Announcements

Welcome to PreK-4!!!  Mrs. Tierney, my instructional assistant, and I are so happy and excited to be working with your children this year!!!  At the beginning of each month, I will send out a Newsflash letting you know that I have updated the Announcements Page on the PreK-4 website.  This will be a summary of the activities your children will be doing in school for that month.  

Much of September will be spent getting to know one another and learning the classroom routine.  There will be several different activities, songs, crafts and stories the children will be able to enjoy throughout the month that go along with this theme. 

The children will also learn a song called "I Know That God Loves Me".  In our religion program, Stories of God's Love, the children will learn about sharing and being kind to one another, just like Jesus taught when he was alive.  We will also focus on making the sign of the cross correctly and a new prayer will be learned at Snack Time.

During September, the children will begin the first story unit in our HAPPILY EVER AFTER reading series.  The story will be Little Red Riding Hood and in this unit, the children will work with the letters Aa and Bb and the color red.  They will be "introduced" to, and gain practice making, meaningful "markings" (or lines) across the page and under different pictures on their activivty pages based on the instructions given to them by myself or the instructor on the computer.  The storybooks and activity pages, along with information about key concepts covered in the unit, will be sent home once we have finished the lesssons.  There are 10 units in the reading series and each one will take about 3 weeks to complete.

Please remember to check the Snack & Share Calendar on the class website.  When it is your child's day to bring in snack for the class, he/she may also bring in one item from home for Show & Tell.  You will also find the list of Allergy Approved Snacks on our website.

As a reminder, the children will have PE Class every day so sneakers are best!!!

Please feel free to email me with any questions or concerns you may have throughout the year and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  Thank you again for your sharing your children with St. Lawrence School this year!!!
