This wos our last full week of Pre-K. We had a great week with the highlight Pre-K Field Day with Acushnet Creamery in the afternoon. I'm sure the children slept well. We've been working on Thank You cards to our Specialty Teachers and of course practicing for our End of the Year Celebration. The children sound great! Finally, I have assessed the children one to one and all have done very well. There performance did not vary much from what I have seen their performance in the classroom. You all have some Smarties!

I have posted some pictures of our 4 week old chicks. Mrs. Larkin is homing 3 of them. The remaining 4 went to a chicken farm in Acushnet. Also I have posted our past Special Days, Tye Dye Day, field trip to Save the Bay, classroom activities, and Field Day. Looking forward to our next special day next week here to celebrate our Summer Birthdays. Thank you to Mrs. Arruda, and Mr. Perry that supported our Field Day activities.

We have been busy in Pre-K! The children in both Pre-K classes have been practicing on the stage for their End of the Year Celelbration. They are working hard and sounding lovely! We have been working on the patterning of numbers with counting with 1 and counting by 2's. We ended this week with viewing a video about Pentecost Sunday, which is this Sunday. The children were filled with he Holy Spirit with making their fire of the Holy Spirit hats. They were so inspired with them that we sang one of our songs while crafting. Then on their way to outdoor play they stopped to pray in front of the their Ascension Craft that is adorning our hallway. This act of love and praise did come spontaneously from one of our classmates. Then everyone agreed and prayed. Miss Ramos let me know about this and will send out a picture. I had to share this with all of you.

A hard copy of Pre-K4 Special Day Schedule went home in the children's Friday Folders. We thought it is helpful to have on the refrigerator or schedule board. They will soon be here. We had a another interesting week of caring and holding our baby chicks. We will be keeping them for one more week before they will leave us.

This week was nothing short of amazing with the children working lovingly on their Mother's Day gifts and cards, caring for the chicks and watching them grow, to pretending in the " farm kitchen" to make egg-food dishes, counting the eggs that the paper plate "hens" laid each morning and letter Zz. Phew! It has been a busy week!

Next week, we will continue to care and watch the chickens mature and then continue to learn about Metamorphosis of butterflies. Preschool is a great start in the Life Sciences. Reminder Friday, it is a half-day dismissal at 11:30.

Dear Families,
Dear Families,
The children did very well with their Kindergarten Screening. This week was all a buzz about April Vacation experiences and our Egg-citing Chicken Hatching! The children were sharing their vacation fun with Miss Ramos, their classmates, and I all week. They all enjoyed their time spent on vacation. Then we got to see the stages of a chicken hatch and of course, have the pleasure of holding the 7 fuzzy, cute, chicks that hatched. In all the excitement of our newborn chicks, we made time to start planting some flower seeds. We are making our Mother's Day gift and these plantings are part of the Mother's Day gift.

In addition to all these activities. we have introduce more Life Sciences with learning about metamorphosis in the development of a butterfly. Our Mother's Day craft has some thumbprinting of butterflies. In addition to the hatching of chicks. now we are learning about some of the care the chicks need to be healthy and strong. We are taking turns to help fill the water bottle for them and add clean shavings to the Brooder. We will continue to watch the chicks develop their feathers on their wings and combs on their heads. Also we will watch for rooster and hen behavior. The roosters tend to be more physical with the wings and the hens tend to be more docile.

Next week, we are on the letter Zz. We will talk about zig- zag lines in an art project too. The children will be counting and computing the amount of eggs laid each day , from their own created hen, from a paper plate. Then we will evaluate what hen laid more eggs and what hens have the same amount. I hope to get some pictures of this experience. Their hens are so cute!

In closing, our class is running low on disinfectant wipes and hand soap. I'm thinking if each family could provide one disinfectant wipes and one hand soap, we will be good for the remainder of the six weeks of school. Wow! we don't have much time left. This year flew! Oh, more about our end of the year activities in next week's update. However, we will be sending home our permission slips for our trip to Save the Bay, soon.

The class has graphed the growth of their grass for the past 3 weeks. We have some children that their grass is already 2 inches tall. Then their are some that do not have much length on their grass. We are learning that possibly too much watering might have contributed to not having grown grass. We have replanted seed in these pots. We are approaching Holy Week and have been reading books about Jesus' Passion and why we celebrate Easter. This Sunday is Palm Sunday. We have read two books about Palm Sunday, Little Colt's Palm Sunday, by Michelle Medlock Adams and The Donkey That No One Could Ride by Anthony DeStefano. It was fun to compare the stories to see where the stories were the same and where the stories were different. On Friday, we reenacted this story using the palm leaves we cut - out.

We have had another busy week together. We have been learning about St. Patrick and planting our first Spring project of Easter grass for our parent Easter gifts. The children are excited to watch it grow. They learned how Saint Patrick taught about the Mystery of the Blessed Trinity, one God, 3 persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, using a shammrock. We have been keeping up with our Lenten Promise to pray one decade of the rosary with our friends in Pre-K4 P. The children are learning quickly about how to pray the rosary.

It is great to back in the swing of school! Miss Ramos and I are so happy to have all the children back in school. We had a successful return. The children did get right back into our classroom and school procedures. Thank you for providing the children with their snow gear. It was good that we could get outdoors this week. The children did have fun playing in the Blizzard Snow. We met with our friends in Mrs. Pelletier's class this week to pray one decade of the rosary. It is great to have the children together and learning about their faith through prayer.

Thank you all for your support with sending in your child/children's snow gear. It makes a big difference in the children's day to play outdoors. This week we've been reviewing shapes, and one to one counting and exercising our fine motor skills with scissor work to cut-out shapes to build a snowflake. The children enjoyed the activity and are very pleased with his or her snowflake. I have kept some of the children's letter Pp work to adorn our classroom for Open House this weekend. This helps families know one of the strategies of how we approach letter recognition and phonemic awareness in our preschool program.

The preschoolers are invited to contribute granola bars and or gloves or mittens. Please consider to send one of these items.

Grateful for the busy week. The preschoolers have been practicing our Patriotic Songs with our whole Preschool Community. It has been refreshing to witness the children enjoying the time together and learning the music. We have been working on our watercolor painting and crayon process self-portraits and snowman proportion art. The children are very proud of their efforts. They should be proud; their work is well done.

Please read carefully because each day the children can dress in special attire. Also in the Friday Folders is information regarding our Fun Run on Friday, January 30. There is a family number that needs to be applied to each of the sponsors/ donations your child/ children receive. Please remember that is how your amount is calculated and how your child earns prizes.

Dear Families,
Dear Families,
We’ve had a successful return to the routine of preschool. I am so happy to see these beautiful children everyday. We are still in the Christmas Season and have celebrated the Feast of the Epiphany, the visitation of the Three Wise Men or Kings. We read Tomie de Paola, The Three Wise Men. Then crafted an illustration of the Three Wise Men with the gifts of frankincense, myrrh, and gold. This art will be added to our Nativity Story book. Today, we read our Let’s Find Out Magazine about Dr. Martin Luther King. It explains about creating peace in adversity. Our children’s critical thinking in this reader always amazes me. They’re a very insightful group. It is a great reader and it might be a good idea to reread it this weekend with your child.

Also, this week all the preschools are now preparing with Mrs. Girouard and Mrs. Plante our Patriotic Assembly for Catholic Schools’ Week. This takes place on Wednesday, Jan 28, 2026 at 8:45. On this day, the children will come to school dressed in Patriotic colors of red, white, and blue, and perform Patriotic Songs to honor our Military. Each family is welcome to have two guests attend this event. At the end of the Patriotic Songs, Mrs. Plante has a slide show that honors the Military Heroes of our school. If you have a Military Hero or Veteran in your family please send Mrs. Plante a photo with the name and rank. If you have already given Mrs. Plante a photo last year, no need to send it again. She will keep that photo in the presentation. If you want to change the photo, you can send her a different photo. Her email address is aplante@sfxacushnet.com. The assembly should only take an hour.

I have teacher points that I would like to use to get a copy of the book for each of my students. If you are interested in buying books for your child, I see that there are a few good early reader books, I CAN READ, Amelia Bedelia Pack item # 58J5, EARLY READER Snow Pack item # 131J5, and BOB BOOk Set 1. I will email you all with information about ordering books from my classroom book club.

Thank you all for the thoughtful Christmas gifts. More important, thank you for sharing your beautiful children with me and our caring and loving school family. We enjoyed our last day before Christmas Break with bringing Christmas joy to our school family with singing carols. The children were so happy to pass out their gifts to one another as well.

I look forward to seeing the children in the New Year of 2026. Our letter of the week is Kk. It falls in place perfectly for the feast of the Epiphany, this is when the 3 kings arrive to see baby, Jesus. We will talk more about the season of Winter as well.

The children enjoyed hot chocolate and their Party in a Bag snacks. They played with the little trinket that was gifted to them. Oh! the Polar Express traveled to Mexico! We were able to learn about today's feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe with Miss Ramos! The children created a beautiful tilma that they colored and cut-out. This is image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that miraculously appeared on Saint Juan Diego's tilma.

The festivities have been abundant this week. We created pattern socks to use for our classroom Christmas Cards. It is a creative and effective activity to apply the AB pattern. If your child wants to pass out Christmas Cards to his or her classmates, we will use these socks to hold the cards. Next week, we will continue to review letters we have introduced this year thus far. Also work on our Nativity Book. I have posted some pictures from today's events and this from this week.

When we return to school, we are in the Advent Season! This is a special time that we are preparing our hearts for the coming of Jesus, our Savior. The children went home with an Advent Wreath, a craft activity, we completed in class. There are four candles on the wreath. Three are purple and one rose. One candle is lit each Sunday to lead up to Christmas. There are 4 yellow flames on the wreath for the children to "light" the candle. The first purple candle is lit this Sunday. This candle represents Hope in our Savior.

Our week was busy with working on some projects with the leaves we collected from our Leaf Walk. The children have enjoyed learning about the different types of leaves we collected. Then we sorted the different types and counted how many of each type using a large leaf graph. After sorting and counting we then made a Fall Wreath with them. They will be brought home next week. They're adorning our hallway.

Thank you all for your support with our Leaf Walk. The children were well dressed to enjoy the chilly morning air. Our Lord, blessed us with a gorgeous sunny day! We all had a spectacular time with the other children in Pre-K 4 P and taking a closer look at the beauty of the Autumn Leaves. Of course our journey ended with moving our gross motor muscles at the playground. In the afternoon, we gave a good try at painting and stamping a couple of our leaves. I'm just going to say this activity was about the " process" and not the " product".

The Pre-K 4 class knows about the Fatima Children as well possibly your child might want to dress as either Lucia, Francisco, or Jacinta.

Today, I loved having the children all dressed in their Halloween orange , black, and purple attire! We are all looking forward to the dance! This week was a very successful week of celebrating the Saints and learning more about pumpkins! We engaged in making a jack-o-lantern by creating a jack -o- lantern face using shapes we voted on and taking out the seeds. Then we counted the amount of seeds in each of our clump of pulp! We ended up having 567 seeds!

The children's names are Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco. I have included Catholic Icing link on the email. This website has simple Saint Costume Ideas.

Dear Families,
We are starting to incorporate some Autumn Art Activities into our small group time. The children enjoyed drawing and painting a pumpkin this week. I have posted some pictures of them working on this project. Also, in the month of October we dedicate ourselves to praying a rosary more often because October is dedicated to our Blessed Mother. Both preschool classes are creating a rosary by painting paper beads with watercolors. Then children will build the rosary with these beads while learning to pray a decade of rosary. Then we will display it on our bulletin board along with our painted image of Mary, our Blessed Mother.

We have had a great week learning the sound of the letter Ff and learning how to write it using Fundations. The children are impressing Miss Ramos and I with their math sense. We have some solid counters that know that the last number counted is How Many. Then we have matched up the number with the counted amount. Today the children have a parent information handout about next week's Math Building Blocks and a small assignment. There is another manila paper and another handout for Week 4 lesson on shapes. The children will be building a toy out of shapes. Please try to return on Monday, September 29.

Thank you all for attendance at Back to School Night. I appreciate your time. It was an opportune time to share with you the daily routine of our day. I enjoyed hearing your thoughts about your children's daily experiences here. The day is active with independent activities, and collaborative activities. I have been reflecting on some comments how some of the children do not have much to say about their day. I know the children have been processing much learning throughout the day and I think that after school the children are taking a brain break.

However, inquiring about the day at a later time, dinner, getting ready for bed, and asking a direct question what activity did you do in Small Groups, Recess / Outdoor Play , or Morning Work ? Did you sing any songs? This delayed time and direct questions might help with learning more about how your child is enjoying his or her day at school.

We had a great first week in preschool! The children are working on learning the procedures of the classroom and fostering school behavior within the classroom and in the hallways. On Thursday, we had our second practice fire drill and the children seemed to move a little quicker. Yes, we are making progress. It clearly showed today with our first Acushnet Fire Station Drill. The children did great!

At Morning Work we have been learning how to make our first letter of our name using manuscript paper. That is the same paper that went home with you at Orientation for your child/children to practice his or her name.

At small groups we've been talking about our names and what letter starts our name. We read the story, Designed by God so I Must Be Special. Then the children tried to use shapes to draw a self-portrait. This activity went well. I learned they know pretty well this aspect of Geometry. The portraits developed into portraits of themselves and the people they love, their family. We've been learning in Character Strong about kindness. The children are showing many times a day acts of kindness. Next week, we continue with Kindness and not using the word, kill.

We are learning how to be a student at meeting, calendar, and story time, as well. The children are learning and responding well. I've noticed that responding to a teacher when call in some children is not on the first time. I am working to improve the children to respond most times the first time when his or her name is called. Also, taking turns to talk.
