March 2021

 

Spring is coming. Let us look forward to more beautiful days. 

The Pre-kindergartens are always looking forward to this season and we are excited about it. Certainly, the year is going by so fast. And the students in Pre-K are really growing up so fast just like the trees and flowers - soon they will have branches full of leaves and flowers. And just like the bees in the garden, the Pre-k's are keeping themselves busy. They are growing up so quickly and before you know it, they will be ready and off to Kindergarten. 

Here is what has been happening in Pre-K:

They are going over their alphabet - uppercase and lowercase. They are learning to write both letters. They are also continuously learning the letters of their name. They have been practicing answering the questions with Yes and No. They will continue reviewing letters, numbers, shapes, patterns, alongside with the tracing, writing, coloring, cutting, and gluing. They also do crafts for different seasons or occasions. 

 This month we will be looking at the season of Spring. We might also be doing St. Patrick’s Day activities and learn what the season of Lent is.

We are continuously making our school and our students safe and healthy. Continue to wash hands, hand sanitize and social distance. Don't come to school when feeling unwell. 

I hope everyone will have a blessed Lenten season. Here are some days to remember:

Friday, March 19 – In-Service NO SCHOOL

Monday March 29 - Friday April 2 – Spring Break

Wednesday April 7 - Classes Resume for Pre-Kindergarten

Take care always.

Goodbye January! Hello February!

"Every new month is like a piece of paper and only you decide what would be written on it."

February is another month full of fun and learning. 

On the second week of February, we will be celebrating Catholic Schools Week. It will be from February 8th - 12th, 2021. Each day there will be a theme, they are as follows: 

Monday - February 8 - N.U.T day - Tropical Day

On the third week of February, is the beginning of Lent. Ash Wednesday is on February 17. We will be talking about the importance of this day as well. 

On the fourth week of this month - February 22-26, 2021, is “I Love to Read” month. I would like to ask each student to bring two of their favorite story books to share with the class. One is for a book that they will be exchanging with their classmate. Once books were brought to school, it will be staying in the library for a few days then students can bring it home. The other book that they will bring will be read in the class. 

February is also Valentine’s Day. We will not be giving out any treats to each other. We will be doing Valentines themed activities.
