Brookview Parents and Caregivers,
We shared information yesterday regarding the Marion County Health Department’s requirement to move to virtual for K-12. We know this change can be overwhelming and create many questions that need to be answered. We are working to get these answers to you as soon as possible. Please know that Brookview is here for you to answer questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher or school. We may not have answers to everything at this time, but will work hard to communicate with you as soon as we do.
In order for our teachers to properly prepare for virtual learning Monday, November 23rd and Tuesday, November 24th will be eLearning days. These days will be different from virtual learning that your child will begin on Monday, November 30th. On these days students will log into Canvas and complete independent activities. Teachers will be available to answer questions from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. Please find the most up to date information we have on this transition to virtual below.

Brookview Families,
Readers and Leaders at Brookview - We believe that reading is critical to our students success. We want our students reading as much as possible. Our goal is to reach 10,000 books read! We are currently at 3,704 books! Please continue to encourage your children to read, read, read!

Phonological and Phonemic Awareness
Phonological awareness is a broad skill that includes identifying and manipulating units of oral language – parts such as words, syllables, and onsets and rimes. Children who have phonological awareness are able to identify and make oral rhymes, can clap out the number of syllables in a word, and can recognize words with the same initial sounds like 'money' and 'mother.'
Phonemic awareness refers to the specific ability to focus on and manipulate individual sounds (phonemes) in spoken words. Phonemes are the smallest units comprising spoken language. Phonemes combine to form syllables and words. For example, the word 'mat' has three phonemes: /m/ /a/ /t/. There are 44 phonemes in the English language, including sounds represented by letter combinations such as /th/. Acquiring phonemic awareness is important because it is the foundation for spelling and word recognition skills. Phonemic awareness is one of the best predictors of how well children will learn to read during the first two years of school instruction.
Students at risk for reading difficulty often have lower levels of phonological awareness and phonemic awareness than do their classmates. The good news is that phonemic awareness and phonological awareness can be developed through a number of activities.

Have an awesome weekend!
Textbook Rental Information
FYI. I received FY21 Textbook Rental data on Friday, October 2nd. All full pay student amounts have been loaded to parent accounts, on their Textbook Rental parent portal. The portal website is www.k12paymentcenter.com. Once these were loaded, I followed up with an email to these parents about the portal and amounts. With that said, you may begin seeing parents bring in payment for TBR or ask to complete a TBR application for assistance. If payment is made, please send me your receipt books so I can update their portal. If they wish to complete an application for assistance, they can also do this at www.lunchapplication.com.
As for paper invoices, Technology Dept is still working on these to be generated and mailed out asap. TBR due date is 11/30/2020. If parents wish to request for an extension, please have them email me this request, so I can have this in writing.
If you can include any of this information on your school newsletter, that would be greatly appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Car Rider Information
We have made a slight change to the car rider procedure for this year. For both Pick up and Drop off, the car rider line will utilize two lanes to reduce congestion. See map below for details.
WHO ARE WE?
At Brookview Elementary school, we strive to develop and enrich students to their full potential. One of the ways that we do this is by focusing on critical thinking, content knowledge, collaboration, citizenship, creativity, and resilience.
Teaching and Learning
Teaching and Learning Emphasis
At Brookview Elementary, we want our students to be strong readers! There are 5 major components to reading. I will be sharing information on each of the 5 components of reading over the next several weeks. Let's start with fluency.
What Is Fluency?
Fluency is the ability to read "like you speak." Hudson, Lane, and Pullen define fluency this way: "Reading fluency is made up of at least three key elements: accurate reading of connected text at a conversational rate with appropriate prosody or expression." Non-fluent readers suffer in at least one of these aspects of reading: they make many mistakes, they read slowly, or they don't read with appropriate expression and phrasing.
Many researchers have found that fluency is highly correlated with reading comprehension—that is, when a student reads fluently, that student is likely to comprehend what he or she is reading.
So how do we teach it?
Teacher Modeling
Examples of teacher modeling include:
- Teacher-assisted reading
- Peer-assisted reading
- Audio-assisted reading
Key point: Teacher modeling involves more than just listening to someone else read. Students must be actively involved 100 percent of the time and in a multi-sensory way.
Parents, you play a major role here as well. Allowing your children consistent opportunities to read to you is key. Every night, have your children read to you. This helps your child become a strong reader!

SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
SCHOOL DISTRICT PUBLICATIONS/NEWS MEDIA USE
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognitions if you notify Mr. Coleman by email that you do not want this type of information released.
