing its own

in our toolbox. They are all important!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Then I asked, "What do you
think God has inside his toolbox? A
hammer? A paintbrush?" Nope.

safe. Each one has a different job, but they
all help people. So, which job is the best?<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The children made a few guesses. But then we figured out that the people in God's toolbox are like the tools in my toolbox. Just like the hammer, saw and paintbrush, each one is important. Each one is the best at doing his or her own job. We need all of these people because they are all important.</span><br />

It might be
hard to do this while we are young, but as we get older we will find ways to

Every December we make the trip to the North Pole, but this year our journey was made even more magical thanks to a gift from <a href="http://www.angusbarn.com/" target="_blank">The Angus Barn</a>. They gave us the life-size wooden train that they have used for many seasons as part of their Christmas decorations. It was the perfect addition to our Storytime Room along with some snowflakes and Christmas trees and a few snow-capped mountains. The magic was real!</div>

The captivating story begins on Christmas Eve. A skeptical young boys lies in bed waiting to hear the sound of Santa's sleigh after being told that Santa isn't real. He needs proof that his friend is wrong. Instead of sleigh bells, he hears train whistles as an old-fashioned locomotive, The Polar Express, pulls up in front of his house. The boy hops on board and rides to the North Pole with other pajama-clad children, visits with Santa Claus in person and is chosen to receive the first gift of Christmas. </div>

Knowing that he can have anything imaginable, the boy chooses one silver bell from Santa's sleigh. Santa cuts a bell from a reindeer's harness and the delighted boy tucks it into the pocket of his bathrobe as the clock strikes midnight and the sleigh climbs into the air and disappears. Santa is off to work and the children get back on the Polar Express.</div>

Pat Bickel and Ellen Smearman were both teaching at Hudson Memorial Preschool when they decided to open a new preschool in North Raleigh. In September 1984, the doors opened at Saint Andrews. <br />

Our building has grown over the past 30 years. When the new sanctuary was built, we turned the original fellowship hall into three new classrooms. We enlarged the playgrounds and expanded our program. Fashions and hairstyles have changed, but the smiles on the children's faces remain the same. Saint Andrews Preschool is a great place to be!<br />

This Under the Sea trunk was already wet. Good thing! Because Mother Nature provided a big old Halloween trick in the form of an untimely rain shower just as the party was getting started! But that didn't end the fun. We just moved it inside and kept on going.<br />

We were a little soggy, but it was still a lot of fun. Many thanks to all of the preschool families who decorated trunks and wore their costumes, and even stayed after the rain started!Marj Jenkinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10649339041319675454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120322384427355899.post-9814217917088154752014-10-20T11:58:00.000-04:002014-10-22T06:48:27.076-04:00Apples and Pumpkins: A Harvest Storytime<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After just one storytime, the kids were really good at remembering the signs for the Hello Song. We know the signs for "hello," "friends," and "goodbye."</div>

And then it was on to the stories. This storytime was all about harvest and we read three books about picking apples and pumpkins and funny barnyard friends.<br />

The Apple Pie Tree was a lot of fun to read. Not only did we learn about apple trees, we got to keep track of Mr. and Mrs. Robin as they made a nest and raised their babies in the tree while the apples grew.</div>

Amazing! That's $481.50 worth of those little coupons and all of that money goes towards special programs and field trips for our kids. This is just the first submission of the year. We will have several more so keep clipping!</div>

I just finished bundling up all the BoxTops we have collected so far this year and I am ready to send them off. Know how many there are? <br />
<br />
Leave a comment on this post with your guess. I'll reveal the total on Monday morning and the person whose guess is closest to the exact number will win five extra points for their child's class in the BoxTops Pizza Party contest.<br />

Trunk or Treat 2014 is just around the corner. Two weeks from today we'll be having fun out in the front circle, playing games, visiting decorated trunks and getting a little candy. Do you have your costume ready? I do!<br />
<br />
If you missed it last year, here are a few pictures to get you excited about all the fun to come. The preschool hosted a Candyland themed trunk.<br />

Unfortunately we didn't have time to read all of my favorite counting stories. But here are a few terrific titles that you can read at home. Let me know if you have any other favorite books with numbers and maybe we can include them next time. Happy reading and counting!</div>
