Happy New School Year!

Welcome to all of our preschool families!  I am so glad you were able to locate and view our classroom blog.  Miss Hannah, as well as all of our other teachers and I, are so passionate about the work we do with your children.  One of our goals as teachers is to communicate your child's learning experiences with you all, so that you truly feel apart of their educational path.  We love celebrating your children for exactly who they are and for all the efforts they make at school.  I hope you might see this blog as a form of valuable communication, as well as a way to celebrate your child's growth here at Mount Calvary Preschool.  I try to post every Friday, but I apologize in advance for any time I might miss an upload.  Please feel free to share the blog URL with grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.  This blog is for you and your child and I invite you to share it with anyone you love!

For those of you who are already familiar with our classroom blog and have been checking for new updates, I apologize that I haven't posted anything from the new year yet.  I wanted to give us a couple weeks to get the ball rolling.  That being said, the children have been adapting beautifully to the new school year!  They show growth daily and I'm really looking forward to all that is to come!

This week we focused on the letter B.  We made binoculars, created a spider web, went on a bug hunt, and played with bubbles.  We also made pretend bugs out of craft supplies, and again with pretzels, M&Ms, and sugar cookies.  If I have learned one thing from my time here at Mount Calvary, it is that preschool children LOVE bugs and are absolutely fearless when it comes to anything creepy or crawly.  It is such a reminder of how every creation God makes is beautiful-I love watching them appreciate every detail of this world.  This week we also had our first science lesson with Miss Brigid.  Thank you Miss Brigid for such an awesome lesson and for devoting your time to our children!

Here are some fun photographs from our week:

Science rocks!  Thank you Miss Brigid!

 We are so thankful to have your children with us at Mount Calvary this school year.  Here's to a great year of frienship, learning, and happiness!

Peace and joy,
Miss Brooklyn
