- Dear Families,
-
- Dear Prep I
Parents,
-
- We look forward to seeing Father
Christmas and giving him a gift for children supported by the
Arche' Association here in Rome. Thank you for sending in a small
present.
-
- There will be no homework given over the
holiday break.
-
- We are concluding our unit on Farms to
Cities. Your child will be bringing home a folder of the various
projects completed. Please look over his/her work. The trip to
the farm and our projects, we hope, helped in understanding how
food products arrive from farm to shops; the projects were also
FUN!
-
- We have altered the topics somewhat for
December and January. The order has been changed. In December we
are looking at families (Family Tales) and then in January when
returning from holidays, we will start our unit on Fairy Tales.
We will look at who makes up a family and your child's place /
role. We will also talk about changes in families as children
grow up. This Friday for Show and Share we are asking you to
send in family pictures and pictures of your child when he/she was
little. These will be kept for a timeline project, but then
returned to you. THANK YOU! If you have any pictures of your
child celebrating special events (birthdays, a holiday) those are
welcome too!

December 15th. Our time to visit the Bazaar is 10:00. Please
send in a bit of money in an envelope with your child's name.
They will be able to buy little gifts, and a snack.

- We will also have a holiday party on
Monday, the 18th with our Buddies. If you wish, could you send in
a small amount of party food/drinks or Christmas
candies/chocolates for that day. Thank you as always!

- The last day of school is Wednesday,
December 20th. School finishes at 3:30 as usual. There are
after school clubs that day. Please send us a note and call Ms.
Gigi regarding bus changes or if your child will be picked up that
day.
-
- Please note that in January we teachers
will help your child learn to tie his/her own shoe laces. We will
have some in school practice, but we wanted to ask you to please
work on it over the holiday if your child does not yet know this
skill. Let's all try together!
-
- We have had a wonderful start to the
school year and look forward to the next period from January 8,
2007 on. We thank you for all your support and wish you a
wonderful vacation and holidays. Thank you for your kind words
throughout these months.
