Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 9/9

WELCOME, SEPTEMBER!

Brighter days are waiting for us this month. Let us embrace all of the blessings that await us!

Hello preschool families,

It was a busy week for our preschoolers. We had a full schedule plus an added Maker Space class to make our “Unity” buttons. A big “Thank you!” to Miss Kristen for including preschool in this fun project. The road construction on Thursday was so fun to watch! The children were able to watch the workers at street level from our front windows!

We have completed our first week of our themed curriculum, “Making Friends”. This week we will explore our feelings. We check in every morning with how we are feeling. Our chart has a happy, sad, scared, mad, sleepy and surprised face to choose from. Some preschoolers pick a couple of emotions. We introduced our forrest friend, Rabbit, who is teaching us the virtue of kindness. We have also started our letter and word board with the letter “F”.

A reminder that “Picture Day” is Tuesday, September 10th. Please dress your child in their white shirt and blue sweatshirt/sweater.

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
