Welcome to October Robles Families! This is a great time of year, as we close out the first quarter, it is a time for us to celebrate students. Before beginning the new second quarter. As a result we have our first Bobcats of Excellence Assembly. We also shee the weather begin to cool down which is a nice change for students and staff.

Our first Bobcats of Excellence Assembly will be on October 14th. More information will be provided to parents in the coming weeks. We will also be having an Anti-Bullying Assembly thanks to the Attorney General’s Outreach program. This will help all students and staff to have a shared understanding of ways that we can all do our part to prevent bullying.

The Scholastics United States of Reader program is well underway. The selected book will arrive at the campus during Fall Break and will be distributed to students when they return. October is National Book Month. We encourage families to read together and enjoy the books that your student will be receiving this school year.

Thank you to all the families that attended our Grandparents' Day Luncheon. We look forward to having more family events this school year. We are proud to be your educational partner in the community.

Sincerely,

Dustie Gunn-Ader

Robles Principal

Kindergarten Friend Update from your Teachers Mrs. Dela Paz & Mrs. Pedrego

Wow, can you believe we have been together for 6 weeks now! We have been practicing many skills from Letter Recognition, to Letter Sounds, Rhyming, Story Comprehension, Number Recognition, Community Helpers, and learning about living and nonliving. But there is so much more to come!

Our Kinder Bobcats are learning all about our R.O.A.R expectations that we have implemented in our school.

• R- Respect

• O- Open- Minded

• A- Accountable

• R- Respectful

We cannot be more excited to say that we have so many tools for our kiddos. Introducing our Reading Program SIPPS during our reteach and enrichment hour. This program is designed to assist students who struggle with reading. It is designed to help from letter recognition to reading comprehension. It allows us to fill in the gaps that many children may have. This is a program we are beyond excited to push through! With this we are confident that our kinder friends will learn to read and will be ready for 1st grade!

During our reading and math blocks, we implement centers. Centers give students the opportunity to self-direct as they apply skills and strategies in fun, and engaging ways. It also allows us to accommodate different learning styles that children have. Finally, centers allow teachers to address the distinct needs of small groups of students.

We are so excited to be part of our kindergarten Bobcats. As the students show their eagerness and excitement about being in school ready to learn. I hear many students tell me “I want to learn to read!” It is the fuel and inspiration teachers need!
