LITTLE INDIAN UPDATES
Vero Beach Elementary Newsletter - October 2016
A Message from the Chiefs:
We hope every family is feeling welcomed on our campus. We have spent time creating family-forward activities: time to meet with every parent or guardian to give a personalized view of their educational experience at VBE last week during conferences, and have asked for feedback during our FAM-UNITY Coffee Talks. Our doors are open and we want you here at lunch, volunteering, and providing feedback on the learning experiences we are offering. It takes a TRIBE!
Finally, our school-wide focus this year is on writing. Our teachers are taking the students through a two-week writing process that involves direct feedback and improvement strategies that are differentiated for every student. The students are then given an opportunity to rewrite and show all the growth they've made in the process. Please celebrate when you see the progress your Little Indian is making, and help us build a community of readers and writers.
Thank you for your continuous support as we work toward that "A" status!
Sincerely,
Cynthia Emerson & Rachel Moree

Labels of Love - A Literacy Strategy
Word recognition and vocabulary are important parts of reading. On a rainy day, get some paper and tape and start labeling everything in your home -- from furniture to small knick-knacks. Reading these labels repeatedly will build your child’s mental word bank. If your family is bilingual, create labels in both languages!
