Hispanic Heritage Month
Every day during Hispanic Heritage Month our students will read a fact about a famous or notable Hispanic American. There will people featured such as Celia Cruz, Desi Arnaz, Nydia Velázquez, César Chávez and many more. Ask your child who was featured that day to see if they can tell you something about the Notable Hispanic American.
Talk About Technology
Technology often streamlines communications and brings cultures together. But when parents are striving to overcome both language and technology barriers simultaneously, the situation can be daunting. Parents are often more responsive to a technology event because the knowledge they gain can also benefit them on their jobs and in their daily lives as they make a stronger connection to the world around them. Parents need to learn not only the basics of computer use, but also the rules of digital citizenship. As parents gain these skills, they can be more supportive of their own student’s academic progress, which benefits schools. Parents also begin to view the school district as a source of valuable information for them as well as their students. Please RSVP to this event and the Zoom link will be sent to you.

6 Strategies to Improve Reading Comprehension
1. Have them read aloud.
2. Provide books at the right level.
3. Reread to build fluency.
4. Talk to the teacher.
5. Supplement their class reading.
6. Talk about what they're reading.
This "verbal processing" helps them remember and think through the themes of the book. Ask questions before, during, and after a session to encourage reading comprehension. (Read about all the questions you should ask during story time here!) For example:
- Before: "What are you interested in about this book? What doesn't interest you?"
- During: "What's going on in the book? Is it turning out the way you thought it would? What do you think will happen next?"
- After: "Can you summarize the book? What did you like about it? What other books does it remind you of?"
