Dear Parents,

Please keep Reading those books and sending in your Reading Logs. Your child is suppose to have 200 Reading Count Points by April 24^th in order to go on Field Trip. If your child began in January your child should have 100 points, all you need to do is read the book and jot the name down on the log. The Field Trip is to be on May 8^th, since this is a Monday, the preschoolers will be able to participate and will not be charged the daily fee for the additional day.

For those children who will be graduating and moving on to Kindergarten, please mark your calendar for May 6^th . The Children will Graduate at the 5 pm Mass. The children will sit as a group and participate in the Mass, the school does provide Cap and Gown. More information will follow in the coming weeks.

We have went through all the Letters of the Alphabet but continue to work on the whole Alphabet every day through songs, workouts, videos, Flashcards, Puzzles, and Theme Activities. Also, everyday we do the same for our Shapes and Numbers. In addition to this throughout the day in play, in line, in the cafeteria, and in Circle Time we work on pattering, more and less, adding, subtracting, sorting, etc.... Last week our Themes were “The Four Seasons” and Spring. We also learned about “The Golden Rule”, “Right and Wrong”, and “The Church Has a Holy Book”, in our Religion Book. We read “Jesus and the Children” in Our Children's Bible and did Sticker Scene. The children love to do the “Hokey Pokey Jesus” and sing the “I Am Special Song”, then we made “I am BeaYOUtiful to God” Necklace and “Armor Of God” foam sticker scene.

This week we are having a different theme each day and covering all the subjects with that Theme. We will be learning all about Our Five Senses and what a special gift they are from God. We will be reinforcing our five senses all week long, they especially loved using them while popping and eating popcorn and making Edible Butterflies. Our other Themes will be Butterflies, Caterpillars, Ladybugs, and Bumble Bees. In Religion we will continue to read several stories in our Children Bible and do activities to go along with them.

The children that will be entering Kindergarten will be testing with Mrs. Eickhoff this week. If you ever have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask.

God Bless!

Miss Marie
