honor the month of the rosary. I have a class set of rosary beads for our

like to also practice the Hail Mary & Our Father at home that is always

wonderful.

special day and I will send a DOJO about what it will be. :)

the month of October. If you’d like to order in advance for all Fridays

in October, please send the $12 and the order form found here:

Week of September 7th, 2021

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful long weekend. The children had an awesome 1st day back! I am so proud of how well they are doing already. 

Here is our weekly update with some information about the week ahead:

1. Tomorrow we are going to be doing a lesson called “Marshmallow Toes” and

the children will receive one medium size marshmallow to help reinforce in a

fun way the concept of walking quietly in line. After we do the lesson I do

give the children the option to eat the marshmallow or take it home,

however if you do NOT want your child to eat it please let me know. :) 

2. Tomorrow & Thursday are Gym uniforms, please try to label sweatshirts in case they get mixed up during the day. 

3. Pizza Friday’s are an option for lunch, please see this link to the Friday

Folder if you are interested in ordering for the month of September.

4. We sent home our “Prayer Books” today in Homework Folders for you to

keep at home and use as  reference to practice our daily prayers. We say

them many times throughout the day so if you’d like to have your children

practice at home as well, that would be great but it is optional of course. :) 

This week we will continue focusing on adjusting to Kindergarten and

learning our school routines, rules, and procedures as we build our classroom

family. 

Thank you for your time, please let me know if you have any questions.

Enjoy the beautiful day, God Bless!

Love & Prayers,

Mrs. Tironi
