WEEK OF MARCH 10-14

Dear Parents,

We had an outstanding time last week learning a lot about Dr. Seuss. We would like to thank each one of you for making the whole week special for your child. They were all coming to school with a smile on their face and dressed up as we requested for the day.

This week we are going to be evaluating the students. Report cards are around the corner and we are going to be reviewing all the concepts that we have covered in class. This includes all the letters of the alphabet studied in this quarter, math concepts, writing CVC words and the sight words.

We are going to continue talking about Dr. Seuss and watching some of his stories. If you would like to come in and do a special activity/craft or simply read to the students, do not hesitate to contact us so we can make it possible.

 

In Math we are going to continue working with Fractions. We are also going to be doing a variety of counting activities from 0 to 50. The children will also be writing these numbers.

We have talked to the students that we have started the hot season in Honduras. Please provide your child with a water bottle every day. Have them wear light clothes; they can bring a hat to protect from the sun, put sunscreen on their face and arms. 

EARLY CHILDHOOD AND ELEMENTARY READ-A-THON – This is week two of the Early Childhood and Elementary READ – A – THON for grades K-5. Please remind your child(ren) to read as much as they can, and to record their books in the Reading Log that was provided. Please help us by encouraging your child to read at home every day!

CHRONICLES OF DISCOVERY SCHOOL - Each year at Discovery School we host the event "Chronicles of Discovery," destined to promote literature and art developed by our students and to reward those whose works excel in these areas. The event is organized by the students of the AP Literature and Composition class. Throughout the award ceremony, students conduct art exhibition, musical performance, and recitation, among other activities. There will also be live music and refreshments for everyone to enjoy.

 

We would like to invite you to Chronicles of Discovery and help us fund it. The event is sponsored by companies and donations from parents. Any sum of money is welcomed, and may be delivered to Mr. Fenn (high school building, room no. 3). Thank you for helping us promote the artistic school spirit. We hope to see you at the event, April 25.
