🥚🎨 SMS Girl Scouts got in on the Easter fun before break too! The girls read "Rechenka's Eggs", by Patricia Polacco & explored traditional Ukrainian Easter egg designs to earn their Daisy Art & Design badge. They created edible art using cookies, frosting, sprinkles & M&M's, looked at real & wooden eggs decorated in the Ukrainian style, then painted their own eggs on paper using crayons as the wax resist for their watercolors. Happy Easter to all!
SMS offers a wider variety of extracurricular activities for students as young as Kindergarten!

Miss Gon's class had a blast celebrating "Peep Day" before break! Students let the #sweet, marshmallow treat be the theme for their work, creating Peep headbands, completing Peep math fact families, & naming & coloring Peeps of their own!

🐇🐣🌷 Miss Gon's Kindergarten class had some sweet Easter fun last week! Students discovered clues around the school (from the Easter Bunny himself!) that led them to an egg hunt in their classroom. They made an Easter craft together, then said their before meal prayers & had "The Last Snack" together as a class. They shared snack foods symbolic of Holy Week, Jesus's crucifixion & Resurrection.

🐝 🌷 🐜 🧺 Our Kindergarten class has been thinking Spring & exploring some of the buzzing and crawling insects that come with it!

From day 1 to 100 (& each and every day in between!) your child's Kindergarten year is an important first step in their education. A positive, engaging Kindergarten experience lays the foundation for future academic success - fostering essential social, emotional, & cognitive skills that children will use throughout their lives.
We invite you to explore Kindergarten at St. Mary School & see how our Catholic values shape tomorrow's leaders. Click the link below to register for a Kindergarten tour this March: stmaryschoolswormville.org/be-a-bee
Spring & K Grad Photo Day is TOMORROW! If you'd like photos taken order online at mylifetouch.com or use the paper form that came home. Students getting SPRING pictures may dress up out of uniform, MCH-K & K students may dress up or wear uniforms under the supplied cap/gown.
Our Kindergartners are a "force" to be reckoned with! They had a big, blue, special guest for Science recently when they were invited down to Mrs. Witkowski's science lab. They first reviewed what it means to be a scientist & how to make predictions, then did a special experiment & movement activity on forces! Kindergartners learned how to move "Big Bluey" (a huge blow up elephant) with pushes & pulls, drew their own examples of forces, & sorted toys based on the type of forces that move them.
If you're looking for a Kindergarten experience for your child that incorporates STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art & Math), as well as gives them a solid foundation in reading with ELA, & reinforces your Catholic values, click the link below to join us this March to see why SMS is the place to "bee": https://www.stmaryschoolswormville.org/be-a-bee
