Dear TK parents & family,
Gung Hay Fat Choy! Chuc Mung Nam Moi!
Today we celebrated the Lunar New Year. We read books about it, made dragon masks, and watched a dragon dance. Some of the children were a bit frightened, mostly because of the loud drums being right next to us. Sydney shared a Chinese treat with everyone. Overall it was a fun experience.
Tomorrow we will celebrate the 100th day of school as well as Mardi Gras. Please don't forget to have your children bring in their 100 items.
We will also observe Ash Wednesday this week. Deacon Steve will come to the classroom to distribute ashes. We will talk about this special day and what Deacon will be doing as well as we will be giving each student a CRS rice bowl. Please use the bowl to teach your child about alms giving during Lent. They should be brought back to school during Holy Week.
Valentine's Day will be celebrated this Friday, the 12th. Our room moms have our party planned & organized. Please be sure you child brings a valentine for everyone.
There is no school next Monday, the 15th, in observance of Presidents' Day. Enjoy the holiday weekend.
Even with all these activities, we are still working on our core subjects:
- number 19
- letter O
- sight word "have"
Thank you for the beautiful tokens of appreciation. And as my time here is coming to a close, know each and every one of you will be in my prayers. I know I am very blessed.
In God's grace,
Mrs. Dorie Collins
