Dear Parents,
The children enjoyed looking at and learning about the sky and all that is in it. They learned about the effect that the sun has on us, examined the globe to find out where we are in this huge world of ours, and they learned about the moon, the planets,and the weather. They also enjoyed watching our calendar each day and deciding if the day was a lion day (rough weather) or a lamb day (pleasant weather).
Now we are beginning a study of the farm. We will learn about the different animals on a farm and about farms where crops and trees are grown.
We continue to use the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. The children are beginning to better understand why Jesus called himself the Good Shepherd and his unchanging care for us, the “sheep” of his flock. We also continue to look at the Liturgical Calendar and recognize that there are different seasons in the Church year and the meaning of the different colors. The children have also been doing well going to Church with their 7th grade buddies. We will begin to talk about the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus and why we celebrate this glorious season of the Church.
The children are showing growth in their ability to do more things for themselves. Almost all of them have learned to zip their own jackets, to clean up after themselves, and to put materials away where they found them. It is so good to watch the growth!
