Week of March 7-11

Dear Parents,

We also had an outstanding time last week learning a lot about Dr. Seuss. This week we are going to continue talking about him 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.

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 shapes studied this quarter, which are: square, rectangle, triangle, diamond, heart, oval and star. 

Knowing all our shapes and colors, children are going to be working on practicing their skills for identifying and making AB patterns 

Alejandro's birthday will be on Thursday, March 10th. He will be bringing some cake and some pizza to celebrate with us on Friday, so please we are requesting you not to send snack for this day. Thank you 

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.

 In Honduras we celebrate Father´s Day on March 19th. We would like to invite all of our DADDIES to have Donuts with your child on Friday March 18^th at 8:00 a.m. We are planning on having something nice prepared for you. We hope you can come and spend some time with your child at school.

Easter is around the corner and we are planning to have our Easter Egg Hunt at Valentiona’s House located in El Hatillo Km8.2, Thursday, March 17th. We are planning to leave school at 8:00 a.m. and come back at 12:00 m. If you have not sent the money for these two celebrations, please do so as soon as possible.

We are kindly requesting, if by any case, you can donate some plastic eggs for the Easter party. You can find them at stock. It is not a demand, but we would really appreciate your help.

Also we are requesting for each child to bring 5 eggshells. The children will decorate them at school to take to the party. To do this, you simply make a hole with a needle at each end of the egg. Blow through one of the holes until all the egg white and yolk has come out. Please make sure that you clean them and have them sent to school completely dry. These eggshells should be in school by Monday, March 14^th. If you can send more than 5 they are more than welcome. 

We are kindly requesting, if by any case you can donate some plastic eggs for the easter party

LICE – We once again have several cases of lice at school. Lice are common in all schools this time of year and there is no reason for shame. Parental cooperation is crucial in effectively eradicating this small epidemic. The school nurse will check students for lice, and a student will be able to come back to school once there are no more lice/nits on the student and has been cleared by our school nurse. Please help us by sending your child back to school once you have gotten treated the problem, and please understand that the measures we take are to ensure the well-being of our students. 

PRESENTATION FOR PARENTS - We cordially invite all DS school parents to attend a presentation that will be given by the Lic. Manuel Morales on the topic “The Four Types of Parents”. This presentation will take place on Thursday, March 10, at 12:00 p.m., in the Conference Room. The school will be providing some refreshments. We hope you will be able to attend!
