Reminders:
- Every Tuesday Homework is sent home. Homework should be back to school
on Thursday. Please don’t forget to send the folder back
- Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday's children have Motricity
class. We are requesting that please send your child with tennis shoes and with
shorts or pants. No skirts and no sandals. This is so that your child can be
able to participate in every activity done during the class.
-Please make sure your child is only bringing toys of the letter of the
week we are studying. We have been receiving children with toys that do not
belong to the letter.
This week we will continue learning about our abc. We will be working on
recognizing the letters with their sound, letter formation, vocabulary of the
letter, remember always emphasizing on the short vowel sounds. This week we
will be studying about the letter Ll. The vocabulary for this letter is: lion, log, lamp,
ladder, ladybug, lock, lines, lollipop, lemon, leaf, lobster, legs.
Children assigned should take at
least five (5) items that they have at home that begin with this letter.
Items should be at school on Monday and we will send them back on Friday. For
this week we have William (Prek”A”) and Juwon
(Prek”B”).
Note 1: If you
would like to share eatable things such as lollipops, lemonade, lemon pie, lychees, lettuce, lasagna, laffy taffy
(gummy candies), life savers, lucky charms, etc. for children to taste. It
would be awesome if instead of Monday you send it on Friday so that we close up
our letter unit.
Note 2: There will always be one student of each section that will be
assigned with the letter of the week but, there is a new homework. Every
Tuesday some of you will receive a Ziploc bag and you will have to send one
thing that fits in the bag that begins with the letter of the week.
Thank you for your support!!
If you haven't send your medium size lock with a key. Please send it by Monday, Nov. 28th. Thank you.

vocabulary, in case you would like to review at home with your child.

in class. Please send them with your child, we will be displaying them in our
book corner
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an international organization that
takes in abandoned and orphaned children, providing a home and education. Here
in Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in at large
ranch near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped children.
While many children at the ranch have aunts, uncles, or grandparents that come
to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts, some children at a ranch
have no family to visit. It is these children, whom we would like to provide
for this Christmas. In the main office, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up. If
you wish to participate, choose a paper tree that has a child’s information
about his/her size for shoes and socks.
Purchase the new items and return them to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by
Wednesday, December 7th, unwrapped, with the tree tag taped to it. Thank you
for giving this Christmas!
