~ We will continue various name recognition and fine motor activities as well.
~ We will continue to have a focus letter each week as we travel the alphabet from A-Z. It is important to note that we will review the letter's phoneme(s), how to write it properly, and discuss whether the letter is a consonant or vowel, and chart words that begin with that letter. For this week's letter, we will be focusing on the letter, Qq. We will work on the recognition, formation, and signing of the letter.

~ This week, we will continue our journey into the season of Lent. Through this season, we look to God to lead us closer to His Son, Jesus. We will also explore how children can participate in Lent—not necessarily by "giving something up," but by choosing to pray more and give alms to those in need. By offering extra prayer and love to others, we draw ever closer to the heart of Christ.
Philosophy and Curriculum
Our philosophy is that through our teaching, we ensure that each child is loved, nurtured and safe while growing in all areas of development. Not only will the children learn academic skills but also a strong, age-appropriate understanding of our Catholic faith. We are strong believers in implementing an emergent style of lesson plans early in the school year while we get to know each child’s area of interest and understanding. Throughout the school year there will be guided lessons that are individualized to meet each child's specific needs.
Our curriculum is one that follows the West Virginia Early Learning Standards through the use of the state chosen, Creative Curriculum. Ongoing assessments and observations of the children are conducted during the school year. We believe that having open communication between teacher and families is needed to achieve a successful year for your child! Parent/Teacher conferences will be held during the school year, in addition to these, we, Pre-K 4 Teachers, will make ourselves available to meet with you if you have further questions or concerns. We look forward to a wonderful, fun and exciting school year!
God Bless!
