                   Happy Valentine's Day  Bishop Tobin will be here on Tuesday to celebrate Mass.  It is a full dress uniform day .  No gym clothes.

We will be going out for recess everyday(weather permitting).  Please dress your child for the weather conditions.

The Kindergarten curriculum is everything that happens to the children from their first step into the building, until the time they leave.  The way they are greeted, how they are instructed, and how they interact with their peers, all plays a part in forming their attitude and motivation in and out of the classroom. I believe in creating a positive kindergarten environment that nutures continual progress for each child.  Every child is ready to succeed at something, nd in partnership we can make that happen.  I am looking forward to teaching your children this year.

We start our day with our morning meeting.  Our Star Helper for the week does the weather, calendar and gumball counting machine.  I read to the children from the children's Bible called "Special Blessings." Each lesson has a moral.  The children learn about how much God loves them, andhow wonderfully they were created.  After our discussion we begin our first lesson of the day. 

Everyday I will be reading a chapter from the book series Junie B. Jones.
