Bible: We have talked a lot about the events leading up to Easter and the celebration of Jesus resurrection. We also visited Spain on our trip around the world.

We liked watching some videos of children doing the dance! This week we talked about eggs and Easter. We observed cracked eggs and drew a picture of the inside. We learned what animals come from eggs and did a riddle writing to describe one of those animals. And of course, we did activities with Easter.

De la Seora:
Im excited to say that our auction project is just about finished. This weekend I plan to scan each childs finished handprint animal. I hope to send this scanned picture to each of you so you can see your childs part. The entire poster of all the handprint animals will be auctioned off on April 19. Im looking for some volunteers to help with two projects. First is to complete our two yearbook pages. I will have pictures for you to use. Second is to help with a very large project of making copies of leveled readers for Spanish Immersion. I have had one parent volunteer but it is too large of a project for just one person. Please let me know if you can help! Upcoming Events: Mar. 29 No school April 1, 2 School in session Apr. 19 Early dismissal, AUCTION!! REMINDERS: *BBQ ticket orders are due on Thursday, April 4 by 8:00am. We encourage everyone to participate! *Scholastic orders are due April 5. *If youre interested in PSUs summer reading program, check out:
