Estimadas familias,
En Amigos hacemos un trabajo de alto nivel al diferenciar y focalizar la enseñanza para todos los estudiantes. Nuestras clínicas de matemáticas en los diferentes grados nos ofrecen la oportunidad perfecta para llevarlo a cabo. Durante estas clínicas de matemáticas, los docentes, los intervencionistas, los formadores y los voluntarios se integran para proveer a cada estudiante una enseñanza diferenciada y focalizada. Las agrupaciones de estudiantes son flexibles e intencionales y proveen oportunidades para que cada estudiante profundice en un concepto o destreza que avanza su progreso. Hemos notado que las Clínicas de Matemáticas promueven la confianza y aumentan el uso de los estándares como “el hacer sentido de los problemas” y “la persistencia al resolver problemas”.
La próxima semana se celebrará la Conferencia “La Cosecha” en Santa Fe, Nuevo México. La Cosecha es una de las conferencias más destacadas en el país por enseñanza e inmersión en dos idioma. Me emocionada compartir con ustedes que dos de nuestras maestras fueron seleccionadas para presentar en esta conferencia. La formadora de lecto-escritura en dos idiomas, Elika Frederickson y la maestra de Jardín Infantil, Noelle Danian, presentarán un sesión titulada “Contar y actuar una historia para los niños pequeños que aprenden en dos idiomas”.
Nuestra próxima reunión del Consejo Escolar de Amigos se llevará a cabo el 9 de noviembre a las 6PM. Continuaremos nuestro trabajo con el Compromiso Familiar y puede encontrar la agenda aquí.

Dear Families,
One of the things we are working on here at Amigos is a high level of differentiated and targeted instruction for all students. Our math clinics held in different grade levels offer the perfect opportunity for us to do this. During math clinics teachers, interventionists, coaches and volunteers come together to provide each student with this differentiated and targeted instruction. Student groupings are flexible and intentional and provide opportunities for students to dig into a concept or skill that will move each of them forward. We have found that our math clinics are boosting student confidence and increasing student use of the Math Practice Standards such as “Making Sense of Problems” and Persevering in Solving Them” and “Modeling with Mathematics”.
This coming week is the Cosecha Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The Cosecha Conference is one of the leading conferences in the country for dual language and two-way immersion. I am excited to share with you that two of our teachers were selected to present at this conference. Biliteracy coach, Elika Fredrickson and Junior Kindergarten teacher, Noelle Danian, will be offering a session titled “Storytelling and Story Acting for Our Youngest Dual Language Learners”.
Our next Amigos School Council meeting is Wednesday, November 9 at 6PM. We will be continuing our work on Family Engagement and you can find the agenda here.
