Weekly Update
Be the Body of Christ.
Be the Body of Christ.
Another busy week ... we learned about the letter Aa, living and non-living things, clouds and rain and had some fun with patterns. We learned about Palm Sunday - say Hosanna! We had a great Egg Hunt at the playground - with a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny!
In religion this week we will learn about Easter. We will talk about the Easter story and Jesus. On Wednesday afternoon, we will be having some "Jesus time" during the school-wide retreat - doing a craft, a short video about the signs of Easter and a walk to see the crosses on the property. Our Friendzy lessons this month will teach us that I Am Valuable. God made all of us special - and gave us all unique talents and abilities. Our SEEDS Gospel is about Palm Sunday - we will learn about the start of Holy Week. Our Fruit of the Spirit this month is GENTLENESS - kind, calmness and quiet. We will think about how to show GENTLENESS in our classroom and at home. We are looking for those that go out of their way to show GENTLENESS! "Be the Good, See the Good!"
In ELA (English Language Arts) this month, we will explore rhyming with Dr. Seuss. We will read books and work on activities to explore rhyming and nonsense words. Our Letter of the Week will be the letter Ee (continued next week as well). We will sing the ABC's, and discover what the letter looks like and sounds like. We have different activities for each day of the week. Look for the Letters Ee, Aa, Zz, Yy, Xx, Ww, Qq, Vv, Rr, Gg, Ll, Hh, Kk, Cc, Jj, Nn, Pp, Ff, Dd, Ss, Mm, Bb and Tt on signs, boxes of snacks etc.
In Math this month, we will be working on patterns. We will explore and learn color, shape and movement patterns. Look for patterns in your home.
Our Science/SS lessons are now investigating weather. As we move closer to spring, we will take a close look at different types of weather and learn about sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy and windy.

** (NEW) Summer Uniforms begin Monday 3/30 - back to the shorts and t-shirts. Please know that if it is a chilly spring day sweatpants can be worn. The sweatshirt can always be kept in the backpack, in case it is needed instead of a coat.
** (NEW) Thank you for all the eggs! Our Egg Hunt was a success!
**(NEW) Disney Week is coming soon! Wristbands go on sale after Easter $5 each to participate in a week of fun! Buy your wristband April 7-10. Disney Week begins 4/13-4/17...stay tuned!
** Thank you for all your coins for the Make a Wish fundraiser! We did not make it to the next round...but we had fun trying!
** Now that winter is coming to an end (hopefully), we do try to get out to the playground or the blacktop every morning and afternoon. Please send in mittens and hats when appropriate.
** We are fostering independence in Pre-K3 ... we are really good with our backpacks unpacking in the morning. Now it's time for sweatshirt and jacket independence...work with your child at home as well - putting on and taking off their sweatshirt or jacket - even if the sleeves are pulled inside (oh no!). We say, "I can do it!"
** (IMPORTANT!) Please remember to label your child's sweatshirt with their name...they are on and off (and on again...and off again) during the day. Thanks!
** Good school behavior is important - listening and following teacher directions, walking feet, and kindness to others. We are working really hard to make sure everyone has a good day - showing Kindness and Love! Please remind your child about good behavior so we all stay safe and have fun!
