Week Review

We reviewed Palm Sunday by singing a song to praise Jesus; Hosanna to The King.
We introduced Holy Week. We discussed Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. We discussed that God loves us very much. He sent his son, Jesus to die for us and forgive us.
The children put their handprints beside a cross. They glued brown paper on the cross. Jesus loves us this much. 

We introduced St. Bernadette. We learned that Mary, Jesus's Mother, appeared to St. Bernadette. Mary asked Bernadette to pray the rosary, dig for water in the dirt to find a pond, and build a church. We went to the St. Bernadette shrine outside and prayed a Hail Mary. The students colored a picture of St. Bernadette.

We had a special day on Wednesday. It was a retreat day. The children moved from room to room. They had experiences in music, art, stories, and movement. We participated in these activities with Mrs. I's students. The students had fun. 

We played in the gym. We did the bunny hokey pokey. The students enjoy the gym time when the weather outside does not cooperate. We did Easter Yoga.  

We reviewed the numbers 0 - 9. We did some egg and bunny math. 


We were able to get outside for a few days. I love to get the kiddos out to burn off their energy and feel the sun and the wind.


The students are beginning to recognize their names and first letters of their first name. Everyday the students will look for their name on a flower after they unpack in the morning.

We reviewed the letters of their first names and identified them on the alphabet wall. The students will be writing their names.

We are reviewing the rules for the students.
We played Simmon Says to practice listening skills.We played a mirroring game
for students to watch and follow the actions.

We have been introducing sign language to the students.We reviewed letter  signing letter w, m, h, f, j, b, and r,  rainbow, friends, I am Special, red, orange, black, brown,  green, blue, please, and thank you. 

 Coloring helps build eye hand coordination and fine motor control. We ask the students to do their best.

We will be reviewing the procedures for our classroom rules everyday. We discussed not running in our room, using inside voices, keeping our hands to ourselves, hands should not hurt our friends, eating at the tables, resttime,  asking to use the bathroom and taking turns in the class.

We will try to go outside when the weather allows. Please check the weather for proper attire and coats.


We will practice for a firedrill every month.  Please reassure your child we are just practicing so we know what to do. 
We introduced Lock down drill. The students will sit quietly on the floor in the dark.  We will practice every month. 


Every day we try to read a story to the class. The students love the stories. This can be read  at home. It helps the children hear words and sounds, provides some quiet time, and introduces them to letters, words, and print. You can ask questions that happen in the story. It is good time to cuddle.

This week we read The Miracle of Easter, The Night Before Easter, St. Bernadette, and What is Easter,
