Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, October 9,2020

Thank you for returning your children’s work for our first month of Distance Learning. We will continue to assess your child’s work for areas of growth needed. Your child will receive a Report Card at the end of our First Trimester ( November 20th.) Report Card date to be determined.

Here are a few reminders for work:

One daily Morning Work sheet ( just the front) is enough for your child to complete in a day. Please have your child complete the letters in pencil only ( no crayons please.) Coloring the page shows extra effort by the child.

Don’t forget to have your child practice letters and numbers in the green folder. Have your child concentrate on the proper formation of the letter as this is very important.Use a dry erase marker so your child can practice regularly. Students should also be practicing their name using an upper upper case letter for the beginning of their name and all lowercase letters after that.

Please have your child put Science and Social Science worksheets in the Science/Social Science Interactive notebook. Do not turn in. We will return those worksheets to students who turned them in so they can glue them in their notebooks. We will collect notebooks for grading at a later date.

The Super Kid this week is Mrs. Frankel.

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."

— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022

"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"

— SPN Parent

"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
