Almost spring break!

The week is passing so quickly! Our class participated in Reconciliation yesterday morning, and received the delightful gift of a kite in celebration of Easter. The sunshine and warmth of the day helped to symbolize how God welcomed our words and our thoughts throughout the day. We've begun making cards for Alma Via residents this week, sending Easter wishes their way. With a math test today, the math homework will be light this week, and (as an Easter gift to the class) there will not be a book report assigned this week. Report card comments will be sent home by the end of this week...thank you for your patience.

To celebrate Easter in the classroom, we will have a refreshment and a treat on Thursday before dismissal. Remember, Thursday is 12:25pm dismissal!

Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes to my family and me regarding my father's surgery. His surgeon believes that by removing a portion of his kidney and the tumor, all of the cancer has been removed. We will not know if this is 100% factual until we have the results of new tests within the next week. As of now, he is stable, in the hospital, and eating solid foods. He is being monitored due to low levels of potassium, but may be able to return home in the next four or five days. It would be wonderful to have him home for Easter, but that remains to be seen. I was able to attend the Rosary of our family friend on the night of the surgery and say my father's written words on his behalf. It was an exhausting day, but incredibly worthwhile. My family could not be more relieved than to hear that my father may be cancer free, and will continue to pray for 100% certainty.

I hope that you all have a fun and safe spring break, including a joyous Easter Sunday. :)
