Puerto Rico

Dear parents,
Last week our class finished studying about Puerto Rico. To end our unit Diego's mother and father came to our class and presented a slide show about Puerto Rico. They showed photos of Diego and his family in Puerto Rico. They also told us about the climate, the culture and the way of life. Since there are many Puerto Ricans here in the United States we also learned about places in the city that exhibit the Puerto Rican culture.
Diego's parents put together a booklet on Puerto Rico for each of the students to take home. It is really nice. ask your child to tell you what they know about this beautiful island.
Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Perez for their wonderful presentation and all of their hard work. Sincerely,
Mrs. Phillips

Sorry It Has Been So Long

Dear parents,
So much has happened since my last post. The children finished their paintings with the art teacher and they can be seen hanging on the bulletin board outside our classroom. We also did a whole unit on Russia and had a parent come into the class to talk to the children about her trip to Russia and why she went. i hope to post some photos of this event soon.
Our class has now moved on to a warmer climate as we are learning about Purto Rico. Students will be asked to do a short report about a rainforest animal over this weekend so plese give your child a helping hand. Thank you so much for your continued support of this project.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Phillips
