Week of March 30th

Well April is almost here! We are getting closer to Easter and Spring Weather! I hope you all get a chance to enjoy some of the nice weather this week!

In virtual class this week we will be studying:

Monday: Letter Vv and it's phonetic sound.
Vv for Valentine Vv for Valentine (VVV) (VVV) When making the Vv sound be sure not to add a short "a" sound with it and instruct the children it is a "Lip Tickler" meaning they should feel the Vv sound on their lower lip. It's very close to letter Ff which is a "Lip Cooler".

Tuesday: Transportation by Air

Wednesday: The Number 18. 18 is 10 and 8 more.

Thursday: Force and Motion or Gravity

Friday: We had so much fun seeing everyone on Zoom last week that we'd like to try again!
We will be having a Story Time and a Show N Tell for TRANSPORTATION to finish off the unit.
You can show your favorite kind of transportation or if you have made an incline plane, a paper airplane, or a sailboat and would like to show us how it works.

God's Time: This week, the fifth Sunday of Lent is the story of Lazarus. We talk about feelings and friendships. Feelings is a very good topic to discuss with the children at this time in our lives. You can go to pflaumweeklies.com for the Gospel video-Click SEEDS, Weekly Videos (small print) click 3/29/2020 then click the 1st one -Gospel Reading and Reflection for kids.
Pflaum has also sent me a link that I will forward onto you so you can print our weekly series if you'd like.

Lenten Prayer: We adore you O Christ and we bless You. Because by Your holy cross You have redeemed the world. AMEN

Looking ahead to the week of April 6th.
- Some Review of Letters and Numbers
-Wed. 4/8 an Easter Hat Show N Tell on Zoom with an Easter Hat Dance Party. Have fun creating a Hat with what you have at home. Please don't risk going out to get supplies. If you really need something I can deliver it to you from my home.

We will be on Easter Break from Thurs. 4/9 (date just added from the diocese) till Sunday 4/19.

Easter Hat Parade: Sorry for the confusion. We were advised to move the Parade and Egg Hunt Up because of Mass at 12:00. When I resent the letter with the time change I realized the second half of the letter no longer pertains since the children will have a normal dismissal time-with a normal Noon Carline and 2:30 Carline.
Our plans will be to have the Parade at 9:00 am with an Egg Hunt to follow. Following the Egg Hunt the children will return to class for their party, prepared for them by the Room Moms.
If it rains we will have the parade in the Big School and NO Egg Hunt. A party will still happen in the classroom for the students.
For the safety of the children please do not take them from the parade line. If you do plan on taking your child home with you after the Egg Hunt/Parade, I will need a note or an email stating who will be taking them by 4/2.

Important Dates:
3/16 Rainbow Day
3/17 St. Patrick's Green Day
3/25 Wacky Wed. and Show N Tell
4/3 Easter Hat Parade at 9:00
