VOTING...

March 18, 2012

Today I voted for the first time in the Puerto Rico primaries.  It was such a good feeling to know that I can exercise my right and make a difference.  

I can only pray that the ones chosen by the people will fulfill their commitment with honesty and integrity. 

Let us thank God that we live in country where can go out and choose our leaders without the fear of being silenced or put in jail.  God bless America and God bless Puerto Rico!

PRACTICE WORDS K-1 & K-2

Dear Parents:

I am sending home a plastic bag with simple vocabulary words that your student will learn in English class. Please make sure they review every day at least for 15 minutes.  We will be forming sentences in class. 

I am going to attempt to give them a simple spelling practice test to see how many words they can spell correctly on their own.  We will practice the words in class as well. Thank you for your cooperation and support.   -Mrs. Soto

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Who was St. Patrick?

• St. Patrick is the Apostle of Ireland, born in Scotland in 387; died in Ireland on March 17, 461

• As a boy of fourteen or so, he was captured during a raiding party and taken to Ireland as a slave to herd and tend sheep. He learned the language and practices of the people who held him. While a slave he would pray:

•  "The love of God and his fear grew in me more and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same." "I prayed in the woods and on the mountain, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain."
   
• Patrick's captivity lasted until he was twenty, he escaped after having a dream from God in which he was told to leave Ireland by going to the coast.  He became a Bishop, worked many miracles and converted the people for 40 years. 
• Why a shamrock? St. Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity, and has been associated with him and the Irish since that time.

My Body and My Clothes

Dear Parents:

Next week we will begin with My Body and My Clothes for K-1 and K-2. I will glue the study sheet to their English notebook on Monday, March 19. 

Please begin studying with them.  They will have an oral evaluation in two weeks, on Friday, March 30.  We will be practicing in class as well.  Please practice everyday with them at home. 

As always, thank you for your cooperation and support. - Mrs. Soto
