I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.
This Week We Are Learning (5/18/26):
Reading- This week we will focus on the following Target Skills: identifying the main idea and details of a story, using the questioning strategy, and identifying the author’s purpose, substituting phonemes, blending words, tracking syllables, understanding characters, reading with expression, and identifying prepositions. We will also be working with long /e/. The high frequency words from this lesson are “come and does.” (Please continue to practice reading and identifying all of our High Frequency Words at home.)
Religion- This week we will learn about the Holy Spirit and we will practice for our Kindergarten Moving–up Ceremony.
Math: We will continue to compare objects based on length, height, weight, and capacity.
Social Studies- We will continue to explore our wonderful state, New York. We will also discuss the importance of Memorial Day and the veterans that fought for our country.
Science- The children will continue to discuss how farm animals contribute to people’s lives by providing food for the table and clothes to keep them warm. We will also discuss how each new season brings a different set of tasks and responsibilities on the farm.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Reyes and I am the Kindergarten Teacher at St. Martin of Tours. This is my fourteenth year teaching here. Previously I taught in another Catholic School. Over the years, I have taught children in Kindergarten, Second, Third, and Fourth grade.
I absolutely love to teach and I feel so blessed to be able to help my students learn and grow. This year, we are going to have a wonderful time making new friends, learning lots of new things, and growing in God’s love.
