In the Rain with Baby Duck is a sweet story about a family going to the grandparents for Sunday breakfast! Baby Duck is miserable in the rain, and thinks he needs rain boots and an umbrella to stay dry!

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.

This math game we introduced during small group with Mrs. Truskowski this week has become a choice time activity! Look how they stuck with this game until completion! Super shape Skills!
We love small group activities for cultivating social skills! Working together builds cooperation, sharing, and language skills that are so important for our young learners!
Preschoolers are so excited to build their own name! Just super!
“Do ducks need umbrellas?” Preschoolers used the scientific method in this fun experiment today that had us investigating how ducks stay dry after spending so much time in the water! We painted our feathers with oil, and then observed how the “rain” rolled right off!
Music with Mr. Showstead 🎶. Rhythm Sticks!
Choice Time Tables: Raindrop Math!
Rainy Day CVC Write the Room 💧
We practiced our Heggerty skills today! Preschoolers have gained experience with so many skills during these daily literacy lessons! They did an absolutely amazing job with this activity that had them “reading” picture clues, identifying beginning sounds, and writing the corresponding letter on their sheet to complete the CVC word! We are writing words! 👏
Scholastic My Big World with Clifford: “Rain Today? That’s Okay!” These social studies lessons are filled with non-fiction pics and text, literacy games, movement activities, and fun! 💧
Raindrop STEM 💧 “How many raindrops can your cloud hold?” Preschoolers used pipettes to drip “raindrops” onto their cloud! They counted each drip their cloud could hold until the “rain” dropped! We love all their conversations and discussions during this activity! 🌧
Preschoolers counted the drops they added before “it rained”! 🌧
We compared our counts ranging from 5 to 149! 💧
Choice Time. We have been discovering lots of different ways to represent numbers! Our Math Center gave us super practice with identifying/naming numbers, using one to one, counting, and subitizing!
Letter Uu Word Wall! Preschoolers understood that this one is a tough one! They did a super job of listing letter U words today!
Rain, rain. Go away
Pick an umbrella. What does it say? ☂
During today’s lit circle, preschoolers took turns to practice letter/sound relationships!
U is for Umbrella! This week’s letter project included process art and a rainy day writing prompt! ☔️ Love integrating science with literacy and art!
