Kindergarten Update
Dear Parents, February 26,2021
The students began the Lenten season with our Ash Wednesday Mass. Throughout the Lenten season, we will incorporate various symbols and read Bible stories that emphasize how to live as friends of Jesus and how to grow as a child of God. As a family, you may want to discuss how acts of kindness and friendship can be shown not only at home but also while they are here at school.We will continue to use of the Zones of Regulation, adding new tools to help students calm down and stay focused. Incorporating the use of music, breathing techniques, and meditation into our classroom will begin on a regular basis.
We welcome a new student to our Kindergarten class. Ruth Elliott will be in the Afternoon Cohort! Welcome Ruth!
