PRE-K 4 NEWS!
JUAN DIEGO ACADEMY MARCH 8, 2015
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Dear Parents,
As we know this coming Saturday March the 12th, is our Crab Feed/Auction at 6:00 pm. We hope to see all of you at this event.
Also we want to remind you to start saving the egg shells and place them back in the egg carton to bring to school on Holy Week. Each child should have a dozen collected by then.
Reminders:
• All Mass school on Thursday 9 am
• Show and tell for this Friday 11-18 SCHOOL STORE TODAY!
• Friday Spirit Gear dress and nice jeans or uniform pants.
• Trimester 2 ends on March 9th. Report Cards will be send home on the 16th.
Let’s remember Lent is a season for soul searching and repentance. In our class we are observing a quiet lunch time on Fridays. This is a way to sacrifice and show our love for Jesus Christ as we journey in our Religion studies towards his Crucifixion and Death on the cross.
Science. Weather and changes in Spring: Science experiment and observation with budding branches and magnifying glasses. Children will draw the changes from one day to another. ¡Marzo, si al comienzo es cordero, al final fiero! “March comes in like a lion and leaves like a lamb”.
Prayer: This week we are praying for Mr. Paul’s speedy recovery from open heart surgery. Praise God he is doing well. We are praying for children who suffer from hunger and lack shelter around the world.
Curriculum News:
• Math: Spatial relationships. Practice with the children that some words are used to tell a listener where something is located. Children will be tracing the number 7.
• Religion: We will read the Bible story of Jirus’s Daughter and the lesson of Allelu! We celebrate Together. The children will discuss various types of celebrations and will learn that the Mass is a holy celebration.
• Estrellita Phonics: Review all letter sounds to begin the lesson. The letters T,t is our focus for this week. Children will learn new words that begin with these consonant sounds. Children will be tracing and writing the letter forms and learning songs related to the letter sounds. Teacher will do storytelling related to the letter sound.
We hope you have a very nice weekend.
Blessings,
Sra. Raquel L., Sra. Farías and Sra. Laura P.
