A Note from Miss Matson

Hello! My name is Elizabeth Matson, I graduated from the University of Hartford in May 2018. This is my third year teaching at Assumption and I absolutely love this community. I have lived in Millbury my entire life and I'm happy to serve my community as a preschool teacher! I look forward to meeting you and your children and spending these wonderful early years with them.

If you have any questions about the preschool program please feel free to contact me.
Our Curriculum
The main goal of preschool is preparing students for many years of success in a school setting.

We focus on:
- social growth,
- learning how to communicate with one another,
- problem solving,
- and how to behave in a classroom setting.
We are using the 'Opening the World to Learning' (OWL) program for reading, writing and math and 'Discovering God's World' for our Religion book.

Busy Bees and Shining Stars
We provide a two year program for students to ensure they are ready for Kindergarten. Throughout the year we will split into 2 groups called the Busy Bees and Shining Stars.

The Busy Bees (3 year olds) will stay in the classroom with Mrs. Morin to learn colors, numbers and more preparing them for their next year.

I will take the Shining Stars (4 year olds) in the Kindergarten classroom, while the K students are at specials, to work with them more in-depth about letters, including writing them with proper form and getting them use to the Kindergarten setting and their expectations for when they get there.

Our Growth and Progress
By the end of the two year program, students will be able to:
- control emotions
  - express their feelings appropriately
  - use words to resolve conflict
- speak clearly and in complete sentences
- display motor skills
  - identify hand preference,hold markers/crayon/ pencil appropriately
  - write their first name independently
- name their colors, shapes and uppercase letters
- numbers from 0 to 30.
- recognize body parts such as shoulders, knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles.
- recognize objects that are similar and different
- words that rhyme
