Holy Spirit Mrs. Hacker's Kindergarten: April Showers...we hope not!

Fourth quarter is off and running in Kindergarten! Holy Week, disABILITY Week, and Easter make this a fast beginning... We will be finishing the year out with looking at our last year long theme component: In My Big Backyard. We will look a little beyond ourselves by exploring more of God's creation in the earth around us. There are lots of plants and animals that we are just curious about!

This week has been a lot of retelling the story of Jesus' last week on earth. How are you and your family remembering Holy Week? The next two days are full of activities that will help us remember the order and sequence of events. Thursday afternoon, 2nd grade will act out the last supper. We will be dismissed from the church afterward in silence. Friday ends with the living stations of the cross, performed by our 8th grade.

disABILITY Week (so named to emphasis the abilities we all share) has been a great opportunity to review how everyone is created differently. But even in our differences, we have a lot in common! We like a lot of the same fun toys, cartoons, sports, or games. We just may need help for some things. We saw a puppet show and learned a little about CP (cerebral palsy). The kids were very genuine in the curiosity. We asked good questions, and at the end, they were very clear on how much they had alike with someone that may have to use a wheel chair. We were all able to identify an ability that we have that may be different than a friend!
