Second graders hosted their families in Spanish class last week. Students interviewed their parents using some of their basic Spanish vocabulary (colors, foods, numbers) to create posters for their families and shared in some review games.
¡Gracias a todas las familias por visitarnos!

  In preparation for Mother's Day, each student will be able to invite one guest (his/her mother or special friend) to a special Celebration of Mothers Prayer Service. During this prayer service, we will participate in the Catholic tradition of crowning Mary, the mother of Jesus and the Queen of Heaven and Earth, with flowers and ask her to pray for us as we strive to follow her Son, Jesus. We will also offer special prayers and blessings to all mothers and mother figures in our lives. Please RSVP here.
