March News!
Tentative Happenings in our Class

Week 1            March 4th & 6th   Ash Wednesday, the 5th, is the first day of Lent!  This week we will be learning about the weather and the many weather changes which occur during the WINDY month of March.  We will be making kites and windsocks for art.  Also, this week, we will be learning the meaning of the positional words "above" and "below".

Week 2            March 11th & 13th We will be reviewing the colors with our rainbow artwork and we will be using fun, colorful props at music time as we learn a new rainbow song.  Also, we will continue practicing our paper cutting skills.  This class is doing great with their scissors!

Week 3            March 18th & 20th   This week we will welcome Spring.  Hopefully, we will be able to enjoy some nice Spring weather!  We will celebrate the feast day of St. Patrick on Tuesday, the 18th.   There will be some "green" treats for our celebration – wear something green!  We will have fun listening to Irish music. 
                        To learn about St. Patrick, listen to the St. Patrick's song on Sr. Kathy's CD.

Week 4            March 25th & 27th   This week we will begin a "new life" theme to welcome spring!  As we welcome spring, I will read the story, "Are you my Mother?" by P.D. Eastman. We are going to be learning about baby animals that are born in the spring.  Watch for some springtime art!  Easter artwork will also begin this week.

Note: Each week throughout the month of March, Sr. Kathy will be sharing stories from the Bible about the life of Jesus.  A coloring sheet will be sent home each week with your child to share these stories with you.

A special Thank You for all the sweet Valentines

Happy Lent!
