Welcome to Pre-K 1!

I want to welcome everyone to our class! I am very excited and I am looking forward to working together with you to help your child reach their highest potential.  Please find attached below the PowerPoint I presented this morning during our Parent Orientation Meeting.

Please click here:  Parent Orientation for Mrs. Rodriguez Pre-K 1 Class

Supply List: Add 2 reams of copy paper

 Dear Parents, 

I apologize but I forgot to add to both supply lists for the 4 yr. old's and 3 yr. old's: 2 reams of copy paper.  This is very important as this paper we use to make copies for classwork and homework activities and we also use it for art activities.  If you can please add this to the supply list I will greatly appreciate your help. 

Thank you, 

Mrs. Rodriguez

Pre-K 1 Supply List for the 3yr. old and 4 yr. old Students

 Dear Parents,

Welcome to Pre-K 1!  I would like to take this time to introduce myself.  My name is Elizabeth Rodriguez.  I am beginning my 22nd year as an early childhood educator and for the last 17 years I have been working within the Catholic Schools of the Archdiocese of New York. This will be my 12^th year at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School and I am committed to providing a solid, well-rounded, academic program, in a caring, nurturing environment for your child.  

If you have chosen to register your child into my class, I know that you value the importance of a high-quality early learning catholic education.  Pre-K will be one of the greatest milestones your child will reach. This important milestone will help guide your child and they will enter the Pre-K 4 yr. old class and the Kindergarten class ready to learn next year.  It is also the most important foundation to prepare them to thrive in elementary school and beyond.

I know this school year will be a different kind of year as the 3 and 4 year old Pre-K students will be merged together.  This will be a wonderful experience for both groups as each child will learn to their highest potential.  I also realize that we are living in a different kind of world with the pandemic but I promise you that I will care for your children and make sure they are safe as they continue to learn the importance of washing hands and keeping masks on.  With God’s protection He will see us all through this school year healthy and safe.

Please find attached the needed supplies for this school year.  I will meet with all parents via Zoom for our Parent/Teacher meeting before school starts to discuss with you our class regulations, curriculum, schedule, and answer any questions or concerns you might have.  I will also continue to provide any important information through this blog throughout the entire school year.  I look forward to meeting you all!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Rodriguez
