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!

What was inside the Dino eggs? They all found a dinosaur. We even saw some “fossils” made from the imprint of the dinosaurs in the eggs.
They used mallets to crack open the eggs. Everyone wore their special safety goggles.
Dinosaur week! The boys and girls were Paleontologists and they had to crack open dinosaur eggs.
We had a Fire Drill in the morning. The boys and girls did a great job. Following the Fire Drill we went up to Media with Mrs Hoglund for a shortened Media visit.

Scruffy will spend the next week with Olivia. We can’t wait to hear about their adventures together.
Penny shared her adventures with Scruffy the Bear. They were very busy. Scruffy went shopping, went to the grocery store and garden shop and of course spent some time reading! What a fun visit with the Beltran’s !
This afternoon was number day. The boys and girls played with play dough. They had a number sheet, they traced the letters and then using play dough rolled balls to correspond to each number. When they were done they used the play dough to make long ropes and big round shapes.
The boys and girls made their own Stegosaurus’. They had to cut and pattern the heart spikes on the back of their dinos. Great job!
Digging for dinosaur bones. The girls and boys took turn being Junior Paleontologists. They carefully had to sift through dirt and sand (oatmeal) looking for letter Dino bones. When they found them they matched the upper and lower case letters together.

Letter D review Day! We started out the afternoon it’s DOT Paint. We named a friend in the class and the children had to find the letter on their sheet and dot paint it. We didn’t get to all the letters so will continue next week!
We started learning about dinosaurs today. We learned that Dinosaurs are extinct, they hatched from eggs and their footprints have 3 toes. How many of our footprints can fit in a dinosaurs footprint? Everyone made a guess and then we tried to see how many we could fit in. We ended up getting 19 footprints I. The Dino’s print. The only ones that did not fit were Mrs Gillespie’s and Mrs Feely’s!
