WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 17-20

A long weekend is always a good time to recharge our batteries! We hope  our children are ready for the new and exciting challenges that we have for the second half of the first quarter of the school year.


 
 We would like to thank each one of you for everything you sent last Thursday for our ''Desayuno Catracho''. The students enjoyed tasting tamales, taquitos, baleadas, corn, catrachitas and more.





 MIDTERM REPORTS were issued last Thursday, September 12. We encourage parents to go over them and discuss them with your child(ren), sign them and send them back to school. If you would like a conference, and one was not requested, please call the school to set up an appointment.







 Some of the stories we will be reading this week:

Our shape for this week will be the square. Students will do fine motor skills exercises cutting and gluing squares.
 
 
We will learn the rhyme: ''Five Little Ducks''
 
 
 
SCHOOL ANNOUNCEMENTS
 


DPTO – The Discovery Parent-Teacher Organization (DPTO) works to help the school fundraiser for projects and provide fun activities for our students, parents, and teachers! Anyone interested in joining and help to organize events is more than welcome to join us, as we meet every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. in the school Cafeteria.

You can pay the fee in the Finance Office to Ms. Belgica Varela, or your homeroom teacher. You will receive a receipt from the school. Parents who still have not done so, please fill out our survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Q6QY2VF
