Friday is a center day and we love our centers! We roll and traced letters a - f, made acorns out of cereal and worked on the iPads to form letters on the geoboards!

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!

Scarecrows and crows in our classroom are getting us in the Fall mood!
We read Doreen Cronin's Bounce and Wiggle today. These books are so silly! We loved the rhyming and pictures of the animals so much that it made us want to bounce and wiggle too! We acted out how different animals would bounce and wiggle. We then decided to have our own bounce contest. Brady, Jackson and Bradley bounced the farthest - 47 inches! Awesome!
James wrote his name on his religion paper. He was so proud of his work. He used his label on his pencil box to help him write it out correctly. Amazing problem solving! Way to go James!
We learned about Spain with our friend Theodore and his book Theodore's Spanish Adenture by Trent Harding. Theodore the bear taught us all about Spain, basic Spanish words and what life is like in Spain. He travels to the La Rambla in Barcelona, the Royal Palace of Madrid and all over Spain on his journey eating all types of exciting spanish foods like paella, churros and tapas. We learned about the flamenco dancers and made beautiful fans using the colors of their flag! Then we danced!
Gym time is a blast with Mrs. Beyer's class!
Centers on Wednesday was a fantastic learning and exploring experience. We wish we could have them everyday! There were magnets with magnet sticks mixed with our popcorn at the sensory table. We loved making letters with the geoboards on the i Pads at the red table! We loved counting crows 1 - 20 at the yellow table too!
We had so much fun acting out subtraction problems for the number 4! Kiss your brain!
We were a busy bunch today as we also made fall colored Indian corn today too! It was fun to dot paint using q-tips as our painting tool.
