SEPTEMBER 2021
Pre-K is an exciting and busy time. It is a time to make new friends and learn new things such as literacy, science, math, art, social studies etc.. There will be lots of firsts, for example - leaving mommy and daddy all day, eating lunch in school and daily music and movement. It is a big adjusment for students and parents alike, but we will get through it together!
By June we will be able to say we've worked, played, made new friends, and stayed safe along the way.
I am looking forward to working with you and your child in a child- centered, safe and fun-filled enviroment.The students will be encouraged to learn and grow through play and various activities which will help them develop cognitively, emotionally and socially.
If at any time during the school year you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. You can be assured that we will work closely with you and your child to assure a good, positive and safe experiance at St. Brendan School.
