For the 2 weeks prior and the week following spring break we will be celebrating the Easter season.  We will discuss the meaning of Easter including the triumphant entry, the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus.  

Our spotlight author this week is Eric Litwin.  We will be the authors and illustrators of our very own version of Pete the Cat. We cannot wait to share it with you. Friday, March 16th, Eric Litwin, author of Pete the Cat books, will be spending the day at Trinity.  He will be with grades k4 - 2nd grade from 8:15 -9:00 AM.  We are so excited about his visit.
