Preschool Weekly Update – week of 10/9

Father, we pray for equity in education, housing, access to water, and opportunities for Indigenous people in this land. We lift up each of the unique and individual Indigenous cultures, traditions, and languages – may You protect them and strengthen them. -crcna.org

Dear Preschool Parents,

What a busy week! Our preschoolers took part in the “Blessing of the Animals” with the Kindergarten class and “First Friday Adoration” with the TK class. They were quiet, respectful and reverent. They should be very proud of themselves.

We finished our first week of weather science. We studied clouds, wind, snow and rainbows. Our classroom is fill with all new art work representing these elements.

This week we will explore the individual seasons, summer, fall, winter and spring. Our friend, Doug, from Mystery Science will help us learn the scientific reason for the seasons.

We are having an issue with children being distracted by too many items brought to school for rest time. We would like each child to bring one stuffy, only, for rest time.

Enjoy the three day weekend!

Blessings, 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
