Kindergarten - Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Strell

 
April showers bring May flowers and plenty of learning experiences and activities to the Kindergarten! The children look forward to having outdoor recess again and seeing/experiencing the many signs of Spring. Our Religion lessons this month focused on Jesus’ last days on the earth, making a Stations of the Cross book and realizing Easter is a time of New Life. The children also tied a Science lesson for Earth Day (recycle &reuse) into their Religion class by developing an understanding that the Earth is entrusted to our faithful stewardship…that it is a gift from God and all of us must be the caretakers of Earth on His behalf. In Phonics the children continue to learn the letter sounds and practice blending them into words as well as build their sight word wall with words they can read. The children are even reading short stories on their own! In Math, we continue to grow in number knowledge and we can read and write addition and subtraction equations! We are learning about three dimensional shapes…did you know a Pringle can was a cylinder!  The KA & KB children will continue to enjoy the many signs of Spring, such as warmer days and sunshine, chirping birds, and daffodils as they continue their educational journey towards First Grade.
