We had a good tasting today! We tired sour lemons, salty pretzels, bitter chocolate and sweet Skittles. Surprise! We loved the Skittles the best!

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!

This is the poster from Fox and Trove to help remind us how to be good problem solvers!
We read Harold's Trip to the Sky today. Afterwards, we explored color mixing with red and blue paint to make purple in clouds (of shaving cream). Qtips are the perfect writing tool for this adventure!
The children made Kindness Kites. They fly high when filled with kindness!
Lola made a smiley face this morning with her Perler beads! We love smiley faces in Room 8!
The children had an in class field trip with Fox and Trove! We learned all about kindess, self-calming and emotion regulation! It was so fun!
Up! Up! It went! We were so amazed how tall the Brachiosaurus really was!
We went outside to launch a dinosaur balloon 82 feet in the air to see how tall the largest dinosaur was compared to ourselves. Boy, are we little! We also had fun roaring like a dinosaur outside today!
We read Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam by Hans Wilhelm. We discussed how we can all be sunbeams. Mina helped us connect how being a sunbeam is just like being a bucket filler. Then we each came up with one way that we can be Jesus' sunbeams!
Jefferson used our dinosaur encyclopedia to find the names for the dinosaurs. This one is the brachiosaurus!
We enjoyed Harold's Fairy Tale by Crockett Johnson and then we made our own purple crayon creations!
We made strawberry lemonade in class today. We counted and measured the ingredients. After tasting, we graphed. We loved our yummy drink!
It is Dd week in PreK4! Dd is for duck! Quack! Quack!
William and Nico drew beautiful numbers on the chalk board together today! Friends at work and play!
This afternoon, we read and discussed Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson. How fun it was to journal with our very own purple crayon and see where it took us!
