First Tuesday of March!

I hope you each had a restful and warm extra long weekend!!

We are looking forward to our most sacred season of Lent starting on Wednesday!  Today we celebrated Mardi Gras with a Kings' Cake!!

This week in kindergarten we will be:

-preparing for the start of the season of Lent (a time to grow as God's children) as we learn about Ash Wednesday and participate in the Ash Wednesday Mass
-working with the consonant 'Vv'
-in math: working with patterns and ABBC patterns, new math manipulative: tangrams, and identifying left and right
-in science: diving deeper into the study of volcanoes and making our own volcano!
-in social studies: wrapping up our unit on our country and state of Texas as we write welcome letters to the Scalabrinian Fathers

Reminders:

This Wednesday is Ash Wednesday (the start of Lent!) and we will be attending Mass at 8:00 a.m.  Please make sure you are at school at 7:45a.m. and that all girls are wearing their jumpers!!

This Friday, March 7th is a HALF DAY of school in which we will dismiss at 12:00 noon.  This is the start of SPRING BREAK which we are out for the week of March 10-14.
