Welcome to Pre-School at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Academy!
The focus of our Pre-school program is to help children adjust to the school setting. We learn to listen and follow directions. We learn about being patient and how important it is to wait our turn and speak one at a time.
We work on developing social skills, like sharing, compromising, taking turns and interacting appropriately with other children.
Academically, we learn about colors, shapes, letter recognition and numbers. We learn about the calendar: days, months, seasons and holidays. Spiritually, we learn that God made us and loves us. We introduce simple prayers. We explore the world around us by learning how things grow and evolve. We plant seeds and watch them grow and we watch the transformation of caterpillars into butterflies in our classroom.
Wide Open School is a free collection of the best online learning experiences for kids curated by the editors at Common Sense. There is so much good happening, and they are there to gather great stuff and organize it so teachers and families can easily find it and plan each day.
