NEWSLETTER WEEK: January 4 – 6, 2012  

Happy New Year! We wish you all the best for 2012. We hope you were able to rest and enjoy the Christmas holiday with your loved ones and friends.

This is what we will cover this week:

SPELLING: Fry’s List Review. No spelling test this short week.

MATH: Review addition and subtraction, money, Problem solving and MAP test review.

READ ALOUD: George Marvelous Medicine by Roald Dahl.

R/W: Reading comprehension questions. Understanding and following instructions. Journal: Write about their Christmas holiday.

DOL (Daily Oral Language): Self correct sentences.

HERE ARE A FEW REMINDERS TO START OFF THE YEAR!

Sweaters/Jackets and Other Objects: we ask parents to label all their child’s belongings with a permanent marker. This makes it easier for us to help you look for things if they are misplaced or lost. We also ask for your cooperation by sending back with your child any item he/she brings home that does not belong to him, and to notify the homeroom teacher about it (by text message, email or phone call).

Report Cards and Conferences: Report Cards will be issued on Friday, January 13. This is an early dismissal (AM Schedule) day for students. Conferences are on a need basis.

Parent Workshop: Our school counselor, Ms. Ivonne Casco, will be hosting a workshop for parents on Friday, January 20, at 1:30 p.m.

Professional Development Wednesday: Our third Staff Development Wednesday will take place on Wednesday, January 18. This is an early dismissal day (PM Schedule) for students.


DPTO Fun Run: Our annual school Fun Run will take place on Saturday, January 28, from 8:30 a.m. There will be the traditional run, games, and a complimentary pancake and fruit breakfast to follow. The pledge forms were sent before the Winter Holiday; however, if you would like an additional copy, please download it from the administration blogs.

We hope to see you soon!

Ms. Muriel Chávez & Ms. Elena Borjas
