•      Hi, my name is Denise O'Longaigh and I am currently entering my 12th
  year as Holy Family's preschool teacher. I grew up in Dublin, Ireland where I began my career working with young children. I am Montessori trained and have over 20 years of experience working in early development. I have been a teacher in countless countries including Ireland, Australia, England and the United States. I am the mother of four children and two dogs. Outside of school I enjoy yoga, cooking, reading, traveling, and attending my children's high school sports activities.

  Our classroom is designed to allow the students to explore letters and numbers on a weekly basis through art, science, math and literacy experiences. We offer a weekly Spanish class taught by our Spanish teacher that includes stories, vocabulary and learning how to count. Every week our eight grade class comes over to visit and share stories and books with each student. We also participate in P.E. class once a week. Our first month has set the pace for the remaining school year. Our theme this year is Super Heroes. We are looking at what virtues Super Heroes possess and instilling these values throughout the year. For the month of November we will begin our social justice unit and talk about how we can make a difference. We will also explore working with patterns throughout the classroom environment. O.M.S.I. will join to talk about being a scientist!!
