Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 3/3

The Lord is holy and kind.

Our God is full of tender love. – Psalm 116:5

Hello Parents,

We have completed our month long study of health and fitness. I know the preschoolers enjoyed this month’s projects and activities. They did a great job and they are looking forward to sharing their portfolios with you. On Monday, we will begin to explore our “Desert Discovery” curriculum. We will look at the wild west, Sahara Desert, Mojave Desert and desert night life.

As is our preschool tradition, on Tuesday, the preschoolers will celebrate Mardi Gras with a parade. We will begin around 10:30am at the Early Elementary wing, parade across the street and through the big school. When we return to the classroom we will celebrate with Shrove pancakes. These are plain pancakes with syrup. This is a pre-Lent celebration. We will attend all school mass on Ash Wednesday as a class. On Wednesday a “My Lenten Good Deeds Chart” will go home with directions. The preschool will have a class chart posted near the front door during Lent. This chart is to guide our preschoolers through Lent.

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
