Today we’re dressing up and celebrating the one and only Dolly Parton! ✨

Today, we’re bringing a little Dolly magic to our school by celebrating KINDNESS, READING, and being a bright light for others! 🌟

🌎❤️ Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in 1st grade! 🇲🇽🇵🇷🇨🇺

Mrs. Coss’ class learned so much about Hispanic culture, traditions, and celebrations, but our favorite part was learning all about paletas! 🍭 We got to read about them, enjoy some delicious flavors. Mr. Coss even came to help us pass them out to our teachers!

What a fun and meaningful way to celebrate, learn, and share! 💕✨

📚✨ RESOURCES TO HELP YOUR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILD LEARN AT HOME! ✨📚

Parents, you don’t have to be a teacher to support your child’s learning! 💛 Even a few minutes of reading, practicing math, or reviewing skills each day can make a BIG difference!

Here are some resources to help your child practice and grow at home:

💻 CLEVER
Your child’s Clever Student Portal is your starting point for several school-approved learning programs!

🔢 IXL
📍 Access IXL through your child’s Clever Student Portal.
IXL provides practice in math, reading, language arts, science, and social studies skills.

📚 Progress Learning
📍 Access Progress Learning through your child’s Clever Student Portal.
Students can practice grade-level standards and review skills they are learning in school.

📖 Storyline Online
Visit storylineonline.com to listen to actors and other well-known personalities read children’s books aloud. This is a fun way to build listening, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension skills!

📚 The Palace Project
The Palace Project provides access to digital books and reading resources. Explore the collection and encourage your child to read independently or together as a family. https://thepalaceproject.org/

🎓 Georgia Kindergarten Parents
If you have a kindergartener, check out the Georgia Kindergarten Parents website for resources and information to help you support your child during their kindergarten year. https://gkidsparent.gadoe.org/Pages/Home.aspx

🌟 PARENTS, TRY ASKING MORE THAN “HOW WAS SCHOOL?”
Instead, ask:
⭐ What did you learn today?
⭐ Can you teach me something you learned?
⭐ What was challenging today?
⭐ How did you solve that problem?
⭐ What happened in the story you read?
⭐ What evidence supports your answer?
⭐ What questions do you still have?

💡 Remember: Learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends!
A few minutes of reading, practicing skills, and talking about learning each day can help your child build confidence and grow academically. 💛📚

🐾 Let’s work together to help our Ruskin Jaguars ROAR!
