Queridos Padres,
Thank you so much to all parents for coming to our info meetings last week Thursday. It was a pleasure to meet you! I’d also like to thank Erin Bremer our fearless room-mom leader, for heading up this year’s parent volunteers. Thanks to all of you who have already volunteered to help out this year. I am blown away!
Finally, I am looking forward to this first full week of school. We have practiced most routines and classroom expectations and will begin to pick up the pace a bit more as we dive deeper into academic content. Parents, I’ve tried to take a lot of pictures and put them on Facebook with the hope that you will get a glimpse of how hard your child has been working.
Thanks for your continued prayers for unity throughout this year!
Blessings,
Hilda Durán
This Week:
Bible Memory Verse: James 1: 19-20 Due Date: September 14
Bible: We will continue learning from the book of James and its lessons
to Christians. This week our key lessons will be controlling our tongues (a tough one!) and the power of prayer. During this time I teach them about how much God loves it when we talk to him because he wants to be our father, savior, and best friend. Finally, keep working on our Bible memory work as I will give a fill-in-the-blank quiz. Thanks for sending words of encouragement to their practices on seesaw, that means a lot to them :)
Literature Selection: La Señorita Nelson ha desaparecido (Miss Nelson is Missing)

Literature Selection: La Señorita Nelson ha desaparecido (Miss Nelson is Missing)
Phonics: syllable classification: los diphthongs
Word Wall Words: fui, afuera, luego, puedo, tiene.
Poem: Lo que no muere
Reading: We will work on going back to reread when we don’t
understand something. We will also begin reading with a friend as part of our Daily 3 reading this week and will spend much time practicing how to do this well! Finally, we will learn about “good fit books” as books that fit our purpose (to learn, be entertained), interests (animals, adventures, humor), level of comprehension (do I understand what I read?), and knowledge of the words (can I read most of them well?).
Writing: Our writer’s workshop is busy with story writing! This week we’ll learn more about discovering small moments, partnerships in writing, and stretching out small moment stories with many details.
Math: We are working finding teen Math Mountains and relate to addition problems with two unknown addends; practice addition and subtraction with totals less than or equal to 20.
Social Studies: This week we will continue describing different communities, comparing different kinds of communities and knowing our Local Community, Zeeland.
“Housekeeping” Items:
Library books: Our first library day will be Monday, Sept. 9. Your child
will be allowed to take 2 books home, both of which should be returned next week Monday so that he/she can check out 2 new books!
Children are invited to bring something special to share with their friends. For years I have been doing it not only to promote the production of the second language but also to help them socialize. Thank you for all your support. :)
September 26: Field trip to Crane’s Apple Orchard! Kids will need a sack lunch, drink, good walking shoes, and dressed for the weather. We will leave right away in the morning (8:50) and return after lunch. Thanks in advance for all your help with it!
September 27: No School
September 30-October3: School Pictures
