Week of November 1st. - November 5th.

 Hi Parents,

What a wonderful time we had last week. Thanks to you all for your cooperation and participation.

This week we are working with words that start with “m”, “p” and “s” so don’t forget that our children are allowed to bring something for show and tell which name in Spanish starts with those letters.

Our subject for this month is the parts of our body, the words to review are:

Las pestañas = the eyelashes

El talón = the heel

Los párpados = the eyelids

Las cejas – the eyebrows

El corazón = the heart

Los pulmones – the lungs

Los intestinos = the intestines

El estómago – the stomach

El cerebro – the brain

El pavo = the turkey

Ensayar = rehearse

Our rehearsals for the Thanksgiving show already started. We are so excited! You will receive more detailed information on how they need to be dressed, etc in a note that we will leave in your child’s cubbies. Details about the party will be shown in the November News.

Have a great weekend!

Miss Iris & Miss Claudia

Dear Parents

After our great field trip last week, our children started writing their own memory books. We will prepare a space to create our own mini library for the books we produce. Feel free to take a look at it whenever you have a chance.

This Friday is Costume Party! The children are welcome to wear a costume (not scary and no weapons please), we will have a parade and fun games.You can contact  our room parents Mrs. Eliana if you have an idea for this special occasion for our ositos. Unfortunately, because of the limited space, only children that attend school on Fridays can come. Parents are welcome to accompany us and take pictures anytime from 10am to 12noon.

Also, I would like to remind you regarding your child’s change of clothes. Please make sure your child has always one set of clothes available and appropriate for this cooler weather.

Again thank you for your attention and cooperation

Ms. Iris & Ms Claudia
