    This Week's MOPPETS:

    MOPPETS for January 2015 Theme: O Say Can U C?

    Welcome to MOPPETS for 2015! We are looking forward to spending time with each of your children and teaching them how very much God loves them. Thank you for sharing them with us!

    BOZ Buzz!
    Letters of the alphabet is the next theme for BOZ Treehouse Time! at MOPPETS. To introduce this topic, please talk with your child about the letters that make up his or her name. When you read a nighttime story, point out how individual letters make words. With your help, even young children can recognize sight words they see regularly like “stop” and “exit”. Identifying visual clues, including common words, helps a young child understand the world.

    • Memory Verse: I can learn about God
    (Psalm 25:4 - Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow.)
    • Biblical Concept: We should follow God’s teaching
    • Snack:
      • January 13th: Chex Mix
      • January 27th: Pretzels, cheese squares, and blueberries.

    Looking ahead:

    We are looking for more child care workers for the January through April as some of our workers have headed to warmer areas for the winter. If you have a friend, mom, grandmother, etc. who might be interested in helping, please contact me at the number/email below.
    Thank you!

    • Cardboard Egg Cartons (that we can paint) are needed for a craft for April .

    • Steering Team Meeting Moms for Tuesday, February 9:15 – 11:45 AM. Thank you so much for helping out!!!
      • Amber Fodstad (Waddler Room)
      • Tracy Mueller (Cruiser Room)

    Looking forward to spending 2015 with your precious children.
