Hello 1st Grade PREP families,
Welcome to the last week of PREP! We hope your students have enjoyed this year! We have enjoyed getting to know each student and helping them to grow in the faith we love. They each have made our hearts smile through their eagerness to learn and thoughtful observations. We are excited for them to celebrate First Communion next year! Please go over their 3 memorized prayers before next year- Glory Be, The Lords Prayer, and Hail Mary.
This week we would have done Chapter 19 in the book about the church helping the world. This is a great chapter at this time.

If students would like to do a little service project they could write letter to Covid19 patients in the hospital. Here is an address:
Bethesda North Hospital
C/O COVID Unit Staff and Patients
10500 Montgomery Road
Cincinnati, OH
45242
Our bible story this week is about Paul! https://youtu.be/R0p0W_Zbt1s
Please look at our YouTube playlist for songs to sing as a family. Here is a Superbook about Jesus miracles:

Please have a great summer! Come by next fall and say bye if we do not see you this summer at church.
Wishing you all the best!
Sincerely,

Hello 1st Grade PREP families!
Mr. James and I hope your family had a blessed Easter! While we were sad not to go to church we enjoyed spending time together. If your family did not have a chance to check out the videos Mrs. Emily sent try to find time to watch them! They are a great resource!
This week we were going to do Chapter 17 in our book. I will talk about this in the video. Please work on the rest together! It will not take long and has some great history about the church in kid language.

After book work we usually spend classroom time talking about a Saint. Here is a great video about Peter.

Other than our typical chapter in the book and discussing a saint we sing songs from the YouTube channel and watch a Superbook. James and I have a subscription but I found a free version of the Easter story!

We miss you all and hope to see you soon! We hope you are enjoying your family time and growing in faith as a family!

Hello 1st Grade PREP families!
We miss you and will be thinking and praying for all of you! We hope you are enjoying this time together as a family. I know I have discovered so many amazing things about my own children in this journey. I more thankful than ever for all of our blessings and while this is a tough time I am thankful for this time as a family.
This Sunday would have been Mass to Mission. If you could talk to your students about Chapter 4 in the Mass to Mission book and play the video (I believe will be posted on the website) that would be wonderful! Please look at page 254 in their book about Holy Week and the following section about Easter. Don't forget about the Lent book! They are a valuable resource for students on their journey for Lent. Please have your students draw a picture/write a note about this time as a family! My email is vioxamy@gmail.com We would love to hear from them! We recorded a short video to talk to students. We told them about how much we love that our dog Koda can be a part of mass! If you look at the youtube playlist connected to the class video you will find songs we sing in class. We hope you can enjoy these as a family at home!
We wish you all a blessed Easter! We miss you all and hope you have a great week!
Sincerely,
James and Amy Herbst
