April is READING MONTH at Good Shepherd School.  The PPO (Parent Participation Organization) has generously purchased a book for each child in the school! We will be receiving the books this week. A big thank you to our school's PPO!

This week we are beginning  a new exciting project in Kindergarten!

We are going to explore the world of robotics with our BEEBOTS.  The beebots are simple robots (shaped like bees) that can be programmed to do several simple tasks.  Be on the lookout for some new pictures soon and please ask your children about it!
