Saludos padres, madres y estudiantes:

Bienvenidos al nuevo año escolar 2017-2018 que estará lleno de experiencias únicas de

aprendizaje. En Washburn School nos distinguimos por innovar, y este año no es la excepción.

Confiamos en que el esfuerzo por proveer nuevas herramientas en la educación brinde los frutos

esperados.

En el aspecto social, es sumamente importante recalcar que Washburn School mantiene una

política de Cero Tolerancia al “Bullying”. La comunicación es factor clave para intervenir a

tiempo en situaciones de acoso escolar y para ello es necesario la colaboración de toda la

comunidad escolar. Esta semana comenzaremos con una serie de talleres educativos

coordinados con el propósito de orientar al estudiantado y prevenir situaciones de acoso escolar.

Algunos aspectos importantes en su participación como padre/madre en este tema son:

1. La familia y los valores - La labor de la familia es educar a los hijos y prepararlos para la vida

en sociedad. La mejor manera de educar es pasar tiempo de calidad con los hijos. Sea ejemplo a

seguir de sus hijos modelando valores como el respeto, igualdad y tolerancia.

2. Los modales y los límites - Los modales adecuados y el trato amable hacia los demás hará de

los niños y jóvenes personas más tratables y agradables. No obstante, recuerde que es importante

poner límites y sanciones cuando la conducta de su hijo sea inapropiada.

3. La autoestima y la sobreprotección - Demuestre a sus hijos lo valioso que son y alimente su

autoestima para convertirlos en personas seguras que difícilmente podrán ser acosadas. La

sobreprotección provoca inseguridad en el niño sobre su propia capacidad de frenar al acosador.

4. Resolución de conflictos - Permita que su hijo se enfrente a situaciones que tenga que resolver

por sí mismo. Observe su reacción y corrija lo que entienda necesario. Recuerde que debe

aprender a resolver conflictos con seguridad, sin temores, mediante el diálogo y evitando la

violencia.

5. Explicar qué es el acoso y denunciarlo - Si los niños saben qué es el “bullying” o acoso escolar

y sus consecuencias, será más difícil que se conviertan en víctimas o victimarios. Enseñe a los

hijos a no quedarse callados e informar a las autoridades escolares cuando se sientan acosados.

“A fuerza de construir bien, se llega a buen arquitecto.”

-Aristóteles

It’s a pleasure to communicate with you once more. Hope you had a wonderful summer along

The library continues giving service from 8:00am – 1:00pm. During lunch time it is open for

those that want to read and check out books.

Students will begin checking out books this week. For 1st grade students it’s a new experience of

taking books home, please be sure that they take good care of them. They will be taking books

home every Monday and will be returning the next week (on Monday). Also they have to bring

back the books with a “Book Report” which I will be giving along with the book. If you have

any questions please contact me by sending me a note with your child. Thanks!

Mrs. Detres - Teacher

Ms. R. Marrero - Assistant

Hello Parents,

Welcome all to our P-K group. We are very excited and happy to have your child as one of our

students. We are off to a great start of a wonderful year.

My little ones are learning to follow instructions, share, take turns, form a quiet and straight line

and even make friends. This week we will still be practicing our fine motor skills by tracing and

coloring. We will be introducing “The School Unit", where they will learn the school materials.

They are also learning new songs.

Remember to review your child's notebooks every day. Please practice and supervise their work.

Have a Great day!

Colored Hugs, Mrs. Sandy

Weekly: 14 al 18 de agosto de 2017

Saludos,

Bienvenidos a un nuevo semestre escolar. Soy la maestra de salón hogar de tercer grado. Durante

este semestre estaremos enfocando nuestros esfuerzos en la comprensión de lectura y el dominio

de los conceptos integrados a ellas. El nuevo libro nos ayudará a comprender y dominar las

destrezas fundamentales y no dejarlos solo en niveles básicos del pensamiento.

Notificaciones importantes:

Los libros de español siempre irán al hogar con el propósito de que se repase a diario lo

aprendido en clase. Esto les ayudará a fortalecer los hábitos de estudio y estar preparados

para cualquier tipo de evaluación semanal. Es suma importancia que los ayuden a revisar

el material discutido en clase.

El libro de caligrafía será evaluado para otorgarles una nota adicional a los estudiantes. Se

estará trabajando en la sala de clase durante el tiempo disponible (al terminar tareas o en el

periodo de “study hall”).

o Primer semestre, fecha de entrega: 4/12/17 (las páginas a realizar varían por grupos

pero ya están asignadas en la libreta)

La lectura de verano es para el 25/08/17.

Los dictados serán anunciados en la libreta, en la misma estará la fecha del dictado y las

páginas en donde se encuentran las palabras de dictado. Lo haremos de esta manera para

aprovechar el tiempo y practicar el vocabulario con diversos ejercicios que provee el

cuaderno.

Las páginas cubiertas en el día estarán marcadas con una pestañita para así avisarles por

donde vamos en clase y cuál es el material que deben repasar en el hogar/tutorías.

El cuaderno PAM se estará trabajando en el salón pero el estudiante debe leer el libro antes del

mes de octubre. (SOLO PARA CUARTO GRADO). ******************************************************************************

Welcome back! I’m excited to start this new 2017/2018 school year. We have new books that

look fabulous for grades 2 through 5. There are also many new updates to our facility. If you are

having any problems finding the book and workbooks because they are out of stock please let me

Now let’s get ready to learn!

As always please feel free to make an appointment with me by calling the secretary.

*Grades 2- 5:

The workbook titled Spelling /Phonics will be sent home daily. This workbook has the dictation

words. I will place a sticker on the page with our words stating the date of the dictation and the

Mrs. Samanta Chardón

Computer, Algebra II (9th) and College Math Teacher (12th)

Hello! My name is Samanta Chardón and I’m very excited for being a part of Washburn family.

I will be the computer teacher for grades Pre-k to 3rd grade and 5th grade to 12 grade. Also I will

be teaching Algebra II to 9th grade and Basic College Math to 12th grade. I can’t wait to learn

about all of you and your kids too.

I was born in Ponce and graduated from the UPR in Mayaguez in geology and I have a teacher

certification. I have 13 years of experience teaching elementary/intermediate and secondary

grades. Every school and class is a different adventure, so I’m looking forward to share with your

kids and make this experience fun and enjoyable as possible. We are going to be doing lots of work

but also lots of fun to go along with all the learning. If you have any questions or concerns feel

free to contact me at school.

We are receiving brand new Lenovo desktops, high powered computers in the Computer Lab for

our class and also multiple uses that will get Washburn towards the STEM learning into the 21st

century.
