Tutoring over the summer?
Hello NFSI families!
Summer is just around the corner…hopefully :) and perhaps some of you are wondering how to keep up with your child’s learning over the break. There are a few teachers from Nuevas Fronteras who will be available over the summer to hold tutoring sessions.
However, depending on the volume of interested families, we may have to further coordinate schedules and end-of-the-year student progress to determine which families we will be able to work with this summer as there are only a few of us available. If you are interested in hiring one of our amazing teachers to tutor your child over the summer please contact Leah Wieseler at lmwieseler@gmail.com by Friday, May 8th. Thank you, Leah (Srta. Wieseler)

Calling all crafty mommas and poppas:
I'm scheming up costumes for our class, which I think will be pretty cute (and inexpensive). If you can sew, or can iron (we'll be doing some iron transfer letters on their shirts), please let me know if you'd be willing to help us out!

Learning plans for the week of May 4, 2015
Dearest families,
Reading:
This next week, the kids will read El Sr. Putter y Tabby Vuelan el Avión by Cynthia Rylant.
Math:
The class is studying measurement and perimeter right now.
The kids are working on different lessons, but they'll all be covering the same material. I will pre-test before the next chapter, which is about capacity and weight. If the kids score well on the pre-test, I will ask them to do the independent practice for the chapter as homework (to make sure that they're familiar with the material) and have them work on the next chapter of which they don't pass the pre-test). I know this is a change, so if you have any questions, please let me know.
I will make a sincere attempt to send home the daily math lessons each day. Please go over the lesson at home to help reinforce the concepts. It should be relatively straight forward (there are usually examples), even if your first language isn't Spanish.
Writing:
The kids are working on writing letters.
We're also working on our presentation for the Festival Cultural. :)
