Welcome to Preschool at St. Joseph Catholic School!

I am so excited to be your child’s preschool teacher this year!

This is my ninth year at St. Joseph Catholic School and I am looking

forward to helping your child grow, and learn,

and have fun this year.

I have been a preschool teacher in Libertyville for over 25 years,

and am passionate about helping young children learn.

I believe children learn best with hands-on experiences and

help facilitate their many different learning styles

in a kind and nurturing setting.

We will have an amazing year together meeting new friends, sharing new

discoveries, and learning new skills everyday.

Our instructional aide, Mrs. Tina Truskowski, has much experience in the classroom

after being a aide at St. Joseph Catholic School for over 15 years!

Together, we help build positive relationships with children to help foster

growth and confidence in a caring classroom community.

We are both looking forward to sharing a wonderful year with your child.

Friday Firefighter Center Fun👩‍🚒

Our Literacy center engaged the children with hands-on experiences using fun props!

“Firefighters” used an extinguisher to put out the lowercase “flames”.

After “putting out the flame”, preschoolers used their recording sheet to color the corresponding uppercase letter! Awesome practice with letter recognition and matching upper/lowercase letters!

Firefighter Number Puzzle 👩‍🚒

This center had preschoolers using fine motor to cut straight lines, then assembling the pieces in number sequence 1-10! Wonderful practice with number recognition!
