November 21-25

We hope you enjoyed your weekend! It is a short week, but a lot of things are happening, so make sure to read everything!

On Wednesday, November 23rd, we will have a Thanksgiving Lunch, so your child ONLY needs to bring a snack on this day.   There will be no school on Thursday and Friday (November 24th and 25th) because of the Thanksgiving Holidays. We would like to take the opportunity to thank all the parents that are involved in donating the food for this special celebration.
 For our Christmas celebration we would kindly request the help of the rest of you that were not involved this time.

Please remember to send back progress reports. They went home on Friday in your child's folder. 

Don't forget to send in your 5lbs of sugar. These food items are part of the Christmas food baskets given to our support staff. 

This week your child will be inquiring into the following:




This week your child will be reviewing all the Word Wall words with various chants and activities. Due to the short week, we will not have a spelling challenge this week! 



The students will read the story/song: Pilgrim, Pilgrim. 




Following the spirit of Thanksgiving, your child will write a letter and provide reasons for why they are thankful for that person. 


 The students will create a booklet about the three major types of clouds and learn about rain gauges. 

Vocabulary: stratus, cumulus, cirrus


This week your child will continue working on learning subtraction strategies.

For Discovery School, it is very important to teach our students about sharing and helping others. Angelitos Del Dia is a perfect way to help show our kids just how easy this can be and how we can make a difference in our community.
"Angelitos del Dia" helps newborn babies born at Materno Infantil Hospital here in Tegucigalpa. They provide moms with newborn essentials (blankets, pajamas, socks, hats, wash cloths, towels, diapers, baby wipes, baby soap and baby shampoo). 
Your child will be taking an empty bag home this week. Please feel free to donate as many items as you wish by placing them in the bag. Send the bag back by November 28th.
Look at the link below so you can see what it is all about.
