REMINDERS!
- We are still in need of shoe boxes! Please send in any extra if you have not sent any in please make sure to do so. We are about to start building and want to make sure each child has one! Thanks so much!
- Yellow Take Home Folders have gone home today! Some of the work is not yet finished so please feel free to complete these at home with your child. Also remember to return the empty folders on Monday!
- We have a classroom trip to SIMS Recycling Center on Thursday November 19. We will be boarding the bus at 10:00am and leaving the SIMS Recycling Center from 1-1:30pm. Thank you to the parent volunteers who are coming over to help! If you are a parent who is coming on this trip, please make sure to be at the school by 9:30am.
- Special Spot Photos! Last Call! Please make sure if you have not yet done so to send us a picture of your child's favorite spot in their home. It is very helpful when students can get a deeper understanding and make connections to others homes within their own class!
- POTLUCK - 1A is planning on having their very own first POTLUCK on Wednesday November 25. We know it is very difficult for parents to come in but we would love to have you come over and have a mini Thanksgiving with our 1A friends. We will send out further details when the dates get closer
THANK YOU!!!
Monster Mashing!
Food Policy
Brooklyn Prospect Charter School believes that no student should go hungry throughout the school day. As such, if a student requests any meal (breakfast, snack, and/or lunch), that student will be served and their meal account will be charged with the expectation that all charges be paid in full by the student's family each billing cycle. To stay apprised of your student's meal account, families may log into TeacherEase to obtain up-to-date information. We strongly encourage families to prepay for meals and/or provide students with meals each day to avoid any unexpected charges. In addition, if you believe that you qualify for free or reduced meal status, please complete and submit an application as soon as possible. To request an application, contact our main number at 718-722-7634.
A Science Update From Ms. Rosabal!
¡1A baila, canta y hace teatro en Español!
1A continues to explore the Spanish Language through Immersion. At the beginning of November we celebrated el Día de los Muertos by creating an altar for those who pass away. We learned that this tradition is part of cultural experience in some Spanish Speaking countries but mostly in México. We also learned and understand that is not a sad celebration but instead a happy one that remember happy moments with those who are not longer with us.
Now we are learning different types of casas (houses) and we are so excited with our new song. (Check out the lyrics and the video below.) We also created a puppet show based on one of our favorite classic story: Los tres cerditos.
Please continue practicing at home our song and new vocabulary words.
