Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Tepezcuintles: (Camila,Juan Camilo, Valentina): Brown and Beige.
Tacuazines: (Emma, AnaPaula and Ivanna) need to come wearing gray for the presentation.
We are making the cuzuco,tepezcuintles and tacuazines visors here in school.
Date, Time and Location – Our Songfest this year will take place in MACC - on Friday, December 9 at 6:00 p.m. A map will be sent to your email with specific directions on how to get there. This day we will be releasing our students at 11: 45 a.m. so our teachers and music department can transport all the necessary instruments and do the appropriate set up for the event.
Performances and Parent Collaboration – Parents are asked to cooperate with our Song Fest in making sure their students are dressed properly for their presentations, and making sure the students are at the venue no later that 5:30 p.m. Please note the descriptions below. If any parent has a question, please contact your homeroom teacher.
This week will be a Review Week. We will be reviewing all the colors and vocabulary we have learned.
We will be doing an author study this week about Lois Ehlert. If you have any books about this wonderful author please send them with your child to school. We will be reading some of her books and watching interesting videos about the way she creates her books.
Some of the books that we chose to read in class are the following:
Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos (NPH) is an international organization that takes in abandoned and orphaned children, providing a home and education. Here in Honduras, the NPH organization provides for over 500 children in at large ranch near La Venta and home in Tegucigalpa for severely handicapped children. While many children at the ranch have aunts, uncles, or grandparents that come to visit them and can provide some Christmas gifts, some children at a ranch have no family to visit. It is these children, whom we would like to provide for this Christmas. In the main office, a NPH Giving Tree will be set up. If you wish to participate, choose a paper tree that has a child’s information about his/her size for shoes and socks.
Purchase the new items and return to Mrs. Agurcia’s Room (Rm. 7) by Wednesday, December 7th, unwrapped, with the tree tag taped to it. Thank you for giving this Christmas!
