Happy Holy Week!



Happy Holy Week from Kindergarten!

This week I sent home your child's Station of the Cross booklet. We have been discussing the Stations of the Cross for the past few weeks in preparation for Easter.
On Holy Thursday we viewed a presentation by the Grade 7's on the Stations of the Cross. This re-enactment helps us to remember what Easter is all about.
I have explained to the students how the Grade 7's performed the Stations of the Cross and how it is only acting. This portrayal of the stations can be quite powerful and evoke emotions in the children.All students enjoyed the presentation by the Grade 7's and showed their best behavior. Way to go Kindergartens!

We also celebrated Holy Thursday with Primary stations. We visited grades K-3 in small groups and participated in activities to remind us how important Lent and Easter are.




Bunny Grass Heads!
We have created bunny's and grown grass to explore how plants grow. Encourage your child to explain to you how seeds grow as this is also part of our current Earth Day theme in class right now. 








We have finished the Alphabet!
Yippee we have finally finished the Alphabet! This means next Friday we will be having an alphabet party complete with a treasure hunt , activities and snacks. If you would like to help with some of the prep activities for this day please see Mrs. Lemire asap! :)
