Week of December 3rd - December 7th, 2012

It is so hard to believe that we are starting the month of December.

December is a chilly month. Make sure your children are coming to school wearing warm clothes. The clothes need to be properly labeled as children tend to take them off when they feel warm and can leave it behind in any of the classrooms. Please understand it is very difficult for us to keep track of where they leave their stuff behind.

This week we will continue working with the letter Mm since we still need to cover some concepts from our Kindergarten curriculum. We are going to be talking about Measurement. We will also continue to work with addition problems up to 10.  

It has been a tradition at Discovery School for students to come together and contribute  in assembling baskets of goods for our support personnel.  Kindergarten students have been asked to bring a 5-lb bag of rice. Please feel free to send any additional goodies that you want to share with our devoted staff, such as canned goods, instant soups, cookies and crackers, or anything else that does not require refrigeration. Please send these items no later than Friday, December 14th. Your participation will be deeply appreciated.

NOCHE BENEFICIOSA - The Seniors 2013 will be having a fund raising evening at Pollo Tropical on Thursday, December 6^th from 3:00 p.m. - 9:00p.m. Funds will be used for their Social Work. We invite all the Discovery School families to join the Seniors and support their project. 

Song Fest is around the corner. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, December 18^th. The presentation will begin promptly at 6:00 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. The dresses for the Song Fest need to be ready for Thursday, December 13^th for the General Dress Rehearsal!
