     Thank you for all the goodies this week. SMM families sure know how to make teachers feel appreciated!
I feel so blessed to be able to spend my days teaching Kindergarten and sharing in their learning.  As my students grow it is amazing to watch over the years!
     

     The 8th grade Religion class stopped by on Wednesday morning to work in small group to pray the Hail Mary. The Kindergarten always enjoys making a new "Big Kid " friend. The 8th graders enjoy being with the younger children. In religion we learned about Baptism. If you have photos or videos to share with your child they would love to see them. 

     Our caterpillars have changed into a chrysalis. One sadly did not survive being a caterpillar. We shared briefly that does happen in nature that all living thing live and die. We will be watching and waiting for 4 butterflies to emerge sometime in the next week or so.

        Please pack a spare mask or two. The children seem to need to change them at least once a day.  We had a supply of extra that we have given all out. 

     Last Friday I sent home a Summer collection of Scholastic Books. If you are interested in ordering the code is on the back of the order form. All books ordered online are .50 cheaper.
Place book orders by May 7th.

    Show and Tell next week is free choice.  This past week the children were able to write a sentence about their show and tell.  I am very impressed by the skills that are blooming. The reading has taken off.  I will send home the Hard Back Readers soon so your child can practice reading a few short stories to you. Some of the words will be sight words however some are small words to sound out.
