Week of September 3rd - September7th


This week we
 are ready to start with the letter Dd. The word of the week is dog. This week we will be reading and discussing fun facts about dinosaurs. We will begin counting up to 20 and will review letter sound recognition from Aa to Dd.
As part of the festivities for our Independence Day Celebration on Thursday September 13th, we will be having a POT LUCK SNACK. Each student should bring a typical Honduran breakfast/snack to share with 5 classmates. food or drinks. Teachers will let parents know what to contribute to minimize repeats  of food and drinks. DO NOT SEND A SNACK FOR THIS DAY! The school is also encouraging children (and teachers) to wear “Honduran” clothes on this day. This may be a typical Honduran outfit (traje tipico), the National Soccer Team sports outfit, any creative dress up that is representative of Honduras, or simply blue and white clothes.
This day is also an early dismissal; the children will be leaving at 11:45 a.m. Also, remember that Friday September 14th, and Monday September 17th are holidays. We will be back in school on Tuesday September 18th.


DPTO MEETING THIS WEEK - The Discovery Parent Teacher Organization is holding
its first meeting on Wednesday, September 5 from 7:30am to 8:15am.  The
agenda items include: general information about the DPTO, activities for
the school year, budget, and organizing the United Nations Day.  A light
morning snack will be provided. 

MAP TEACHER TRAINING

There will be NO SCHOOL for grades Nursery to Grade 5 on Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7.

Our teachers are making the necessary accommodations in the delivery of the curriculum to make sure that this does not affect the instruction of our students. As only  a few of the secondary teachers will attend the training, the Middle and High School students will have classes as normal on Thursday and Friday, September 6 and 7.

We thank our parents for their support and understanding in this matter, and encourage anyone who has a question to email our Head of School at debgilespk@yahoo.com

Thank you very much!!!

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
