Week of Sept. 7-11

Dear Parents,

This week we will be having many amazing activities. We will begin learning about color green. We will be working on color green activities. The vocabulary words we are going to be focusing on are: frog, leaf, turtle, pear, snake and broccoli.
If you have any items at home that are color green, 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 Thursday. The kids get excited to bring things from home.
On Thurday the students will have ¨Green dress day¨ Please have your child wear a green piece of clothing. Thanks a lot for your involvement.

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

For the following two weeks in our Social Studies unit we will be talking about a 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. We are asking for your child to please bring Honduran coins about 2 of each (5,10,20, 50 cents, if you have, by any lucky chance, 1 cent please send it) we will give them back to you when we finish the two week Honduras study. If you have anything extra 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.

In Honduras on September 10^th of every year we celebrate Children’s Day. As you were informed in our chat. We would like to make a small celebration to our kids at snack time on Thursday September 10^th. We are asking for your support with Lps. 60.00 by Wednesday to pay candy bags, cake and juice. Thank you for your support and involvement. 

 Last week, you all received information about the Honduran typical breakfast that we are going to have with the students this Friday, September 11th. You do not need to send your child with a snack on this day since we will all be having the breakfast. Children will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m. on this day. The program will begin at 9:00 at the gym if you would like to come and join us. Let us know if you have any problem with whatever you were assigned with. Thank you in advance for your support with this celebration.

On Friday September 11th Early Childhood will be participating on a parade around the school after the Honduran Typical Breakfast. Children are asked to wear blue and white clothes. But if your child already has a Honduran typical dress, we would appreciate to have them wear it on this day.
