WEEK OF MAY 29- JUNE 2

We want to give a big “Thank You” to all of the parents for the beautiful teacher’s gifts!  We are surely going to enjoy all the treats. Thanks again for the appreciation!

These last few weeks the students have been learning about capital letters and we have discussed when it is appropriate to use them.  They matched the capital to the corresponding lower case letter.

In math the students will learn the numbers 11, 12, 13, 14, and, 15. The children need to identify these numerals out of order, they also need to make groups with these amounts, and they have to learn how to write them.

The students have been practicing the sight words but are getting confused with the words the and that, please practice these words with them at home.

WEEK OF MAY 21-25

Dear parents:

 During this week the children practiced their reading skills. We played various games to identify the sight words and we practiced the correct form of handling a book when they read. Also they observed the correct form to turn the pages and to move their eyes from left to right.

 In math, the children counted and ordered the numbers from one to twelve.
Next week we are going to continue practicing these numbers.

 In science, they are going to continue learning about magnets.

In language we will introduce the capital letters with the zoo-phonics program.

Nicolas Wheeler is leaving us for this reason we will have a small fare well party on Tuesday May 22ⁿ at 10:00 am, here at Discovery School. Your child does not need to bring a snack on this day.

WEEK OF MAY 14-18

Dear parents, during this week the children will continue to study rhyming. The children will listen to a collection of nursery rhymes. Nursery rhymes not merely tell stories. They help children to learn the sounds of the language. Simple words that rhyme add a delightful touch to these little poems for little ones. You can find many popular nursery rhymes for your child to learn and recite. We will send you some of the nursery rhymes we recite in school, so you can practice them at home.

In science the children will explore magnets, if you have magnetic toys or magnets please let us borrow them to enrich this unit with a variety of materials.

We want to invite you to celebrate Father´s and Mother´s day with your little ones.

Dear Parents:

During this week the students will learn about “heavy and light”. The children will do several exercises and experiments with different weights. To reinforce fine motor skills the children will do several tracing activities. The main reason for doing these exercises is to develop good writing habits in the children. Vertical lines need to start at the top, and horizontal lines begin at the left side. Circles follow a counterclockwise direction. Please encourage these good habits at home.

This week we will introduce community helpers. We will take a walk around the school campus to get to know all the people who works and helps us every day here at Discovery School. The students will make a book with all the information they gather.



Thanks so much to the DPTO officers who came to talk about dental health, the children enjoyed watching the educational video, the visit of Dr. Muelitas and the dental care package. The dentist explained them how to brush their teeth. The DPTO officers explained that the purpose of this activity is to raise awareness about the importance of taking good care of their teeth and this begins with good dental hygiene.
