Weekly Newsletter

The Week of September 17th

Welcome Back

We hope this newsletter finds you and your family safe and recovering from the aftermath of Irma. Please know that if you or your student need anything, we would like to offer our support through this tough time. If you are aware of any other student/family who have been affected by the storm and need any kind of assistance, please let us know and we will see what we can do to help out. 
We have been up to the school and there has been no damage to our classroom. Our class pets are safe and will be happy to see students return on Monday!

Ten Marks

 All students have been given a login for TenMarks math. A letter with login information is also going home with each student. We will be using this online program in the classroom, and students are welcome to use it at home as well. If you know from prior experience that your child struggles in math or needs more practice than the Eureka! Math sheets can provide, TenMarks is another great option. In addition, if the work that has been assigned to be completed in the classroom has not been completed that week, we ask that your child complete it at home so as not to fall behind. If internet access is an issue for your family, please email Ms. Jazmin at Jazmin.Corbell@sccpss.com so that she can guide you on the next steps. 

Ms. Jazmin assigns specific work that has a due date. Students are expected to complete the work by the due date.

Songs for Fluency

Our community is trying something new. We will be introducing a new song to students weekly. It is our intention that the children learn a new song in school on Monday and practice it every night with their families. We will send home song lyrics so that your child can practice. These lyric sheets should return to school, with your child, each day. If you know that your child struggles with reading, this practice should be a nightly activity in your home, in addition to the 20 minutes of nightly reading. For reading fluency purposes, your child should place their finger under the word they are singing and follow along with the song on the page.This fun activity will help your child become a better reader and increase oral reading fluency!

Gathering Data and Creating a Bar Graph

Students voted on Ms. Jazmin's new pair of glasses and used their data to create a table and then a bar graph. I can't wait to see which glasses the most students voted for. Stay tuned for the big reveal!

Snack Preparation

Students are preparing and eating healthy snacks every day in the Learning Community! Thank you to all the families that have donated to our healthy snack initiative!
