National Catholic Schools begins with the last Sunday in January. We kicked off the week on Sunday, January 29th with our Annual Open House for NEW FAMILIES. If you have any friends or family who are looking for a preschool, please let them know how much you love our school.
There are many fun activities planned for our students during the Catholic Schools week such as Hat Day, Super Hero/Princess Day, Mixed Matched Sock Day, Pajama Day and Popcorn & Movie Day.
Look for more information on our website, in your child's weekly newsletter and in your child's backpack.
Happy Catholic Schools Week!

Kindergarten Kapers
The Kindergarteners are doing an awesome job in Language Arts. They know all of the letter sounds and have learned most of the short vowel sounds and rules for short vowels. In February, we will finish up our space unit and begin learning about Community Helpers and the different jobs they do. In math, we will be learning how to record data on graphs and we will begin adding using plus and equal signs. This has been a great month of learning!

PreKindergarten Press
We began the month of January sharing our favorite Christmas present during Show 'N Tell and reviewing our five senses. We talked about animals, listened to water sounds and made rainbows. We learned about the letters G, W and P and the numbers 9 and 10. We practiced identifying our last names. During the last week of January, we celebrated Catholic Schools Week with a School Spirit/Mix Matched Socks Day, Super Hero/Princess Day, Pajama Day and Popcorn and a Movie Day. What fun!
During February we will learn about light, Valentine's Day, sharing, friendship and family. We will study letters O, R, K and J and numbers 11 and 12. We will memorize our home address and discuss healthy foods and dental health. Show 'N Tell will be on Friday, February 10th. Our theme is "A Sign of Love". The children may bring valentines for their friends on party day. Please do not write names on the envelopes. The children pass out their own Valentines and it makes passing out the cards easier. Have a great month and Happy Valentine's Day!

This month we will also discuss the number 6, fish, Valentine's, friends, our families, air and the color blue. February Show 'N Tell will be on Thursday, February 16th and Friday, February 17th. Our theme is "A Sign of Love". Happy Valentine's Day!
