Week of Sept. 14-18

A long weekend is always a good time to recharge our batteries! We hope our Nursery kids are ready for the new and exciting challenges that we have for the second half of the first quarter of the school year.

We would like to thank each one of you for everything you sent last Friday for our “Desayuno Catracho”. The students enjoyed tasting Tamalitos de Elote, Baleadas, Catrachitas, Platanitos, Rosquillas, Tustaca, Pupusas, elote loco and lemonade! 

Midterm Reports were issued last Thursday, September 10^th. Please go over them, sign them and send them back to school. If you would like a conference, and one was not requested, please contact me or call the school to set up an appointment.

This week we will be reviewing the vocabulary of the colors learned so far since the beginning of the school year. Which are colors red, blue, yellow and green. For Friday we are asking to please have your children wear clothes of any of these four colors we have learned so far. Thank you for your involvement. 

This week we will be working our first author study which will be about Laura Numeroff. Laura Numeroff is an amazing author of the books like the ones we will be studying this week. Her books are great to encourage sequencing, cause and effect and so many more great lessons. The best of it is that she writes in a very fun and friendly way to get children engaged to her stories.

Some of the stories for this week are: 

In our Social Studies unit we will continue talking about this gorgeous country HONDURAS. Some of the vocabulary words we will be learning this week are: map, macaw, lempiras(money), white tail deer, pine tree, flag. If you have anything about Honduras that you are willing to share with us, we would really appreciate it. You are more than welcome to come into the classroom and talk about this beautiful country, show pictures, or even share a typical food with the kids. Let us know in advance if you would like to do a special activity with the children.
