This week we will study the life cycle of the butterfly with stories, poems, fingerplays and many art activities. We will study the letter B and its sound. We will learn about bees and insects that are all around us. On Friday we will learn about the sacrament of Baptism. We will go to church and see the Baptismal font. I will be sending home a certificate that you may fill out with your child. On Monday (if you want) your child can bring in a photo of their Baptism and tell a story. It is always a lot of fun. Trip money is now past due. Please speak to me about what you need to do now.
