WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 16-18, 2015

Dear Parents, 

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 Friday for our “Desayuno Catracho”. The students enjoyed tasting Tamales, Baleadas, Catrachitas, Platanitos, Tacos, Pupusas, lemonade and Horchata! 

Midterm Reports were issued last Thursday, September 10th. Please go over them, 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.

This week we will be reviewing letter from a-d. We will be doing fun activities to review vocabulary and sounds.

We will review numbers, shapes and colors and we will be doing lots of fine motor skills exercises with sensory activities.
