Dear Parents,

If you have had a chance to read your Friday Notes, you have learned that I will not be returning as the Pre-School Teacher. I have truly been blessed by God to work with his Greatest Gift, I will miss all the children, and plan to still be involved with the school. At this time though, in my life I believe that this is the best decision for me and my family.

Boy time has been flying by here at school. Last week we were busy learning all about the Letter “Y”. We made them with Magic Nuddles; blew up yellow balloons, played with them in gym and learned about static electricity; practiced with yo-yos; and sang several songs about “Y”. Everyday we do several songs or activities with the whole Alphabet, along with activities and songs about the numbers(counting by 1s, 5s, 10,), shapes, and colors. Last week we also learned all about the penny, color green, the Rainbow, St. Patrick, the Pope, and Lent teaches us to help. We made: Hand Print Shamrock, while learning about the Sign of Cross; Tissue Paper Shamrock; Leprechaun; and “Where will You Hide Your Gold?” pictures. The children enjoyed books about Leprechauns, St. Patrick's Day, and Letter “Y”.

This week we will be learning all about “Z” is for Zero, Zebra, and Zoo. The children Love to exercise along with “Zero the Hero”, and sing with the ZigZag People. We will be learning about the Life Cycle of a Chicken and other animals that come from Eggs. We will be doing egg patterns, counting eggs, making Hand Print Ducks, and visiting the 1^st,2^nd, 3^rd , and 4^th Grade Classrooms to watch the eggs hatch. They were very excited today because several of the eggs hatched. In Religion we will be talking more about Lent and observing the colors in Church and on our Prayer Table, learning about the precious gift of water, and more about Baptism. I still have not received pictures from some Students, so please send those at this time. Please remember to keep reading those books and sending in your Reading Logs.

If you ever have any questions or concerns feel free to contact me at anytime.

God Bless!

Miss Marie
