October Focus: Fall, Fluency, and Finalizing the First Quarter
Hello,
This month our focus is Fall, Fluency, and Finalizing the First quarter. Can you believe the first quarter is almost over?
We will be celebrating Fall on October 29th with opportunities to participate in person in the Tulsa area and the Oklahoma City area, as well as virtual options. Your community advisor will be sending more information as the day approaches.
Students have been working on increasing their fluency in classes, during Story Time, and by working in MindPlay. Every student has MindPlay on their course list. MindPlay is a supplemental reading program that is adaptive to your student’s level and covers the six main components of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, fluency, vocabulary, and grammar for meaning. Students who complete 30 minutes a day, five days a week, for ten weeks will achieve one full grade level of growth. Please reach out to your homeroom teacher for more questions about MindPlay and ensure your student is working in MindPlay daily.
The final day for the 1st quarter is October 12th. All work and lessons submitted by 5:00pm on October 12th will be included in the report card grade. Report cards will be emailed to the email address on file for the legal guardian on October 22nd.

Family Guides
The Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) is excited to share the Oklahoma Family Guides for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies for Pre-K through 6th Grade.
The OSDE Family Guides are resources aligned with the Oklahoma Academic Standards and developed specifically for Oklahoma families to complement classroom learning. They illustrate what is expected of students at each grade level in different content areas along with activities families can do at home to further support children's learning experiences.
