What an exciting Spirit Week we have shared here at the School of the Holy Childhood! This week we saw a number of silly hair-dos, mix-matched outfits and cozy pajamas grace the school's hallways, and Mrs. P.'s class was no exception. Thank you for all of your enthusiastic participation in this week's festivities. We had a blast!
We also started a new unit in Physical Education this week: dance! This week students got a chance to learn some new moves, beginning with limbo, the cha-cha and the twist. These moves will surely come in handy for our upcoming Valentine's Day dance, on February 14th! We also continued work on our Circles unit, learning how to talk, touch and trust those people on our outermost red circles, or strangers whom we do not know. Students did a fabulous job identifying which circles various people belonged in. This very important lesson can be reinforced at home using pictures of your own families and friends. Great work kids!
This Friday, Mrs. P.'s class continued its new job of reporting the school announcements and reciting the pledge. This is a very important job for our students, as it not only relays important information to the entire school, but also helps our students build confidence reading and speaking for others. This week's readers did a wonderful job, and future readers will have plenty of practice before their turns as this month's sight words were pulled right from our nation's pledge!
Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this week! See you all throughout the next few weeks of winter!
