Welcome!

Dear Pre-K families,
        We are so excited to welcome you to our St. Joseph School family and our PreK program!  Next year will be filled with fun and learning as we grow in God’s love and learn to share God’s love with others!  Please use mstanbrook@sjshanoverpa.org to contact Miss Michaela.  Over the summer, we will try to check our email weekly.
        To help everyone prepare for Pre-K next year, we’d like to take time to address a few of our most frequent questions.

What time are my child’s classes? 
  • PreK 3 meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  Drop off time is 7:40 – 8:00 AM.  Dismissal is at 11:00 AM. 

“How can I get my child ready for PreK?” 
  • Practice following simple instructions.
  • Have a “Packed lunch” together.  
  • Help your child learn to communicate their needs.
  • Practice getting dressed, including shoes and jackets
  • Practice using the restroom independently (including wiping)
  • Create a “goodbye routine”

“What will my child be learning?”    
  • Using play, song, movement and a variety of other activities, the children will develop many skills.
  • Religion --  God’s love for us, how to share God’s love with others, and how to pray.  PreK 3 uses a program called “God Made Me.”
  • PreK 3 -- Social Skills (sharing, listening to directions, manners, etc.), Fine Motor Skills (strengthening our fingers to get ready to write), colors, shapes, and be introduced to numbers and letters.
  • All of the PreK children will be introduced to many science and social studies themes. 

“What does my child need to bring?” 
  • Most supplies will be provided by us.  We will create "wish lists" for miscellaneous items throughout the year.
  • PreK 3 are asked to have a bookbag.  They will be given a folder.
  • Miss Michaela would like each child to bring a container of disinfecting wipes and a box of tissues
  • Extra set of clothes that can be kept in the classroom (pants, T-shirt, underwear and socks).
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY – a positive attitude and excitement to learn!

We hope you will have a safe and fun filled summer.  We are looking forward to a great year together now that your child is “O-fish-ally” a Preschooler!
                                                                         
​                                                                           God bless,
                                                                           Mrs. Michaela Stanbrook
