Dear Parents, 

 I am very blessed to be your child's teacher this school year. I am sure this will be a beautiful and productive year. Our school journey will be a wonderful one full of so many fun experiences as your child prepares for Pre-K. We will be learning about holidays, shapes, letters, size, seasons, colors, numbers, the calendar, and so much more throughout our school year. Your child will learn how special and unique we are to God. We will pray, learn, play, and grow together as a school family. We will thank God for our friends and families. Children will learn to be kind and caring with each other as we go through our journey together.

The children will make beautiful friendships in school during all these months in our classroom. We will be beautifully practicing our classroom rules and daily routines all year.  We will focus on being little followers of Jesus during our school year. The little ones will learn and understand the importance of daily prayer. During the school year the children will be giving thanks to God for our families, friends, and all that God gives us as we pray together in class. The children will  learn how special they are to God.  The children will be praying, learning, playing, and continue to grow together as a school family daily. The children will practice kindness, sharing and caring daily with their peers in school during all our school days. The little ones will also be working on the alphabet, numbers, counting activities, and our religion program in class this school year.  We will be reading many new stories and learning so much in the upcoming weeks. We have many fun activities planned during this beautiful new  month for your child. Your little ones will have a very busy few weeks ahead as we continue to work and practice our routines, daily crafts and activities.  We will learn our colors, shapes, the alphabet, kindness, gratitude and new prayers this new month. Our class will learn more about spring, Easter, Jesus, Lent, Friendship, Dental Health, nature ,good deeds, and demonstrate gratitude to God daily in school as we prepare for this new month. We will be learning about spring this month and begin to work on special spring and Easter crafts. We will also be learning our new prayers, spring and Easter songs, singing our routine songs and learn new nursery rhyme songs in our upcoming weeks. We will be reading fun new stories and will learning so much more in the upcoming weeks. Welcome April!
