NEWS LETTER / BOLETIN INFORMATIVO

A newsletter at an elementary school is a regular update from the teacher or school to keep parents informed about what’s happening in the classroom. It includes important information like upcoming events, what students are learning, and reminders. For first-grade parents, it helps you stay connected with your child's education and know how to support their learning at home.

What's happening in our classroom?

¿Qué está pasando en nuestra clase?

Litearcy/Literatura

In this unit, students are exploring the natural world and learning about habitats. We are discovering different types of habitats, the plants and animals that live in them, and how they are all connected.

Students are also learning how animals survive in their environments and how they are adapted to their habitats. We are beginning to explore food chains and how living things depend on each other.

This unit helps students understand nature and builds a foundation for caring for our environment.

Math/MatematicAs

In this unit, students are reviewing and practicing the most important math skills they have learned this year. This is the last unit of the school year!

We are working on adding and subtracting within 20, while building fluency within 10. Students are also solving story problems and practicing how to understand and explain their thinking. In addition, they are working on counting and representing numbers up to 120.

These skills are very important as they get ready for second grade, where they will continue learning about place value and work with larger numbers.

The activities in this unit can be done in different orders, giving students many opportunities to practice, build confidence, and strengthen their math skills.

EMOTIONAL LEARNING / DESARROLLO EMOCIONAL

We will keep learning about how to be a good learner: focus, listen, talk to yourself and be assertive. We will be practicing communication skills in our morning circle!

THE MORNING SONG /

LA CANCIóN DE BUENOS DíAS

The students are learning the lyrics of our morning songs called

“Who am I".

We encourage you to practice at home!

ALL THE SONGS HERE TO ENJOY THIS SUMMER !!

GROW UP SINGING

This is one of the music groups we’ve loved listening to this school year—check out their website here!

Sing. Dance. Learn. Enjoy. Live. This is the spirit behind Grow Up Singing, a project that blends music and learning to enrich children's development. Its message is simple: music not only fosters growth in young minds but also creates unforgettable moments of family connection.

With high-quality production, diverse rhythms, and styles, its songs and music videos aim to inspire values and strengthen the bond between music and education. Moreover, its pedagogical approach makes it an ideal tool for school settings, offering unique resources for teachers and families worldwide.

HOMEROOM TEACHER

I was born and raised in Catalonia, Spain, and this is my third year teaching in the United States, marking my 15th year as an Elementary Teacher. I speak Catalan, English, and Spanish, and I’ve recently studied Elementary Montessori Education for children aged 6 to 12. Additionally, I’m a qualified Speech Therapist, which helps me support students in developing strong communication skills.

I love traveling, exploring new cultures, and spending time in nature, especially backcountry skiing. These passions enrich my teaching by bringing real-world connections to the classroom.

This year, I’ll be teaching Math, Science, Literacy, SEL and small groups in Spanish, and I’m excited to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment for all students.

I'm so excited to get to know you this year!

Ms. Alba

Nací y crecí en Cataluña, España, y este es mi tercer año enseñando en los Estados Unidos, marcando mi 15º año como Maestra de Primaria. Hablo catalán, inglés y español, y recientemente estudié Educación Montessori para niños de 6 a 12 años. Además, soy Terapeuta del Habla, lo que me permite apoyar a los estudiantes en el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación sólidas.

Me encanta viajar, explorar nuevas culturas y pasar tiempo en la naturaleza, especialmente haciendo esquí de travesía. Estas pasiones enriquecen mi enseñanza al llevar conexiones del mundo real al aula.

Este año, estaré enseñando Matemáticas, Ciencias, Alfabetización, SEL y grupos pequeños en español, y estoy emocionada de crear un ambiente de aprendizaje inclusivo y atractivo para todos mis estudiantes.

¡Estoy muy emocionada de conocerlos este año!
