Pre-K 4 (B)

Welcome to Mrs. Marnie's class!

Week of April 23, 2019

Happy Easter!  i hope you enjoyed your Easter Holiday break with your families!  We will celebrate the joyous Easter miracle with the reminder of Jesus’ great love for us all.   

Our theme of the EARTH  is underway this week with many hands on activities and stories on how we can take care of the earth as the world celebrates Earth day. 
 

Please note that there is a change to the pre-K 4 alphabet letter presentation on the printed April calendar that was sent home earlier this month:  Letter Y will be presented the week of April 29th followed by letter Z the next week.  

Easter Bonnet/Cap Parade: Wednesday, April 24th at 9:15 a.m.

The children are asked to create a bonnet or hat to wear for the parade (with the help of Mom or Dad).  In the past children have added plastic eggs, bunny ears, Easter grass, and colorful ribbons to a baseball cap, party hat, headband, or older bonnet.  We look forward to many colorful, creative, and fun bonnets and hats to celebrate the new life that the spring season brings and the joy of the promise of new life with Jesus through the Easter miracle.  (Your little one should wear his or her usual school attire for the parade.)

Hats and bonnets may be brought in to school on Tuesday, April 23rd or Wednesday, April 24th.  Please be sure your child’s hat has his or her name on it.  We will start the parade at 9:15 a.m., weather permitting.  The parade will begin at the Bond Avenue doors with a group photo opportunity, a song and poem, then proceed along the sidewalk around to the front of the school.  All are welcome to attend!

Week of April 15, 2019

Happy Easter!!  Please note, there is a change in our calendar for this week.  Since this is a short week , we will not be introducing a new letter.  We will be introducing the letter Y for the following week.  For Easter week we will continue to talk about Holy Week, giving special attention to Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.  

On Tuesday, April 16 we will be celebrating the Feast of St. Bernadette.  On this day we will be gathering with our prayer partners for a  fourth grade for a special activity.  

On Wednesday, April 17 is our morning retreat for the students.  Our friends will rotate classrooms with the Kindergarten and the other preschool class for variety of Easter activities. 

We will have a busy week with a variety of Easter activities.  Our friends will have fun with our egg hunts that work on number and letter identification and matching lower and upper case letters.  During art we wil be cutting, gluing and fingerpainting Easter art.   In our small groups our friends will have egg races, Easter dice games, playdough bunnies, hide and seek with our class bunny and Easter egg Bingo!
