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!

We watched a video of what a popcorn kernels looks like when it pops. The video was in super slow motion so we could all see the kernel open and then open like a flower. We then made our own popcorn. We talked about what senses we use when making the popcorn. We used all 5 of our senses because we all ate some of the popcorn we made.

Popcorn Science! The boys and girls learned that popcorn kernels come from the corn that grows in fields. They all felt the kernels and were able to feel how hard the kernels were. Would they sink or float in water? They sunk to the bottom of the cup. We were able to make the kernels “Dance” by mixing vinegar and baking soda in a jar. The chemical reaction made bubbles which caused the kernels to bob up and down.

The boys and girls had some time during Media to go on the I Pads and use the doodle bug app. They drew turkeys and the Pigeon from the Mo Willems stories. Great Job!

Morning Media with Mrs. Hoglund. Mrs Hoglund read us the newest Pigeon book by Mo Willems.

Friday November 11th/Dress Down Day

In honor of Veterans Day this Friday, November 11th, we would like everyone to wear Red White and Blue.

The boys and girls did a 10 frame write the room. They had to find the picture, count the objects and color in the correct number of boxes.

This afternoon the boys and girls practiced making their letters in shaving cream.

Jaxon will be bringing Scruffy home this next week. We can’t wait to hear about their adventures together.

K.C. brought Scruffy back to school. Scruffy had a fun week with K.C. And his family. They played legos, climbed trees and made forts out of pillows. Such a fun week.

H is for house. The boys and girls were given post it’s with tally marks and X’s on them. They had to find the correct number house to put their post it in.

The boys and girls cut and decorated their own beautiful hats! Great job!

We graphed friends that wore hats and friends that did not. The boys and girls then sorted hats by type and by color.

Hat Day! Everyone wore their favorite hats to school today.
