Dear God,

Spring is a metaphor for change.

Some changes we eagerly await, and some we
abhor.
Some changes we plan and others arrive
uninvited.
To all these changes we ask the gift of Your
perspective beckoning us to expectation,
hope, and rebirth.
May the sunlight and the rain be reminders
that You are at work renewing the earth.
As a God of renewal, You are ever at work in
our lives, too.
Open our eyes and lives to the needed
changes in our lives this Spring.
Awaken us to new life and perspective, for
we pray in Jesus' name.

Welcome to Spring! We have so much to

celebrate warmer days, longer days, rays of
sunshine (we hope!), blossoming trees, and
tulips blooming! Our Kindergarten Journey
continues, as we welcome our new theme,
Spring is Here! Over the next several
weeks, your child will be involved in a variety
of activities.
This month, we will focus on life cycles of
frogs and plants, Earth Week (the
importance of recycling), living and non-living
things and of course, literacy and numeracy.
Continue reading and writing at home with
your child and encourage him/her to use
strategies learned in class.
We look forward to an exciting month of
learning!

Amen.
