The Bilingual Office calls over 100 Spanish speaking children's families with kids entering 5K in the fall each year.  Parent education helps parents get connected early.  Post card and mailings go out monthly reminding and inviting parents to come in and enroll.

This week in CCSS-MENTOR TEXT:

Peluso y la cometa por Jean Paul LeClerq

Léelo en PREZI aqui

Un libro hermoso que ayuda explore el tema de la relación que uno tiene consigo mismo.  

Peluso, un pájaro pequeñito y gris, tenía envidia de las mariposas. Y un buen día decide hacerse unas alas con papeles de colores. Pero las alas pueden más que él y se cae al suelo. Un niño, Marcos, le recoge y le cuida. Este es el principio de una amistad que tendrá sus problemas.
Recomendado por los grados 4K a 1ro.

This week in Practice:

(Thanks Lisa Laurenz-Banting)
