Today we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Lent, traditionally known as Laetare Sunday. The name Laetare comes from the Latin word meaning “rejoice,” and it marks a joyful pause in our Lenten journey. As we continue to prepare our hearts for Easter, Laetare Sunday reminds us of the hope and joy that lie ahead in the Resurrection of Christ.
At school, we encourage students to reflect on the ways they are growing in faith through prayer, acts of kindness, and self-discipline. May this special Sunday be a moment of encouragement and renewal for your family as well.

Peter 5:6-7 “...humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time. Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.”
Sometimes we can feel far away from you, Lord. In this season, remind us of what is true. Speak louder than the lies. Help us celebrate that you are in control of all things.
In Mrs. Assiradoo’s second grade classes, the students have been learning about food words. First, they practiced food words such as queso (cheese), leche (milk), pollo (chicken) and pan (bread). Then they drew a picture of food to make a meal (comida) and labeled each of the food items in Spanish. They finished their exploration of Spanish food words by playing a matching game. Students chose two cards to see if they matched. As they picked the cards, they also practiced saying the food words in Spanish. Research in language learning states that to learn a language quickly to focus on contextual learning, active recall, and consistent practice through reading, listening and speaking to reinforce vocabulary learning.
Mrs. Assiradoo’s favorites: holiday: Christmas; cookie: chocolate chip; flower: roses; place to shop: Kohls; season: summer; Disney character: Cinderella.
