Some of the stories that we will be reading this week are:

While Sophie and her mother are sitting down to tea one afternoon, the doorbell rings. A big, furry, stripy tiger has come for tea...and sandwiches, and buns, and biscuits...and eats all the food in the house until there's nothing left to cook for Daddy's supper.

RHYME OF THE WEEK:

As you already know, this Thursday we are all going to Valentina’s house  for our Easter Egg Hunt. We are going to be leaving the school around 8:00 a.m. and returning around 12:00 p.m. If your child comes to school by car, try to be here before 8:00 since we will be leaving promptly at the time stated. The children only need to bring lunch since we will be eating snack at the celebration. You are more than welcome to join us if you wish. 

Also we are requesting for each child to bring 5 eggshells. The children will decorate them at school to take to the party. To do this, you simply make a hole with a needle at each end of the egg. Blow through one of the holes until all the egg white and yolk has come out. Please make sure that you clean them and have them sent to school completely dry. These eggshells should be in school by Tuesday, March 15^th. If you can send more than 5 they are more than welcome.

We have talked to the students that we have started the hot season in Honduras. Please provide your child with a water bottle every day. Have them wear light clothes; they can bring a hat to protect from the sun, put sunscreen on their face and arms.

In Honduras we celebrate Father´s Day on March 19th. We would like to invite all of our DADDIES to have Donuts with your child on Friday March 18th at 8:00 a.m. Please be on time since we will start promptly. We are planning on having something nice prepared for you. We hope you can come and spend some time with your child at school.

This week we will be learning about plants and what do they need to grow!

III QUARTER REPORT CARDS AND CONFERENCES - Report cards will be sent home with your child on Friday, March 18, if there is no need for a conference.

We strongly advise you to come to school and meet with your child's teachers.
