I would like to thank everyone for making Visitation's First Holy Communion so special. The girls looked absolutely beautiful! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your child's most holy and special day.

The Second Grade presented their EgyptProject, along with the Upper Grade's Silk Road, on May 13th. The children created a wonderful project and it was very well received.

We were very excited on Friday to have Mr. Angelo DeCesare come to our classroom.
Mr. DeCesare was the illustrator and author who visited us on Author's Day. He spent almost an hour in our classroom and the children were very excited. He gave us a little autobiography and explained how he came to draw and write. It was very thrilling to be a part of this. He showed the girls how to draw his characters by using only shapes that they know. He also explained that he took his real life experiences and wrote about them. The interesting part was that all of his characters were animals. The girls then drew one of the characters on their own and wrote a sentence about it. These will be displayed on the bulletin board outside our classroom. It was another great day at VA!
