Dear Nursery Parents,
This week we are going to continue working with the alphabet.
We will be working on recognizing the letters with their sound. We will be reviewing
letters A-F and working on ABC’s Phonics songs.
Some of the books we are going to be reading this week are the following:
There Was an Old Lady
who Swallowed a Fly, illustrated by Simms Taback
We like this version of the classic childhood song
that every kid should know. It’s a silly
song, but that’s what makes it so appealing.
Shoo Fly! by Iza
Trapani
Snatch up any picture books you see by Iza Trapani. We
just love them! In each of her books she
takes a familiar song and adds verses with her own unique illustrations. My kids can’t get enough of this one, and I
love to sing it!
In math, will continue working with numbers. We will
work on how to represent and recognize numbers using tally marks, ten frames,
name of the number, one-to-one correspondence. This week we will be working
with number 6.
I am attaching you the link of the
video of this song we will be learning throughout the week. We will learn two
versions of this nursery rhyme. Just a little tip to have fun at home listening
and acting out our song.
In our Science unit we will continue learning about Insects. We are going to be discussing
the different types of insects. Children will get the chance to name them and identify
different kinds of insects. Some of the vocabulary words we will be focusing
are: bee, ant, mosquito, spider,
butterfly, caterpillar, ladybug, grasshopper, dragonfly, fly. If you have
any books or posters, ideas or any other material that you would like to share
with us it would be greatly appreciated.
In
Honduras we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 8th. We would like to
invite all of our MOMMIES to have Muffins with your child on Friday May 6th
at 8:00 a.m. We are planning on having something nice prepared for you. We hope

SUMMER CAMPS AT DISCOVERY SCHOOL
- Just like last year, there will be two summer camps in the month of
June. Discovery Zone 7 will be a fun, artistic and entertaining camp for
children 3 to 9 years old. There will also be a reinforcement camp for reading,
writing and French for students in grades K-2. Both camps will run from June 13
to July 1, with the same schedule (8:00 a.m. to 12:00). Transportation is
available at a small additional cost. If you or a relative/friend is
interested, more information can be given to you by Ms. Carolina or at the
accounting offices in school.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY ON MAY 14 - The Discovery School’s third General Assembly meeting is
scheduled for Saturday, May 14, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. at the school's
cafeteria. There will be 4 vacancies on
the Board of Directors. Nominations will still be accepted the day of the
General Assembly, as specified in our by-laws.
The
reward of an “ice cream day” will be offered to the elementary and secondary
group with best attendance resulting in a quorum.

EXHIBIT AND MUSIC PERFORMANCES – Also on Saturday we will be having our annual
Art Exhibit.
CHILD

attend the General Assembly, the school is providing supervised activities in
