Hello Wonderful Families,
I apologize for not getting updates to you sooner. I have not been feeling well this week and have been trying to rest early in the evening. For some reason, I am suffering from some pretty severe headaches that tend to wipe out my energy. Again, sorry for my delay.
SPRING BREAK
I hope your Spring Break was enjoyable and restful. At the beginning of the week, the children shared some fun things they did during their break. It sounds like a wonderful week had by all families. I was so glad to see all my students back though, I missed them all!
HOLY WEEK:
This week was wonderful week. All classes touch on Holy Week in some form. In the SEALS and PENGUINS, we used lots of story-telling and art to talk about Jesus and Holy Week. In the POLAR BEARS, we used Resurrection Eggs, the Stations of the Cross and Tomb Cookies to discuss all about Holy Week. The Tomb Cookies were not liked by all but was a really wonderful lesson in the making of them!
Easter Bunny even showed up and gave all classes a fun little hunt and some treats!
It is my hope that all our lessons and stories made some impact on your sweet little people in how beautiful Holy Week and the Resurrection is! I do know many of the students were excited to go to Holy Thursday mass and even asked eachother if they were going! I love it!

I wanted to extend my gratitude to all the moms and dads that donated Clorox wipes as well as those who donated the potting soil, flower seeds, and small cups! We will be planting as part of our Spring theme when we come back from Easter holiday. Thanks for all you do!
