Building Strong Minds and Faith-Filled Hearts

Welcome to PreK!
Our class is a 3 Day Full Day/5 Day Full Day combination.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE:
*All the activities, books we read, and homework center around a “Letter of the Week.” Recognizing the letters, practicing letter formation, and gaining an awareness of letter sounds will give your child a solid foundation for reading success.
* Through centers and play-based activities, your child will practice skills that build an understanding of math concepts. We will also introduce “formal” religion lessons with Discovering God's World. Your child will explore God's gift of creation with faith-focused stories, activities and songs. You are encouraged to use the parent information page that is sent home with each lesson.
*Each day, your child is actively engaged in our reading readiness program. Happily Ever After includes brightly illustrated stories, lively discussions, a variety of hands-on activities, and group games. Throughout the program, clear instruction builds success step by step, giving your child confidence as he/she develops the skills needed to learn to read.
*We follow the themes presented in the Scholastic "My Big World with Clifford" magazine to build your child's general knowledge and to reinforce literacy skills.
*Students in the 5 day program also participate in our music, library, art, and physical education specials on Tuesday and Thursday.
Thank you God for this day
In my school to work and play.
Please be with me all day long
In every story, game and song.
May all the happy things we do
Make you, Our Father, happy too. Amen.
Here are some simple activities you can do with your child to promote school readiness.
