Week of Aug. 17-21

 Dear Parents,
This week we will be begin our first study learning about color red. We will be working on color red activities. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are:  strawberry, apple, firetruck, cherry and ladybug.
If you have any items at home that are color red, send them over with your child and we will be discussing them in class, we will display them on a table and we will return them back on Friday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.
On Friday the students will have ¨Red dress day¨ Please have your child wear a red piece of clothing.

Also, on this day, please pack a red snack in their lunch box. Your child needs to learn the name of the snack that he /she will bring.   Thanks a lot for your involvement.

Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

In our first Social Studies unit we will be talking about MY SCHOOL. We will begin with this unit this week. Some of the vocabulary words we will be introducing in this unit are: glue, scissors, pencil, marker, crayons, and lunchbox.

Manners, and the words they will learn are: please, thank you, excuse me, sorry, good morning, and good-bye. The students will be encouraged to use polite words in school

As stated in our Open House, we will be sending homework every Wednesday.  Please make sure the notebook is sent back to school.

Please remember to check your child’s folder every single day and send it back to school the next day. We are working on this special routine with the students. Remember that this is the best way for you to communicate with us.

DISMISSAL – We remind our parents that our student’s safety is our number one priority, and that every mechanism we use during the dismissal at 3:00 p.m. is geared towards that purpose. Please follow the instructions and procedures established by the teachers on parking lot duty, and ask your drivers to do so as well. Slow down when driving in and out of campus, and roll the window down so the teachers in the parking lot can call your child(ren) ahead of time. We thank you for your patience and cooperation in these first days of the school year.

STICKERS FOR YOUR VEHICLES – Each family will be issued a sticker for his/her car free of charge. Additional stickers may be purchased if needed at the Administrative building. Please make sure you bring the license plate number for the car(s) you are purchasing sticker(s) for.

           

HEADS UP ON THE OCTOBER HOLIDAYS -  Congress has voted on changing the holidays that were scheduled for the end of October and move them to October 7,8, and 9. Even though this was just announced this week, we will be looking for further confirmation on the finality of this disposition. Please make a note of this since we will need to comply with what the government mandates, which would mean moving our holidays to the new dates.

AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES – Information regarding ourAfter School Activities ( French, Kempo, Choir, Jazz Band, Violin, Athletics, Soccer and Basketball) will be sent home in the middle of the week
