WEEKLY NEWS FROM ROOM 114
THIS WEEKS NEWS
May 3 - 7, 2010
We have a number of projects we are working on for the end of the year. The stories the children are writing and illustrating are coming along great. Since May is the month of Mary, we will have a small May Crowning in our classroom. The students will compose a prayer to Mary that we will say at our ceremony. I have a small statue that we will "crown" and put some flowers around.
The pillowcase project is very special. Thank you for sending the pillowcases to school so promptly. The memory book is getting filled with memories. I know the children will enjoy their book for a long time to come.
