Welcome to Little Knights Preschool
at St. Joseph Catholic School!
“Called to Discipleship: Be Christ’s Light”
I am excited to be a part of the St. Joseph Catholic School community as the new full day preschool teacher working with four year olds. I look forward to being a part of such a positive and caring academic community where body, mind and spirit are nurtured and developed.
Although I earned my education degree in Ohio, I have been a preschool teacher in Libertyville for the last 15 years. I love teaching preschool children and seeing the world through their eyes. I believe a warm and loving environment both encourages children to learn as well as helps them gain self-confidence. I am a strong believer in learning through play as well as hands on learning to help foster a child’s creativity and development. I look forward to a positive, loving, and wonderful year with your child!

Loic is taking Barnaby home today! Have a great week Loic and Barnaby. We cannot wait to hear about your adventures!
Afternoon Enrichment was rhyming fun today! We worked through sorting rhyming words into the correct word families. Then we practiced our listening skills by doing a Listen and Color activity. Each step was announced and we had to be really good listeners so we knew what to do! Hands on top if you are ready! We also were excited to work on our number 20 page - tracing the numbers, learning its name, counting and coloring 20, iSpy 20 and filling in 20.
Mrs. Goldberg came to visit today. We played a fun game of Hot Potato where we had to be good listeners and follow multi-step directions. Afterwards, the children used their problem solving skills and fine motor skills to work through Leprechaun mazes.
We are busy making the chains for our bulletin board!
The children really loved using the iPads this morning. They had the chance to revisit Dr. Seuss stories using the QR Code reader.
Falasko came to visit with our class this afternoon! We all had a wonderful time playing in the kitchen and at the rug. The children gave him a group hug before he left! Thank you for visiting!
McKenna shared a book she wrote about a Disney trip she will be taking in the future! Thanks for sharing McKenna!
Happy Shamrock Day!
I’m a little shamrock
see my leaves.
Count my petals,
if you please.
If you give me water
And lots of sun,
I’ll bring you good luck
and lots of fun!
We are making rainbow chains for our bulletin board - great team work!
Top O' the morning Afternoon Enrichment! We learned about Ireland A to Z today. We learned the meanings of their flag - with the three equal stripes orange stands for Irish Protestants, green signifies Irish Catholics and white represents the hope for peace between them. We made our flag using little shamrocks to fill in a larger shamrock. This took a lot of concentration and used our fine motor skills! Afterwards we were able to color a small book of facts to share at home.
We met Lucky, our leprechaun today. He is here to teach us all about positional words this month. He will hide in the classroom and each day we will describe his location using many positional words. We learned fun facts about leprechauns too such as they are sneaky, a type of a fairy and are the bankers and shoemakers of the fairy world. This let us into wonderful discussion about what we would wish for if we caught a leprechaun. Caroline would wish for a turquoise unicorn, Hugo would wish for 100 sunny days and Jack O. would wish for a motorcycle.
It is Rr week in preschool! Look at all the words we know that begin with Rr. Thanks to all our friends who brought in things to share with the class - this is a highlight of our week!
