Preschool Site

Welcome to St. Elizabeth's PreK classroom and welcome to our 2025-2026 Pre-K Google site. On this site, I will keep you updated on weekly learning objectives and information. I will also post pictures of our students for you to get a glimpse of our daily learning activities and fun.

At St. Elizabeth, our biggest goal is to teach to the "whole child." That means we will do more than learn our ABC's and 123's. Besides academics, your child's future success also depends on developing their social and emotional skills and beginning to develop their faith. Because we are 3 & 4 years old, my goal is to accomplish most of this through play. Play is extremely important to keep your child interested, motivated and engaged as they learn and have fun in PreK!

I look forward to getting to know you and your child and watch their amazing development throughout the school year as your child grows as a learner.

Thank you,

Susan Molloy

Week 9/15 - 9/19

I wanted to share with you the many ways we can solve our problems or deal with strong emotions we sometimes can experience. We have reviewed all of these strategies and given scenarios on what can happen when we have problems or experience emotions like anger or frustration. Everyday we have opportunities to practice these strategies. Besides our "Helper of the Day" we now will have our "Problem Solver" of the day too. Please review these strategies with your child. Thank you

Last week we learned the sound of "F" and how to write letter "F". When you practice at home, I am teaching the kids to always start at the top of the page and go down, jumping back to the top to slide out to complete writing "F". Same with lowercase letters, we always start at the top.

Identify, tracing and writing "F".

Number review, identify and count.

More number review. Identify, match to the numbers on the mat then put in order.

Fun ways to practice identifying letters in names.

Stamping

Finding the correct letters and matching them to their name tags then lacing the letters.

When the kids return homework, they earn a sticker and I display everyone's work. They are very proud to see their work with a sticker, love to find their name and check out everyone else's sticker. Simple pleasures, I love it!

Learning how to write #2, "Around and back like a railroad track."

Emotion sort. Sometimes identifying and sorting between different emotions can be tricky. Especially between scared and surprised.

We continue to work on self-control. In this activity, the kids had to pass a bell around the circle without waking the kitty in the middle.

Singing songs and learning how to play some new instruments.
