Today, we said goodbye to March, and also goodbye to each other for the duration of our Easter break. I hope everyone finds time to rest, recharge, and reflect during this most Holy time of year.
Yesterday and today, we sent home palms with your child. These palms were blessed by Father Bryan, who suggests to us to put them someplace special, where we can look upon them and remember God's love, for one whole year. Then next year, they may be returned to Church to be turned into ashes for Ash Wednesday. Ms. Rachel also passed this assignment on personally to every child at dismissal, as she handed out the palms. We also had some fun decorating and dyeing eggs! We sent them home today, so please, please, please check bookbags for the hard-boiled egg to promptly refrigerate it! Each student's egg is special and unique, just like them. As we say goodbye to March, and hello to April, we also say hello to new classroom themes. We will be learning more about Spring, and reptiles, and respect for the environment, in recognition of Earth Day. We recycle and compost every day in the Children's House, but this coming month, every child will have a chance to make their own recycled paper. We have been diligently trying to send home winter gear, as backpack space permits. There are still a few odds and ends of hats and gloves. We will keep endeavoring to send them home after break. Finally, thank you to all the families who donated to the Food Drive. Bless you for all you do! Happy Easter!
