March News!
Tentative Happenings in our Class

Week of March 4 - 8
As we breeze into the windy month of March, we will be learning about how  air moves objects. It is said that March comes in like a LION, and goes out like a LAMB.  We will be graphing the weather on school days and comparing the number of days with blustery cold weather (lion),to those calm warmer days (lamb).   Our letter this week is the letter “Q”. 

Week of March 11 - 15
  Our letter for this week is the letter “R”. We will be learning about Rockets and Spaceships as we begin our adventure into Outer Space.  In Art we will be making some very cool robots. March 17th is St Patrick’s Day.  We will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on Friday.  We will hear the story of St. Patrick, and enjoy a special green snack.

Week of  March 18 - 22
This week should be “Out of this World”.  We will continue our learning adventure into Outer Space.  We will be learning about the Sun, Moon, Planets, and Stars. We will pretend to be Astronauts, and “Blast Off” into Outer Space. .Happy SPRING!!  Hopefully, by now we are enjoying some nice Spring – like  weather.  Our letter this week is the letter “S”.  We will continue preparing for Easter as we Pray More, Give More, Love More.  
In addition, we will be busy creating some beautiful Easter artwork.                      
Week of March 25 - 27
This week we will learn about Holy Week.  On Wednesday, we will have a celebration in preparation for Easter.  We will enjoy a special snack of eggs, matzos, bread, grapes, and jelly beans as we learn about the Last Supper.  Sr Kathy will join us for the Easter story and more special songs.  We will not be introducing a new letter this week.  We wish you all a beautiful and Blessed Easter.

Reminder: No School Friday, March 29th due to Good Friday

Miss Beth’s Final Note
Throughout the season of Lent, Sr Kathy will be coming into our class and 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.
           
            This month we will begin working on writing our names.  We will also be encouraging more self- help skills and independence.  We continue to encourage and reinforce the “I can do it!!!” attitude. In the words of one of our sweet students, “Laughter makes hard things easier”.
                       
Sincerely,

                                    Miss Beth & Miss Joanne
