The students continue to work hard on recognizing the individual letters in their names and practicing how to trace each letter. We are so proud of their growing confidence and progress as they build these important early literacy skills! Keep up the great work, PK3! ✏️

In Media today, Mrs. Hoglund introduced the students to the Bat, Cat, and Rat early reader book series! 📚 We enjoyed reading A Great Fall, which featured three and a half mini chapters filled with fun fall adventures starring Bat, Cat, and Rat. Along the way, Mrs. Hoglund shared how we can continue exploring this series by finding these books both in our school library and at the public library.

The students were hard at work in the art center practicing all things letter K! Together, we looked at different pictures, identified and circled the items that begin with the letter K, practiced making the /k/ sound, and finished by coloring our pictures. 

This morning during circle time, the students had so much fun sharing their special letter K items from home! We love seeing the excitement as students discover what their classmates brought in, find similarities, and make connections with one another. These special show-and-tell moments spark wonderful conversations, strengthen friendships, and help us learn more about the things we have in common both inside and outside of school.

Today in our religion lesson, we learned about the Feast of All Saints and Saint Paul’s dedication to spreading the word of Jesus. We talked about what it means to live like a saint and shared ways we can show kindness, love, and care for others in our everyday lives. After our discussion, the students enjoyed coloring a picture of Saint Paul! 

PK3 had so much fun creating their pumpkin crafts! They explored the different parts of a pumpkin and discovered what’s inside. The students practiced counting as they added their pumpkin seeds and used yarn to represent the gooey, stringy insides. They especially loved experimenting with contact paper, discovering how it works like one big sticker to hold all of their pumpkin pieces together! 

Today we had so much fun introducing our Letter of the Week: J! We listened to the Jolly Phonics Letter J story and song while practicing the /j/ sound and its special action. We pretended to jiggle like Jell-O as we said, /j/ /j/ /j/

Afterward, students were able to share their special letter J items from home! It was such a wonderful opportunity to practice recognizing the letter J, build vocabulary, and learn from one another. Thank you, families, for helping make our letter learning so fun and meaningful! 

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful families who donated materials and snacks, and to everyone who volunteered their time to help make our preschool Halloween party so special! We are so grateful for your kindness, generosity, and support. The students had the best time and were so excited and appreciative of all the fun treats and activities. It truly wouldn’t have been the same without all of you!

Wishing everyone a happy, fun, and safe Halloween! 🎃👻

We kicked off our Halloween week festivities in Media with Mrs. Hoglund! The students enjoyed reading Herbert’s First Halloween and joining in on a fun, interactive retelling of Five Little Pumpkins! 🎃 

The students did an awesome job posing for a class photo before heading off to pick their very own pumpkins! 🎃

🎃🍂 Pumpkin Patch Fun! 🍂🎃

The students had so much fun picking out their very own pumpkins today! During our morning meeting, we talked about all the creative ways we could decorate them, and the students had some wonderful ideas! From carving silly faces and painting spooky ghosts to decorating with colorful stickers and feathers, their imaginations were in full swing! 👻

We can’t wait to see all of their amazing pumpkin creations on Monday, October 26! 

The students had so much fun exploring jingle bells during music class today! Mr. Showstead shared that he is beginning preparations for the upcoming Christmas shows, which means we’ll be hearing lots of festive Christmas music in the coming weeks! 🎄

The students were so excited to shake their jingle bells while singing along to the classic favorite, “Jingle Bells!”

We had so much fun introducing our Letter of the Week, Hh! Our PK3 friends listened to our Jolly Phonics Letter H story and song while practicing the /h/ sound. We pretended to huff and puff after running a race, cupping our hands in front of our mouths as we said, “/h/ /h/ /h/” 🏃‍♀️

The students were so excited to share their Letter H items and practice making the /h/ sound each time. 

PK3 worked hard using Play-Doh to create the numbers 1–10. They practiced number recognition, strengthened their fine motor skills, and showed off their creativity along the way!
