Thank you to Drea for taking home Everlee this weekend. Did you know she went to a baseball clinic and also had the Scream truck come to her house!  Joey took Everlee mid week and he went bowling with her and played video games. What a fun time she had with both families!!!

We finally caught our Leprechaun WeeWee!! He lived in a water globe! The children were amazed to see him!!! We had a coin, necklace and bracelet hunt which WeeWee left us on our playground early Monday morning. Thanks to all who participated! On Saint Patrick's day we also had  green grapes and green cookies  (thanks Logan) and our centers were all green. We used green Saint Patrick stampers in the writing center, we made a green construction paper craft, we used green chalk on tile boards, we played with all green table toys and we used green Play-doh in our Play-Doh center! 

In Religion we learned about Saint Patrick who is the Patron Saint of Ireland. He is known for chasing the snakes out of Ireland! We also learned about Saint Joseph and how he  was the foster father to Jesus, who was a carpenter and also Mary's husband. We continue to write in our Lenten journal.

In Language Arts we learned about the letter Gg who stands for Gus the Leprechaun! We wrote it, traced it, looked for items that began with the letter Gg, we used our white boards and Play-Doh. We completed several Gg papers, watched Gg videos on the Smartboard and picked out the letter Gg. We read a Gg story.

In Math we learned the number 18 by counting number quantities, used our Smartboard, traced and wrote the number 18.

We read our Let's Find out for St. Patrick's Day and did a St Patrick's day freeze dance.
 We will go to 8:00 am Mass this month on March 24. Please join us if you can. Have your child come to school at 7:45 so they can get settled before we leave.
On Thursday it was Very Hungry Caterpillar Day along with the first day of Spring. We read the Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made very hungry caterpillars and went to Sister Jo's class to show them our projects. Her class made a caterpillar as well. We enjoyed sharing our projects with each other. We also did Spring freeze dances and painted Spring flowers.
Thanks to the parents who sent in baby items this week. Monday we will start collecting: Size 6 or 7 diapers and 5T or 6T Pullups.

A note was sent home last Friday about our class trip. If your child is going kindly fill out the permission slip and return asap. Another note was sent home on Wednesday about the Week of the Young Child and Mystery Readers. Please write me a note or email if you would like to come in to read April1-15. 
God Bless,
Mrs. McNulty
