Our February snack party menu has been posted on our corkboard.

We read A Happy Chinese New Year while wearing our pajamas this morning and passed out lucky red envelopes (with two treats of starburst). We also watched a 4 minute video, Fortune Tails; The Story of Chinese New Year and learned why the color red is so popular, why fireworks are used and why they bang drums. All to scare a monster of an ancient story (to scare away bad spirits ) and to bring good fortune. We also made our own Chinese drums.

Today in chapel Father Art shared the store of The Beautitudes. We learned that the word beautitude means being in the state of utmost bliss.

We also celebrated Conor’s birthday with a blessing from Father Art and a song by Ms. KariAnn.

Today we introduced the game Jenga. Some friends have played and for some it was their first time.
