Kinder Parent Training

Kinder Parent Training
Parents had our third and final Kinder Parent Training, where Mrs. Keating shared some great ideas about helping our children with learning. 
In particular she gave us some great ideas about writing, using the web, assessing our own child’s writing using a rubric, and creating fun and interesting ways to incorporate math at home!  She also showed examples of books in both English and Spanish and where our children should be by this point in the year, if they are reading at grade level.  For the dual immersion students, reading has been a challenge for the teachers in locating in a sufficient amount of materials and for the students as they are required to comprehend and retell the story in Spanish.  In addition, parents were shown samples of students’ writing: proficient and weak papers were revealed.
I am so happy that the school provides this training for the parents.  The three sessions have been most informative and helpful!
