Nov 21-22





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 22nd, 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 23rd and 24th) because of the Thanksgiving Holidays. I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you parents for being very well organized and working together so we can celebrate together and have our Thanksgiving Lunch. Thank you for all of your constant support! It is very well appreciated!

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! 
We have been working a lot with nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Some students are having problems with the concept of what an Adjective is.

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






Following the spirit of Thanksgiving, your child will write a about things they are or feel Thankful for. 



We will continue learning about Light and Sound. This week we will review the special concepts of Transparent, Translucent and Opaque. Ask your little ones about these concepts!

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 took an empty bag home last week. Please feel free to donate as many items as you wish by placing them in the bag. A great way to get your child involved is to go through their baby clothes and have them choose items they would like to donate. Xtra and Emporio are also great places to shop for baby items. Please feel free to donate as many items as you wish.
Send the bags back in by Wednesday, December 6th. Thank you!!
