Week of November 26th - November 30th 2012

We hope you all had a restful and wonderful thanksgiving break! 

We would like to thank all the parents for the wonderful Thanksgiving luncheon last Wednesday!! Thank you, thank you!!! This would not have been possible without your help! The Thanksgiving Committee did an outstanding job!!

This week we are going to start working with the letter Mm. We are going to be exploring Magnets and predicting which objects around the classroom are attracted to magnets. It is going to be a lot of fun for the children!!!

We are going to continue working with addition problems up to 10. Last week we used lollipops as counters. This week we are going to be using M & M’s to do a graph. Math is filled with fun activities in our Kindergarten Class.

Midterm Reports were sent home last Wednesday. Please make sure you sign and return them as soon as possible. If a conference was requested we ask that you call and plan to come in this week. If one was not requested but you would like to come in and talk, please call us.

The school is organizing the traditional Christmas Baskets for the Support Personnel. The kindergarteners have been asked to contribute by bringing one 5lb-bag of RICE, and any other non-perishable item (i.e. canned goods, cookies, etc) you may want to donate. Please send these in before Friday, December 14.

The NPH Giving Tree is located in the Secondary Building. If you want to be a part of this wonderful initiative to provide the children of the orphanage with shoes and socks, tags on the tree have the children's size information. For more information talk to Mrs. Christina Agurcia.

Songfest in around the corner! Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 18^th. The presentation will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. (children need to be back in school by 5:30 p.m.). Our Kindergarten students will be singing: “Somewhere Out There” from “Fievel,” an American Tale. Students need to wear mouse ears, a tail and come dressed with pijamas. They also need to bring a small pillow for the show.

This Wednesday is an early dismissal. Children will leave school at 11:45 a.m.

This week the child in charge of Kindergarten Kafe is Isabel Gonzalez
