Welcome to Preschool!

Welcome to an exciting year in Preschool!  My name is Ann Gibeau and I will be your child's preschool teacher this year.  We will be exploring and learning so many things this year.  You are invited to stop into the preschool classroom at any time. Our door is always open to you.  We love having visitors!

Our day in preschool consists of many different things.  We always start with Discovery Time where the children are allowed to play and experience all the wonderful toys, games, paints, manipulatives, and books our classroom has to offer.  We do an art project each day.  We also have learning centers and Carpet Time where we discuss our theme and other important educational lessons. We provide a snack each day and an opportunity to work on large motor skills by playing outside or in our gym.  We end each day with a story and prayer.

Throughout the preschool year we will be discussing a different theme each week.  The children love talking about each theme and never seem to have a loss for words on each topic!  Our themes this year are as follows:
