Oh, So Happy Day

Did you know? (Right hand up by shoulder) Did you know? (Left hand up by shoulder) Jesus is alive today (Point both fingers up)
He’s alive today, (Point both fingers up) that’s why we say (Hands to mouth like megaphone)
It’s an oh - oh - so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air) - hey! (Fist Pump)

Chorus
Clap your hands (Clap)
Beat on your drum (Pretend to play drums)
It’s an oh - oh - so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air)
It’s an oh - oh – so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air) hey! (Fist Pump)

Ending
It’s an oh - oh - so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air)

It’s an oh - oh -so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air)
It’s an oh - oh – so (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy day (Jump up and down while doing jazz hands in air)
It’s an OH - OH - SO (Hands over head to form O and rock back and forth) happy (march in place)
day! (End in legs spread, arms up cheerleader pose)

A Friend Forever

Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Isn’t that AMAZING? He wants to be MY friend. He wants to be YOUR friend. Jesus wants to be my friend, forever. What a life-changing truth. What a foundational truth. What an awesome thing to put in the hearts of our preschoolers. Easter is the 2nd Sunday of this month, and what a special time this is! Here are the parent cue cards for this month! (click on the picture to see it up close)

Story Time's past: You are Loved!

Our Critter Street Story times are so much fun, we wanted to share some of the great pictures and details on the blog! February's theme was "You are Loved!" We always have the coffee bar open for the grown-ups with complimentary coffee's and latte's, so make sure you don't miss the next one!

We had snacks...(here's the link to a close up of the sign!)

For craft time we had so many fun things to do! We had a fingerprinting craft, made mini bows and arrows out of q-tips, popsicle sticks and dental floss . We also modpodged hearts onto river rocks.



We had a bouncy house...

Getting ready for Story Time! Our book was "God Gave us Love" by Lisa Tawn Bergren and Laura J. Bryant and the kids loved that the puppets told the story!

We sent everyone home with a discussion card to keep the conversation going with their sweet preschoolers and a crayon heart as a gift!

We can't wait for the next one! See you there!

(Special thanks to Anglea Sieg for the wonderful pictures!)
