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!

Ff is for Friendship Painting!  We had a wonderful time this morning.  We partnered with our friends and chose primary colors to paint our hands with.  Then the fun began when we mixed our paint colors by squishing our hands together!  It was so cool to see the secondary colors appear!
Look at all the wonderful pictures the children created using Paint Sparkle on our iPads!  If was a fun treat after working on our IXL Math,  such amazing creativity!
We enjoyed our lesson on Germany today.  We read about the country and it’s beautiful monuments.  We learned to count zero eleven (null to elf).  We also learned the names for the days of the week.  We sang our days of the week song with the German names.  So fun!  We also made a mini version of a Schultüte, a special treat for children starting school for the first time.  These enourmous cones are elaborately decorated and filled with school supplies and treats. We watched a video showing how a  Schultute was made to look like a minion! Ours were decorated with glitter crayons and religious stickers. We filled ours with delicious German pretzels and sweet Skittles.  Yum!
