PAW PRINTS

Dear Winfield Friends and Family,

We made it! Three quarters of teaching, learning, making friends, strengthening social-emotional skills are complete. Our work is NOT complete! We have one quarter left to prepare our students for the next grade level. With partnership from home, we can do this!

Quick and easy ideas to extend learning at home, anytime!

• Read and quiz on RAZ-KIDS books on the Chromebook.
• Help pay for items in cash, counting money and receiving change at the store.
• Commit to 15 minutes daily of Dreambox math practice; it's adaptive to meet their needs!
• Cook or bake together while estimating and measuring ingredients.
• Write out mom's dictated shopping list and alphabetize.
• Collect items outside (leaves, rocks, bugs, etc.) and photograph, document, and journal in a personal science notebook.
• Visit the library weekly and pick one significant person (past or present) to read about and learn their contributions.

As you can see- learning opportunities are endless- inside and outside the school walls. Using the lens "how can my child learn from this?" helps identify those moments in our daily lives.

Starting Sunday, I'm counting on the extra hour of daylight to give me even more chances to make learning and growing relevant with my third and sixth grader at home. Don't forget to set your clocks forward!

Have a great weekend,

Mrs. Jillian Alonzo

Principal
