WEEK OF APRIL 22 – 26, 2013

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your collaboration during the Mini Olympics, we truly appreciate your support.

Time is flying by really fast. This week we will be covering the letter Zz. We are going to be doing a unit about Zoo Animals. The children are going to be able to identify animals that live in the zoo, animals that we can have as pets, and animals that live in the farm.

Vocabulary: zebra, zipper, zoo, zero, zig-zag.

Sight words:some, when, would, make, there

math: word problems, number line.

Wow, this week we will be done with all the letters of the alphabet. This means that we will expose the children to a lot of reading and writing activities.

The end of the school year is always a busy time! Please mark your calendars with all the special activities that are going on in school.

This week we want to thank in advance  Fiorella Alvarado who will be in charge of bringing the cooking ingredients for this week.

PARENTS PLEASE TAKE NOTE - there will be no school for students on Wednesday, April 24. Ms. Judi Fenton, Educational Consultant, is with us this week to review our curriculum and discuss the Common Core that has been adopted by 46 states in the US, including how it might be adapted for Discovery. As part of the process, Ms. Fenton will work with the entire faculty together on Wednesday.

BINGO returns to Discovery! - Proceeds to buy TECHNOLOGY for the school. Please mark your calendars for Saturday, May 4! Lunch will be sold for all attending families, friends and guests starting at 11:00 a.m. and the grand BINGO will begin at 1:30 p.m.PARENT COLLABORATION IS NEEDED in donating prizes for this event.

TICKETS: The school will send home a closed envelope with 5 numbered tickets that we are asking each family to sell for Lps. 150 each. You will then need to send back the envelope with the money to the school, addressed to Ms. Carolina or Ms. Gloria. The school will keep a record of each family’s payment. Make sure you contact the school (2221-7790 or gpalacios@discoveryschool.edu.hn) if you are sending the envelope with your child, especially if he/she is very young, so we can follow up on the envelope. On the day of the event, you will find the TICKET TABLE, where you will be able to turn in the stubs and collect your Bingo Cards. You may also buy more tickets if needed. Don’t miss this opportunity to collaborate with the school and spend a wonderful afternoon with your family.
