Monday we made cards for the needy to go along with the Blessing bags. The children enjoyed coloring winter things with their 5th grade buddies to make the cards. Blessings bags were rescheduled for a later date. We also began the letter Pp. We learned about how popsicles were made and how ice freezes. We put out two cups of water in the snow with two different amounts of water to see which one would freeze first. We also wrote and traced the letter Pp. We made pretend popsicles out of construction paper and popsicle sticks. We continued to sort various items in our room by size and color. We also played a sorting game online. We started to learn about rhyming words. We have rhyming pictures we put up for us to review in circle time. We will continue to add to them.

Tuesday we have a visit from our families. We made a popsicle craft  picture frame with a  Catholic Schools picture in it. We made a Family banner and drew our families. We played a game where our family had to guess what picture we drew. We sang a few songs to our parents before we  enjoyed a pizza lunch and ice cream.

Wednesday we had a Seminarian, Catholic Sister and a married couple come in to talk about their Vocations for Vocation Day. Each have a very special vocation which they shared with us. We also made Valentine cards for the retired Sisters of Filippini. Our own Kindergarten teacher, Sister Jo will deliver them to her Mother house this weekend.

Thursday was Student Appreciation Day. The children played Bingo with their 5th grade buddies in the cafeteria. They also enjoyed a pretzel snack with them.

Friday was Teacher/Volunteer appreciation day. The teachers were treated to a very nice luncheon provided by the families of SFCS.

Our second class pet, Everlee "the bee" went home with Rosemary this weekend. This is the first time Everlee went home. Each child will get to take her home. Our Winter book continues to circulate among the families.

God bless,
Mrs. McNulty
