WEEK OF NOVEMBER 26-30

Thank you to all parents who organized the Thanksgiving feast!  Everything tasted great! The children enjoyed the story about the first Thanksgiving celebration and they were very eager to make the turkey craft. Everything was just right.

We have only a few weeks left in this semester and they will be very busy ones. 

 The Discovery School Song Fest (to be held on Tuesday, December 18 at 6:00 p.m.) is around the corner! This year, the Music Department is making a very special celebration as an extension of their Music classes. The children will sing and dance beautiful Disney or famous movie themes. The Music teachers need your cooperation by providing dresses for your child:

NURSERY AND PK - Song to perform: “It’s A Small World After All”. The children need to dress up as: The Princess, Mickey, Minnie, Pluto or any other Disney character.

The dress needs to be ready for Thursday December 13th for the General Dress Rehearsal!

 

We will be learning about holidays and the traditions that different families celebrate around the world. They will also learn about food.

In math we will introduce the numbers 5 and 6.

During the holiday season we would like to invite you to come to our class and share with all the children a special tradition your family observes to commemorate the holidays. If you would like to participate please contact us and we can set up a day for you to come.  An easy cooking activity or an art project related to this celebration would be much appreciated .

CHRISTMAS BASKETS FOR OUR SUPPORT PERSONNEL – Christmas is the season to open our hearts and share with those around us that need it most. It has been a tradition at Discovery School for students to come together and contribute in assembling baskets of goods for our support personnel. We are asking for your cooperation in sending the following:

Please feel free to send any additional goodies that you want to share with our devoted staff, such as canned goods, instant soups, cookies and crackers, or anything else that does not require refrigeration. Please send these items no later than Friday, December 14^th. Your participation will be deeply appreciated.

On Tuesday, November 27 we will celebrate Vanessa's birthday. She will have a small snack to share with all the children.
