Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, November 22,2019

We so enjoyed the Thankfulness Boards that the Kindergartners ( together with their parents) made for their November Homework. Each child shared their board with the class in an oral presentation and the students were evaluated both on their board as well as their oral presentation. It’s a great way for students to begin to practice oral speaking before First Grade.

Please remember to keep your child’s report card and to sign and return the report card envelope.

December homework will be distributed after the Thanksgiving holiday.

Our Super Kid for after Thanksgiving is Brixton!

Rose the Bear will stay at school for the holiday.

Here’s the curriculum for the week when we return from vacation:

Note to Parents From your Children:

Remember that I love and respect you

But I like to be independent and it is hard for me to understand that you may have already learned that my way is not always best.

Help me to appreciate my being fortunate

I will not always remember that other people have bigger problems than me, but with your guidance I will learn to accept myself.

Remember to take one day at a time

I am growing fast and you may not be ready, but together we can share the good and bad times.

Thanksgiving Prayer

For each new morning and its light,

Forest and shelter of the night

For Health and Food

For Love and Friends

For everything thy goodness sends.

We thank you Lord.

In Everything, Give Thanks. We are blessed.

Enjoy your holiday with family and friends.

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."
