Kindergarten Promotion Mass @ 8:30 a.m. Last day of school for the kindergarten children |
Wednesday, May 20th is our Kindergarten Promotion Mass
The Mass begins at 8:30 a.m.
Following the Mass, there will be a reception.
In Language Arts we reviewed the sounds for the letters Aa and Oo. We listened for the sounds these letters make in words. We also practiced writing these letters. The children listened to the story, Old MacDonald had a Woodshop. They practiced predicting, recalling and retelling, and naming the characters in the story. We also discussed adjectives, and verbs that add –s. The students read the phonics story, Spin the Top; the student reader, Fix It!; and the decodable reader, Will Cass Come? These stories help the children practice their blending skills and review the high-frequency words.
In Math we continued to practice subtraction. We practiced writing and solving subtraction sentences, subtracting pennies, using the ( ) cent sign, and solving problems by choosing addition or subtraction.
In Religion we honored Mary, the mother of Jesus. Please allow your son/daughter to discuss this booklet with the family.
The Kindergarten Promotional Mass will be held on Wednesday, May 20th. Parents and relatives are invited to attend. The children will sit with their class. Following the Mass, the certificates will be given to the children in church. Afterwards, there will be a reception. The children may leave with their parents after the reception.
It has been a joy and blessing to have all of your children in our classes. We sincerely hope that this past school year has been one of learning and fun. Remember to be safe this summer and we look forward to seeing you as you enter 1st grade in August.
We would like to wish a Happy Birthday to our summer birthdays:
