🟡 Thoughtful Thursday

Fluency is more than reading words correctly. It is expression, pacing, comprehension, and confidence.

Our Readers Theater class helps learners strengthen reading fluency by bringing stories to life. Instead of worksheets, students practice expressive reading, build understanding, and grow comfortable reading aloud in a supportive environment.

Readers Theater supports:
• Stronger fluency
• Improved comprehension
• Increased confidence
• Meaningful engagement with text

✨ Class begins in April. Limited spots available.

Families can learn more and enroll on Outschool here:

🟡 Jueves Reflexivo

La fluidez es más que leer palabras correctamente. Es expresión, ritmo, comprensión y confianza.

Nuestra clase de Readers Theater ayuda a los estudiantes a fortalecer la fluidez lectora al dar vida a las historias. En lugar de solo hojas de trabajo, los estudiantes practican lectura expresiva, desarrollan comprensión y ganan seguridad al leer en voz alta en un ambiente de apoyo.

Readers Theater apoya:
• Mayor fluidez
• Mejor comprensión
• Más confianza
• Participación significativa con el texto

✨ La clase comienza en abril. Los cupos son limitados.
La clase se imparte en inglés.

Las familias pueden obtener más información e inscribirse en Outschool en el enlace anterior.

Tools & Tips Tuesday
The Importance of Sleep for Learning

Sleep is essential for memory, focus, and emotional balance. A predictable bedtime helps children learn more effectively.

• Keep a calm bedtime routine: reading, dim lights, and quiet time.
• Limit screens an hour before bed.
• Encourage consistency—even on weekends.

Research published in the Journal of Sleep Research (2020) found that children who get sufficient, regular sleep show stronger attention and academic performance.

A well-rested brain is a ready-to-learn brain.

La importancia del sueño para el aprendizaje

El sueño es esencial para la memoria, la concentración y el equilibrio emocional. Una hora de dormir predecible ayuda a los niños a aprender de manera más efectiva.

• Mantén una rutina tranquila: lectura, luces tenues y silencio.
• Evita las pantallas una hora antes de dormir.
• Promueve la consistencia, incluso los fines de semana.

Las investigaciones publicadas en el Journal of Sleep Research (2020) encontraron que los niños que duermen lo suficiente y con regularidad muestran mejor atención y rendimiento académico.

Un cerebro descansado es un cerebro listo para aprender.
