Annual “Book Fair”

We invite you to visit our Annual Book Fair and experience a celebration of reading that

provides families the opportunity to get involved in a universal mission: encouraging kids to

read every day so they can lead better lives. Giving kids access to good books and the

opportunity to choose their own books will motivate them to read more. And like most acquired

skills, the more kids practice reading, the better they’ll get.

Book Fair Dates: March 5th to 8th, 2018 Shopping Hours: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM

Saludos padres, madres y estudiantes:

Esta semana estaremos ofreciendo el tercer y último taller sobre pubertad a los estudiantes de

sexto grado. Los primeros dos talleres fueron de gran provecho para los estudiantes, quienes

participaron activamente y clarificaron muchas dudas. También daremos seguimiento al

segundo y quinto grado con temas relacionados al cultivo de buenas relaciones interpersonales.

De igual modo, comenzaremos con la venta de camisetas del evento Relevo por la Vida de la

Sociedad Americana contra el Cáncer de Puerto Rico a celebrarse el 6 de mayo de 2018 en el

Estadio Francisco “Paquito” Montaner de Ponce.

Le recordamos que el 15 de marzo celebraremos nuestro Talent Show, motive a su hijo a que

participe. Además le esperamos el 16 de marzo en el Parents and Teachers Conference,

momento importante para conocer sobre el aprovechamiento académico y conducta de su hijo.

Greetings to all,

This last week was full of activities. This coming week is also full of fun and learning.

We will still be practicing our numbers 1 - 8. It is normal for children this age to invert the

numbers 2, 3, 5 ,7 but with lots of practice they will get better.

This week we will introduce number 9.

In our book "Pockets", we are still talking about foods we like and dislike; healthy and non-

healthy foods; good snacks.

We are practicing for our upcoming Talent Show to give you a good show.
