Spring is here!!

The snow is finally melting and almost all gone!  Spring is finally here!  I'm looking forward to warmer weather and no more snowpants!!  =)

Last month was busy with our 'Day with Dads'...I was so happy to see that EACH and every child had a dad or special friend that was able to come that afternoon!  The children and dads/friends had a lot of fun first making a Mother's Day present, then making a card and finally having a treat of donuts and juice!  Thanks to all that were able to come and participate!  I look forward to seeing moms and friends on our 'Moments with Moms' day in May.  We'll make a Father's Day gift, make a card and then have a treat of muffins and juice.

May has arrived and I just can't believe how fast the school year has gone!  We have been so busy in our classroom with all of our learning!  This past week we were able to finish up our MAPS testing!  I'm so proud of all of the Kinders....they really showed some wonderful growth throughout the year.  I will be able to share the results of your child's MAP test soon.  =) 

There are a lot of things on the calendar for this month!  I will continue to send out weekly notes to keep everyone updated and reminded of things happening this month. 

Our busy schedule begins next week when OLL celebrates Week of the Young Child!!
Monday: Old West Day
Tuesday:  Circus Day
Wednesday: Camping Day
Thursday:  Pirate Day
Friday:  Animal Day

Be sure to check your child's folder for a detailed note about each day!  Grades Pre - 1 will be celebrating these days throughout the week in their classrooms!  I'm excited to do lots of fun activities with the Kinders this week!

We are also getting ready for our FIRST time ever helping out with Liturgy!  That Liturgy with be on May 28th at 9 AM.  I hope that you can join us for this special occasion!  We will also be joined by Bishop Christenson!  =)

I will continue to update as the month goes on and we get closer to the end of the year!  I'm very excited to get started on this year's Kinder DVD...using pictures from the very first day of school to the end!  Each family will receive a copy of the DVD as a gift from me! 

Thanks for stopping by!!  Enjoy the weekend and stop back often as I will update this again later in the week!
