Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 2/12

‘We live on this spec called earth – Think about what you might do, today or tomorrow – And make the most of it.” Neil deGrasse Tyson

Hello Parents,

This past week we prepared for our world travel. The children made their suitcase, built a plane, learned about world currencies and created their artistic interpretation of earth. We continue this week exploring world markets.

We will celebrate Mardi Gras on Tuesday with a parade to the big school. Miss Kristen helped the children create their parade hats in the maker-space on Friday, and Miss Rosie brought in her collection of beads for the festivities. On Ash Wednesday we will attend the all-school mass and receive our ashes. The children will bring home a “Good Deeds” chart for their Lenten journey. We will have a classroom chart that aligns with our SLE pledge.

Valentine’s Day will be celebrated on Tuesday the 13th. Your child may bring cards or a small goodie bag to share with their class. Please no candy or sweets. Please have your child write their name on the cards.

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
