HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Thank you to all the ladies who were able to join us for
our Mothers Day Stretching Session. It was lovely to
share a smile and your children with you!
We Celebrated Catholic Education Week!
We had our last 2 book talks, celebrated May The 4th Be With
You!, Danced at Dancefest and in the Gym, prepared for AND
celebrated Mothers Day, rode bikes AND we celebrated
Gabbys 6th Birthday!
Happy Birthday Gabby!
In Language: We worked on alphabet skills. We worked on matching and then

printing the lower case letters that use the Caterpillar C c, a, d, g, and we
practiced the lower case t. We counted syllables and rhymed words. We decoded 3
sound words using KARATE!
Luciano presented a book talk in Spanish called Elmers Colors and Sophia W shared
Scientists with us. Both did an excellent job!
We celebrated May The 4th be With You! We competed in the Star Wars Games in
the Gym and had some centres in the class. We made star fighters out of LEGO,
colored characters, drew droids, and made light sabers. It was a fun day! Miss
Mason helped us celebrate and read us a funny story, called dont TOUCH THIS
BOOK, with a robot in it that looked suspiciously like R2D2!
Gym: We played Star Wars Games. We Bombed the Death Star, Escaped from the
Death Star, used Yodas Force, had an intergalactic war, completed JEDI training
for lasers and light sabers and went Darth Vader bowlng.
We concluded our practices with Mrs. Boughners class for our Dance Fest Dance.
Religion: We celebrated Catholic Education Week. The Theme of Education
Week was OPENING THE DOORS OF MERCY. Daily themes included:
Mercy that Welcomes

Mercy that Loves (The Good Samaritan)
Mercy that Forgives (The Prodigal Son)
Mercy that Lives the Gospel (Zacchaeus)
Mercy that Rejoices (Healing of the Paralytic)
Having learned about most of these Parables during Lent, we concentrated on the
Prodigal Son and reviewed and discussed the rest using daily examples to help us
understand the teachings of Jesus.
Science: The children worked with Miss Angenent to transplant the sunflowers out
of the baggies on the window into pots.
In Art: Miss Angngent worked with the children to finish a TOP SECRET EXTRA
SPECIAL craft. Happy Mothers Day!!!!
In Music, Drama and Dance: Miss Angenent continues with Musical Lunches and
dance parties. We listened to a lot of Star Wars music and danced to some pretty
hilarious Storm Trooper/YODA/Jedi dance videos!
In Mathematics: We continued studying 3D shapes the sphere, cone, pyramid,
rectangular prism, cube and the cylinder. We learned about how 3D shapes can
move - stacking, sliding and rolling. We competed in the Light Saber Shape wars!
In Personal and Social Development: With the weather continuing to be up and
down, we continued to encourage the children to dress in layers. The rule at recess
continues to be : NO BARE ARMS.
We talked about how to cope with performance anxiety. We discussed talking to
our buddies, muscle memory, mental rehearsal, picturing ourself in the St. Mark
gym and fitting in ( ie dance! Because if you dont people WILL watch you!)
We had a Roots of Empathy visit with Mrs. Krug, Mrs. Telewiak and Baby Alicia.
Mrs. Krug talked with us about things Baby Alicia likes to eat and doesnt like to
eat. Alicia likes Cheerios but NOT cheese! And she made no bones about not liking
it! She also had Mrs. Telewiak tell us how Alicia was named.
In Inquiry/Directed Play: Being so busy this week, we had LOTS of structured
time. When the unstructured times came along, we noticed how very happy the
children are to play with each other. We saw lots of large group activitiesalmost
as if they wanted to keep the group mentality going! They were very excited
working on their Mothers Day Projects and they TOTALLY loved painted flower
pots and planting their sunflower seeds which grew right up and out of the
baggies on the window. Other activities included fine motor and vocabulary
development.
