What a great week back!

The children had a wonderful time catching up with their friends and talking about everything. Their conversations are priceless.

The children were very excited to start their morning work. This week the children will start using their morning work notebooks.  They will copy the morning message from the board, illustrate the message and read it as a class. This is wonderful  practice for first  grade. 

In religion we put our next page,  "He is Risen" picture in our Bibles. The children illustrated the picture with beautiful colors, reflective of a true celebration. We also discussed St. Bernadette whos feast day is April 16th. St. Bernadette was best known as a Saint who received visions from the Virgin Mary in a cave near Lourdes.  

In reading, the children enjoyed talking about animals that would make good pets. We had fun reading about a boy who choses a red dog from the pet shop and names him Gus. The children quickly picked up on our 2 new sight words, they and of.

 
We read the story "Raindrop Plop". This story is a spirited rhyming text that shares the fun of a little girl who has fun getting wet one rainy, dark day.
The children had fun decorating umbrellas and making a picture of themselves under the beautiful, color filled creations. They look adorable hanging in our room.   

We had fun taking a walk and identifying things that were signs of spring. Everything from buds on trees, beautiful daffodils and tulips, the birds serenading us, the Easter Cross and the warm sunshine.  God is good, He has given us the gift of life and the beauty that surrounds us.
