A Note from Raul Sandoval, Principal

This week the kindergartenC team invited me into their classrooms to read a book for Hispanic Heritage Month.   The book I selected was Amigo , by Carlos Zamora.  In Amigo , two roosters form a friendship over their love of soccer.  They decide to play soccer together as they explore the town.  In the process, Tony teaches Charlie Spanish words like “futbol” and “amigo.”  Students loved the rich illustrations and vibrant colors of the book.  As kindergarteners often do, they had plenty of ideas to share about the story.  I’m always amazed at the details they notice and the connections they make. 

Week of Respect     

Each year schools celebrate the Week of Respect during the second week of October.  We focus on classroom activities such as read alouds that reinforce the theme of respect.  Students across grade levels listened to a read aloud of The Big Umbrella .  This book delivers a positive message about the importance of kindness and hospitality, among other themes.  The extension activity involved students and staff cutting out and coloring their own shoes to fit under each homeroom’s big umbrella:
