Preschool. Weekly Update

“Faith is a beam radiating from the face of God.”
– St. John Eudes

Dear Preschool Parents,

What a fun week exploring our “feelings.” Happy, sad, scared or mad, we all had stories to share about these feelings. Bunny, is teaching us about being kind and helpful. We introduced the letter Hh and we are starting to see the AB pattern on our daily calendar. The children enjoyed testing their shadow puppets with our shadow experiment on Thursday. Today the children created a “Picasso” portrait. These will hang in the classroom and we will send them home at the end of the month. Next week we will study pets and the letter Tt.

Parents, please remind your child that lunchtime is for eating and not playing. We sit in our chairs with our feet on the floor. There is no walking around the classroom with food in our mouth. Thank you for helping us keep your child safe.

For the children who don’t nap, please send a favorite softie or a toy for them to entertain themselves quietly during rest time. Please make sure your child’s water bottle is full when they leave for school.

Have a great weekend!

Blessings, Ms. Grace and Ms. Hanen

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."
— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022
"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"
— SPN Parent
"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
— SPN Parent since 2016
