We hope everyone had an awesome weekend.

We need your support for this day with 12 plastic eggs and Lps. 100.00 which will include the transportation to and from Valentina’s house to school, the candies for the plastic eggs, the Easter basket and a piñata. You can join us on this day. We will be leaving school at 8:15am and coming back to school at 11:15am.

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 Vv. The vocabulary words for this letter are: van, volcano, violin, vegetables, vest, vase, vote, vaccum, vinegar, vet

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 Tuesday and we will send them back on Friday. For this week we have Valentina (Prek”A”) and Sophia (Prek”B”).

Thank you for your support!!
