Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 3/24

“God, may Your light guide our days, and your spirit bring us peace. Amen.” 

Hello parents,

Please congratulate your preschooler for a week of perfect line formation coming and going from the classroom. We had SPN teachers and staff notice and compliment them. This shows the growth in their self-regulation domain. Well done!

We will end our month long desert exploration with studying the night life of the desert. Your child’s portfolio will go home on Friday. We hope you enjoyed the spring sheep as much as Miss Rosie and I had guiding the preschoolers with this project.

LENTEN JOURNEY: Our Lenten chart is filling up nicely. This week and next we are focusing on “kindness.” We are fasting from morning dance videos. The children are learning how words can hurt as much or even more than hitting someone. Kind words for peers, parents and teachers is our focus.

Have a great weekend!

Peace, Ms Grace and Miss Rosie

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
