Welcome to Preschool at St. Joseph Catholic School!
I am so excited to be your child’s preschool teacher this year!
This is my sixth 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.

During our Religion lesson today, we discussed all the ways we can let our light shine at school. One of the ways the children agreed we can follow Jesus, is by sharing! This was the perfect example today as 6 children shared one container of Gears!✨✨✨ Shine, shine, shine✨✨✨
Table Time includes trees that preschoolers thread colorful leaves to each branch! We love these for the opportunity to create both simple and more complex patterns! Today we saw AB, ABC, and ABB patterns built!
Celebrating Feast of All Saints!
Preschoolers learned that saints are special friends of Jesus who were like lights shining with God’s love! We discussed some Saints they knew, and listened to a story about Saint Elizabeth of Hungary. We look forward of following Jesus, like St. Elizabeth, by gathering food for the hungry during our November Food drive. Preschoolers will also tour the Food Pantry and gain a better understanding of helping those in need in our community.
Monday’s are for Music & Movement with Mr. Showstead!

Preschoolers combined colorful dot markers and water to create the first step of this fun seasonal project! 🦃
