St Mark's Preschool, St Charles, IL

Our pollinator garden is in full bloom and the bees are happy!

Today in VBS we learned about Lydia and her purple cloths and how she invited people to learn and pray together….like a church! Look at the churches we built!

Today's Bible lesson was about Jesus and the empty tomb....

Day 2 of VBS was all about Jonah and the Whale! Students got to climb inside a giant "whale" that swam through St. Mark's this morning! (Kudos to Miss Amy for creating this amazing experience!)

For Day 1 of VBS, we learned about Elijah and the "contest" that helped show everyone that God is real and loves us so!

Happy 55th Birthday to the Very Hungry Caterpillar!
First published on this day by the World Publishing Company (US) in 1969. Inspired when punching holes with a hole puncher into a stack of paper, author Eric Carle created a story called ‘A Week with Willi the Worm. But his editor suggested that readers may not like a green worm very much, and suggested a caterpillar instead.

Looking for animals on our safari scavenger hunt!

What a surprise when Mrs. Zeiter, former St. Marks preschool teacher, came in her boa constrictor outfit to greet our safari campers! (Also extra fun when two Mrs. Z's can team up for preschool fun!)

Its time for a safari scavenger hunt.....

More animal fun at Jungle Safari Camp!

Our pollinator garden is blooming! We hope that the wildflowers, pentas, snapdragons, milkweed, and other plantings will encourage bees and butterflies to pollinate, while also adding beauty to our community! Preschool families, we are looking for helpers with tracking growth and watering our garden this summer...check email to sign up!

Mrs. Harvey is ready to safari into the lion's den!

The jungle has a way of igniting our imaginations!

Jungle Safari Camp is underway!

Popsicle party!

Last day of school = popsicle party on the playground!

Preschool friends are truly special friends!
