The children made necklaces for the feast with colored pasta. They used four different colors and types of pasta to make patterns or their own special design. They were all beautiful!

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 20 years and at St. Joseph Catholic School for the last 5 years. I am excited to begin my 6th year at St. Joseph teaching preschool. 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!

The Pilgrims and Wampanoags enjoyed some good fellowship during the
feast.
The Blessing before the meal.
Our beautiful feast table! Mrs. Gillespie did an awesome job decorating it for us! The children came in and put on their Pilgrim or Native American (Wampanoag) hats they had made yesterday. They all held hands and said the blessing.
The children took turns adding different foods to our bowl to make the mix for the feast. When they added something they had to name something they were thankful for.
We made hot air popcorn. The children saw how the popcorn became very hot and finally popped right out of the machine. So much fun, we made 2 batches of popcorn!
More Gaga Ball, running around the circle of mats, and playing with the hula hoops.
Morning Gym with Mrs. Beyer’s Class. Everyone e loves playing basketball!
The children followed along and help read “The Five Little Turkey” poem.
Milena was our Special Person today!
The children made their own American flag. It has 50 stars 1 for each state and 13 stripes for each of the original states.
We played a state review game. The children were Show a picture and they had to tell me what state it represented. They were able to name all the states we learned about.
We reviewed the states we have learned about. The children saw that they are all a part of The United States of America.
In preparation for our Thanksgiving Friendship Feast tomorrow then children made Pilgrim and Native American Wampanoag hats to wear. The children retold the story as they were making the hats.
Our Seeds lesson was “Jesus is our Leader”. We played Follow the Leader...everyone took turns being the leader. The children recognized Jesus is our leader.
