Please make sure they bring money on May 15th as they will experience what buying their snack at the food court will be like next year. Also, remember Rising 6th-graders' Parent Orientation is this May 16 from 7:15-8:30, and our Spanish session on the same day from 1:15-2:30 in the OSSI Room. 5th-graders are in the process of electing their STUCO 6th-grade representative for next year.
Elections will be held on May 17th! Our last Student-Led Conferences are coming up this May 20th and May 22nd. Please sign up by clicking on your child's homeroom class link. Looking ahead, we want to share some information about the 5th-grade Promotion Ceremony. Students will wear the 6th-grade blue-and-white school uniform to symbolize the transition to middle school.

Spanish Literacy
Learning Goal
Encontrar el significado del tema en el medio del problema a través de la interpretación de la lectura y tener ideas para crear teorías e interpretaciones más grandes.
What readers & writers are doing at school...
Los lectores pondrán más atención mientras leen porque tienen confianza en que se fijan en cosas por una razón y esperan lograr algo con las observaciones que otros habrían ignorado.
Pensarán temáticamente, nombrando primero el problema que enfrenta el personaje, y preguntándose luego, ‘¿Qué lecciones aprendió el personaje de ese problema?’ o ’¿Qué quiere el autor que yo sepa sobre ese problema o asunto?'
Los lectores unirán sus ideas para crear teorías o interpretaciones más grandes. A medida que van pensando en la manera de conectar las ideas, se preguntan, ‘¿Podría haber una lección o verdad más grande aquí?’
Dividirán en partes, luego selecciona, establece un orden y comparán las actuaciones o pensamientos de los personajes. Una ‘Voy a intentar pensar . . .’ y luego pensar de cualquiera de esas maneras . . . para luego ver si el pensamiento provee nuevas ideas o perspicacias. Con frecuencia, eso es lo que sucede.

Dear Families,
I'm thrilled to share that our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) lessons for this academic year have come to a close. Reflecting on the journey we've embarked on together, I couldn't be prouder of the growth I've witnessed in your children. From mastering mindfulness techniques to navigating emotions with resilience, they've embraced every lesson with enthusiasm and openness. Witnessing their development in expressing empathy, managing conflicts constructively, and fostering positive relationships has been truly inspiring. Thank you for your continued support in reinforcing these essential skills at home. Here's to celebrating their progress and looking forward to further growth in the future. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments.
Warm regards,
Ms. Ximena Salaverri,
Primary counselor.
