Monthly Highlights
Junior Kindergarten
April 2024
Dear Parents,
Spring has finally arrived. The birds are singing, and new life is all around us. I know we are all looking forward to warmer temperatures and being outside. We hope you will enjoy this special time of year and take a moment to reflect upon God’s wonderful gifts.
Our theme for the month of April is Reading Is Fun. Our teachers have planned several fun activities to promote language and literacy this month. We would like to encourage you to spend time reading to your child. When you read to your child, you are developing creativity, imagination, language skills, vocabulary, and the enjoyment of books. Other topics this month will include Easter, spring, bugs, rhyming words, numbers 19 and 20, and measurement. We will be learning letters V, W, and X, as well as sight words his, her, will, was, and were.
Our memory Bible verse is Jesus said, “I Am Alive.” Revelation 1:18. Our Bible stories will include Jesus Is Alive, God Made All Creatures Great and Small, and My Bible, God’s Special Book. The children will discover that Easter is a celebration of Jesus’ gift of eternal life.
We will be studying bugs and learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this month. The children will have the opportunity to observe the metamorphosis of caterpillars into beautiful painted lady butterflies in their classrooms. This process will take approximately three to four
weeks. Be sure to ask your child about each stage of development!
Junior Kindergarten graduation pictures will be taken on Wednesday, April 10th. Your child should come to school dressed in his/her “Sunday best” for picture day. Greg McVicar will be taking an individual picture of each child and a group picture. You will receive an order form the following week with a couple of poses to choose from. The order form will have a date that the pictures are due back to school, so that the orders can be processed. Greg would like the proofs back whether you buy the pictures or not. If you order school pictures, you should have your package back by the middle of May.
Mark your calendar for an underwater adventure where we dive into a deeper friendship with Jesus! Vacation Bible School at DPC is scheduled for June 17-21 from 9:00am-12:00pm. Registration begins NOW and ends on May 19th. There is no registration fee this year, but space is limited so sign up early. Children must be 4 years of age by the first day of VBS. If your child isn’t 4 by June 17th, but they have attended Adam Lamb this year then they will be allowed to participate in VBS. Please indicate that they have attended Adam Lamb Preschool for the 2023-2024 school year.
We need your help! Please take a few minutes to leave us a review, visit our Facebook page, Google, Yelp, or Winnie.com. Your recommendations will help us fill our classes for the 2024-2025 school year.

First Year Preschool
April 2024
Dear Parents,
Spring has finally arrived. The birds are singing, and new life is all around us. I know we are looking forward to warmer temperatures and being outside. We hope you will enjoy this special season and take the time to reflect upon God’s wonderful gifts.
Our theme for the month of April is Nursery Rhymes and Alphabet Fun. We will be enriching our learning centers with nursery rhyme activities and introducing the children to the alphabet through a variety of activities, games, and puzzles. Other topics this month will include estimation and meaningful counting, counting backwards from 5-0, numbers 9 and 10, butterflies, and the season of spring.
Our memory Bible verse is Go into all the world and preach the good news… Mark 16:15. Our Bible stories will include Jesus Tells Us to Share the Good News and God Made All Creatures Great and Small.
We will be learning about the life cycle of a butterfly this month. The children will have an opportunity to observe the metamorphous of caterpillars into beautiful painted lady butterflies. This process will take approximately three to four weeks. Be sure to ask your child about each stage of development!
As the weather becomes increasingly warmer, the teachers will be taking the children outdoors for recess. Please keep in mind that we have peat gravel on our playground. Therefore, the children need to wear tennis shoes to school. We appreciate your cooperation!
Grandparents’ Day will be held on Thursday, April 18th in the CLC. The celebration will be from 11:00am-12:00pm. The children will be singing songs, listening to a story with their Grandparents, making a craft, and enjoying some snacks. At 11:45 the Grandparents will be invited to go down to see the classrooms. Those children leaving at 12:00 will be able to get their backpacks and go home with their Grandparents, if parents grant permission for the children to leave with them. The full-day FYP children will get to show their room to their Grandparents and say good-bye, so they can get ready for lunch. We are all looking forward to this celebration with our guests. Please no siblings, we want this time to be special for our preschoolers and their guests.
