EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER 

The St. Matthew Preschoolers had a busy week!  Each classroom continued their investigation of Fall. The 3's Classroom used their five senses to explore apples. The highlight was when the students got to taste a variety of apples and vote on their favorite one! The 4's Classroom focused on trees and leaves. The highlight was when each student created their own leaf print out of salt dough, created patterns with leaves, and used engineering skills to create leaf

structures.  In Jolly Phonics, the children discovered the Letter "I". In Religious Studies, the Preschoolers learned about Jacob's Dream.

Upcoming Dates:

October 22nd- St. Matthew Sponsored Fall Festival

(The St. Matthew Early Childhood Staff will be hosting the games!)
