Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, January 21,2022

Thank you for the extra work with your children in helping them to learn their poems for our Oratorical Fest. The students did a great job. The standards addressed for this special presentation (as well as the Family History Project due next week) include being able to speak audibly and express their thoughts, feelings and ideas clearly. It is a lifelong standard! We will let you know which students have been chosen to represent Kindergarten at the Fest.

Don’t forget to have your child complete their Family History Assignment ( My Family And Me.) It is due on Friday, January 28th. We look forward to learning about our students’ families!

Please be sure that your child has an extra mask with them at all times. If possible send at least one or two extra masks with your child to keep in their backpack. We have gone through our extra classroom supply of masks several times already.Children become uncomfortable when their masks get wet and then ask for a clean one. Your assistance is appreciated.

Our SuperKid for this week is Emily L. Thanks to Nate for sharing his things.

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."
