WEEK OF NOVEMBER 23-27, 2015

This is going to be a very short week. We are going to be mainly talking about Thanksgiving Celebration and the meaning of this holiday. We will list things that we should be thankful for. If you have any books that are related to this holiday, we will really appreciate if you let us borrow them from you.



As you already know, for our Thanksgiving Celebration, we are requesting Lps. 100.00. We will be using this money to buy lunch. The children will have chicken nuggets, french fries, lemonade and dessert. If you have not sent this money, please do so as soon as possible. Our lunch will be on Wednesday around 11:00 a.m. since this is a half day. Remember the children will be dismissed from school at 11:45 a.m. on this day.

In Math, we are going to be working with numbers 19 and 20. We are going to be doing a lot of sequencing activities, writing missing numbers from 0-20, and making sets with these two numbers.

Please take a moment every day to review with your child the sight words we are studying in class. We will continue working with but, not, like, my, we.
Midterm reports were issued last Friday, November 21st. These should be signed by parents and returned to the teacher as soon as possible. If you would like a conference and one was not requested by the teacher, please call the school to set up an appointment.

Our annual Songfest will take place on Friday, December 11th at 6:30 p.m. Please mark this date and time on your calendar. Take into consideration that this is the time where traffic gets a little bit hectic in this city. We would really like to see all the children in school at 6:00 p.m. so we can go over last details with them. They are all very excited practicing their song every day with a lot of enthusiasm. Your child needs to come in dressed with black pants or leggings, white shirt, and white gloves with silver sequins.



Remember that there will be NO SCHOOL on Thursday, November 26th and Friday, November 27th. Happy Thanksgiving and stay safe!

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES – We remind parents that ALL after school activities will begin at 3:15 p.m. and will end at 4: 15 p.m. We ask parents to be prompt in picking the students up from after school activities.

MIDTERM PROGRESS REPORTS– Progress reports went home last Friday, November 20. They must be signed by parents and returned to school before the Thanksgiving Holiday. If you wish to conference with a teacher, please do not hesitate to contact the school to set up an appointment.


BAKE SALE – The Juniors will be having a bake sale in order to raise funds for their upcoming community service. The bake sale will be on Friday, December 4 during snack and lunch.

JUGUETON 2015 – Our school has been invited to participate in the First Lady’s Christmas drive to give toys to the children less fortunate of Honduras. The school will be making a donation as an institution, but would like to invite our students and parents to go through their closets and find toys in good shape to donate for this activity. There will be a box in the reception area (with Ms. Carolina) where the toys can be dropped off. We will be delivering what we contribute as a school on Wednesday, December 9.
