Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 6/3

Last Day

I’m a little bit excited. I’m a little bit sad. I’m a little bit nervous. I’m a little bit glad. I’m a little bit older. It’s the end of the year. I will miss this class. I’m glad that I was here. – Amy Ludwig VanDerwater

Dear preschool families,

I love this poem because it sums up how we are all feeling in the classroom.

This past week we have had fun with art, water play and preparing for Monday’s celebration. We have had “Community Meetings” daily to help us process the upcoming changes. We also discussed the importance of safe water play. I have attached a link on summer water safety.

Please return all SPN/Preschool clothing and mat sheets if you have them at home. We will collect sheets today after rest time for those who have them.

We will not be napping next week. We will have quiet, indoor, play time. No nap rolls or blankets are needed.

The “End of Year Celebration” will be on June 3rd at 9:30am. The side gate will be open for parents/caregivers to come in and find a seat. Our celebration will be around 20 to 30 minutes long. The children wear their school uniform for the event. Please email me if you have any questions. We will give parents 10 minutes after the program for pictures. Thank you.

On behalf of Miss Rosie and myself, we would like to thank for sharing your child with us this year. It has been a joy to watch and guide their development. They should be proud of themselves!

Have a great summer!

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
