                               Saint Andrew School: 
 Building a culture of life, and a civilization of love through faith and knowledge

Hello Pre-K 4 Parents!
Happy Autumn!  The children have been doing a wonderful job getting to know the classroom routine and procedures!  They seem very excited to be in Pre-K and that makes us very happy. :) For those that are struggling with writing their name, please continue to practice this skill at home.  The month of October is going to be a busy one with themes such as Shapes, Feelings, Community Helpers, and of course Halloween!!!  We will also be discussing fire prevention and safety tips during Fire Prevention Week.  This is the week of October 4th.  We have a local fire company coming on the 13th to talk to the children about fire safety.  We know the children will be very excited about this!  

In Religion, we will be finishing up Unit 1 with the theme God Made Helpers. During the first week of October, we will focus on the Feast Day of the Guardian Angel and the Feast Day of St. Francis of Assisi. We will also move into Unit 2 with our first lesson being God Made Churches.  We have been working a little bit at a time in our Handwriting Books focusing on tracing in various directions (top to bottom, left to right, etc...).  Our letters this month will include T, A, S, and P.  

Our Halloween Parade and Party will be on Friday, October 29th.  Please have your child come to school wearing their costume over their clothes. We will have our parade in the schoolyard shortly after they arrive around 8:20.  After our parade, we will help the children get out of their costumes.  Our party will be at 10:00.  Our Homeroom mom will send out information about the party and what items are needed for the party.  Your child does not need to bring in a snack that day unless you would prefer he/she eats something other than what would be provided at the party.  There will be no school on Monday, November 1st (All Saints Day) and Tuesday, November 2nd (Teacher Professional Development).

                                                          Thank You and God Bless,
