NEW MONTH! NEW SEATS! NEW JOBS!

Week of: February 6, 2023 

Last week: We had a great four and a half days together!

Catholic Schools Week was a blast! We were busy with Masses, tours, assemblies, prayer services, Curriculum Night, Kids' Day, Teachers' Day, and much more! It was all so awesome.

In religion, we learned about St. Blaise. St. Blaise's feast day is February 3rd. He blessed people's throats and cured them. We got our throats blessed at Friday's Mass. It was awesome!

In fundations, we focused on our short vowel sounds. We reviewed short vowel a, e, i, o, and u. The children were assessed on Friday. Please continue to review the sounds with the children. The vowels are so important! Without them, we don't have words!

In reading, we listened to Groundhog stories and practiced reading and writing.

In math, we worked on Groundhog numbers and ten frames. It was a great review!

Our focus was Dental Health during the month of February. We watched videos, played interactive games, and had a hygenist visit us and teach us about the importance of taking good care of our teeth.

The groundhog saw his shadow... six more weeks of winter! We watched the video on the SmartBoard, read books, wrote about it, and completed a project that the children created their own burrows! They came out awesome!

Our Books in a Bag is going great! Thank you for your support and cooperation!

It was a fabulous week of excited boys and girls! 
Kids' Day proved these kids to be so fun and so amazing. The children were excited rooting for their team color (blue vs. white), plus enjoyed BINGO, Hot Potato, Freeze Dance, and ice cream! We had the best day!

And, Kimmy was our Star of the Week. She completed an awesome owl poster and brought in a really cool doll. She did a great job presenting and explaining it all. Thanks, Kimmy!
We celebrated Brady's half birthday on Friday. Thanks for the delicious cupcakes, Brady! The children enjoyed choosing vanilla or chocolate!
