2 Estimados padres: Celebración de Actividad de la Puertorriqueñidad Fecha: 18 de noviembre de 2014 Lugar: Centro de Bellas Artes de Juana Díaz Hora: 9:00 am La cultura puertorriqueña es una muy diversa y rica en tradiciones y costumbres. Esta diversidad se la debemos a distintos acontecimientos históricos en nuestra historia como país que nos permitieron gozar de la influencia de otras etnias. Siempre se nos ha enseñado que nuestras raíces son el indio taíno, el español y los africanos. Sin embargo, poca relevancia se la otorgado al legado africano en nuestra cultura. En Washburn, estamos comprometidos con una educación integral y a pesar de ser una escuela de inmersión en inglés no perdemos de perspectiva nuestra cultura puertorriqueña. Es por esto que este año nuestra actividad de la puertorriqueñidad estará enfocada en el legado africano. La misma llevará por nombre Y tu abuela, a onde está?. Durante la celebración, se presentarán varios renglones en donde veremos cuan marcado es el legado africano en Puerto Rico. Estas serán trabajadas por salones hogares y están divididas de la siguiente manera: Ritmo y Baile - Pre-kinder, Kinder y Primer grado Instrumentos Musicales - Segundo grado Vestimenta - Tercero y Cuarto grado Historias y relatos presentados a través de la poesía negroide - Quinto y Sexto grado Costumbres y tradiciones recogidas en una pequeña obra -Intermedia y Superior Artes- Taller Estudio Frankie Rodríguez con los estudiantes del curso en el colegio Los maestros de cada salón hogar estarán ofreciendo más detalles próximamente. Esperamos que la actividad tenga el mismo éxito que ha tenido en años anteriores y que podamos contar con su apoyo como siempre. Mrs. Elizabeth Sánchez Academic Director Not submitted. Mrs. Magaly Jiménez Peña Social Worker Reciban un saludo cordial. Le informamos que durante esta semana le daremos seguimiento a diferentes situaciones identificadas que requieren de nuestra atención. Estaremos trabajando con modificación de conducta, acoso escolar y hábitos de estudio. Solicitamos su cooperación al dejarnos saber sobre cualquier situación que pudiera estar afectando el aprovechamiento académico del estudiantado. De igual forma, nos mantenemos activos con el Club de Trabajo Social que ya está próximo a informar su nombre oficial y directiva. Nos estaremos reuniendo el próximo miércoles, 5 de noviembre a las 3:00 PM para esos fines. Para ese día, los estudiantes tienen la tarea de traer

3 recortes de noticias positivas publicadas en los periódicos del país con el propósito de decorar un bulletin board para resaltar cualidades y todo lo bueno que ocurre a nuestro alrededor. De esa forma, contribuimos a mantener un ambiente optimista y propicio para el aprendizaje. El optimismo es la fe que conduce al éxito. Nada puede hacerse sin esperanza y confianza. ~Helen Keller Mrs. Carmelita Torres Librarian Week of November 3 7, 2014 Hi parents, This week the library continues bringing the opportunity to students to check out new books that have been prepared during the week.

Las ciencias juegan un papel importante en todo este proceso. Por esto, año tras año promovemos la Feria Científica. La misma será celebrada durante la segunda semana de diciembre. La razón para que sea celebrada durante el primer semestre es que tenemos la meta de llevar representación de nuestro colegio a la Feria Científica de Distrito de Ponce la cual se celebra para el mes de febrero. Creemos en el potencial de nuestros estudiantes y entendemos que podemos llevar una buena representación del mismo. Los maestros de ciencias estarán ofreciendo más detalles al respecto.
