January 23 & 25

Dear Parents,

If you could please help us out during drop off time by reminding your child to utilize the little bins on the floor for hats and mittens that would be great.  Doing so will help us out at dismissal time. 

We are moving on to the letter N this week.  We will introduce the children to the story of Noah's Ark.  The children will assist me in special ways when I read the story.  We will also learn a song about Noah.  Noah's Ark is always an engaging Old Testament Bible story for children!



We will also learn a little about narwhals.  Each student will create an adorable narwhal of his/her own.  

Sometimes, when we cannot go outside we play gym games in the cafeteria.  This week we will play "The Name Game."  The kids sure do seem to enjoy these types of activities!


Again, here are the details for our upcoming Catholic Schools Week...
