UN: Kindness Begins At Home

Kindness Begins At Home.

Students have spent the last two weeks learning about the different ways the UN has helped countries around the world.  They expanded their learning into their communities and took action to help the children of Honduras who were less fortunate.

Students prepared sandwiches, donated old toys and clothing, and went out to give this small gesture of hope to those in need.  Below are pictures and videos of their generosity and kindness.

ABSH Spelling Bee
This week we will be having our class Spelling Bee. The winner will represent the fifth grade class at the ABSH Spelling Bee in San Pedro Sula in February 2016. You can find the list of words on this blog.

U.S. Embassy Tour

On Thursday, October 29, the fifth graders visited the U.S. Embassy. It was a very informative visit where the students learned about what every department does within the embassy as well as how an embassy helps the "host" and "home" country. Our students were excited to meet Ambassador Nealon and asked many questions and were very inquisitive about his work in the embassy. Thank you to the Moms who accompanied us, Enjoy the pictures.

Book Character Day

Book Character Day was a lot of fun! Students dressed up as their favorite story character!

For students that are interested in participating in our fifth grade Spelling Bee, here is the fifth grade list of words. Please practice spelling these words. For the Spelling Bee, you must say the word, spell it and say the word again. Next week we will be having our first class spelling bee to choose our grade representative.

October 26-30th

Giving back to those in need.
Thank you to the students who took the time to give to the less fortunate children of Honduras this weekend.  We have received some videos and pictures.  You have done a wonderful thing.  The UN would be proud.  For those of you who would still like to give back to society, there is still time.  This could be done anytime.  Make sure to send your evidence to your teacher.
