WEEK OF MARCH 9-12, 2015

Report cards are around the corner and we are going to be reviewing all the concepts that we have covered in class. This includes all the letters and sounds of the alphabet studied in this quarter, math concepts, and themes.

We will also be working with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Story. Children will be making fun activities with this Book.






We are going to continue talking about Dr. Seuss and watching some of his stories. If you would like to come in and do a special activity/craft or simply read to the students, do not hesitate to contact us so we can make it possible. On Wednesday, we are having a crazy hair day and they can also come dressed with their craziest  pijamas.




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.. 




Our Yearbook pictures will be taken on Tuesday, March 10^th. The PreKinders students will take it at 8:00 a.m. so we encourage our students to come dressed nicely!
