September 8-12, 2008

This week we will be learning vocabulary about things in school. The words your child will be introduced to are listed below. There are too many words to remember them all.

We will be playing games to help your child learn many of these words, not all of them. Your child will also receive a picture dictionary that has pictures of all of these words. It will help them in the classroom.

You can help your child learn these words and other words by visiting some of the websites listed on the right side. Please read the important message at the bottom of the list!

Discovery meets on Wed. from 9:30-11:30 a.m. at 1st Baptist in CS. The meetings include a social time, basic English lessons, programs on interesting topics, and small group classes. This year the programs will focus on the theme of places to visit in the countries of the women in class and in Texas. .....After the program, the women can sign up to join a small interest group such as cooking sewing, crafts, cake decorating. ....

Child care is provided or preschool... The goal is helping international women improve their English and adjust to a new country through fun and friendship. Discovery has been meeting for 42 years.

Membership usually includes women from 20-40 countries.

Muchas mamás que se mudan a esta área, provenientes de otros países, tienen necesidades únicas, como adaptarse a una nuevo idioma y cultura .
Discovery empezó teniendo esas necesidades en mente. Discovery es un programa donde mujeres de todas partes del mundo se reúnen los miércoles de 9:30 a 11:30 a.m. en la 1ª Iglesia Bautista de College Station.
Las reuniones incluyen un rato de socialización, clases de inglés básico, programas sobre temas interesantes y clases en pequeños grupos. Este año los programas están enfocados a conocer sobre lugares para visitar tanto en Texas como en las ciudades de donde son las mujeres que asisten a Discovery. Después de este programa, las mujeres pueden anotarse para tomar clases, en pequeños grupos, de cocina, costura, manualidades y decoración de pasteles. También contamos con servicio de guardería.
El objetivo es ayudar a mujeres de otros países a mejorar su inglés y adaptarse al país de una manera divertida y amistosa. Discovery lleva reuniéndose 42 años y generalmente hay mujeres de entre 20 a 40 países.
La fecha para registrarse es el 24 de septiembre a las 9:00 a.m. www.discoveryprogram.us
