With the help of Hunny Hundreds, Eastvalley’s Media Center Staff is rolling out a new reading program called, The Stinger Award.  This program will be for 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders and promoted by Hunny Hundreds.   Since Hunny Hundreds loves math, the books will all be math related.  The Stinger Award books will be located together in the media center and labeled with a Hunny Hundreds’ sticker.  Because of the limited supply of math books, only students will be allowed to check out these books and they will be limited to checking out one book at time.

In order to earn the award, 1^st graders will need to read 5 books, 2nd graders will need read 10 books, and 3rd graders will need to read 15 books and earn 80% or higher on their EVRC tests. Students will need to tell Mrs. Moran or Mrs. Ritt when they have passed a Stinger Test.  The winners will be on WEV-TV, receive an autographed picture with Hunny Hundreds and receive a certificate at Books for Breakfast. 

A special thank you goes out to Hunny Hundreds for encouraging our students to improve their math skills!  Eastvalley loves you!

Estimados Padres,

Su estudiante será examinado este año para determinar su progreso en el aprendizaje del inglés. El examen es un mandato del Gobierno Federal e incluye a todos los estudiantes identificados como Aprendices del Idioma Inglés (English Language Learner - ELL), independientemente que estén o no recibiendo servicios. EL examen se conoce como ACCESS – Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State (Evaluando la Comprensión y Comunicación en Inglés de Estado en Estado). Los estudiantes serán evaluados entre el 24 de enero y el 4 de marzo de 2010.

Los estudiantes serán evaluados en lectura, escritura, comprensión auditiva y en conversación.

Parents Don’t Have to Come to School to Be Involved

Here are some tips that can help your child have success during their time in school:

• Read with, to, and around your child.  Parents, who read, encourage the practice and allow children to see firsthand that reading is valuable, useful, or enjoyable.  Read newspapers, magazine, cereal boxes!  Your child will see the importance and joy of reading just by watching you.
• Reinforce the value of a family routine involving homework, meals, and a regular bedtime.  Children thrive on structure!
• Monitor the use of television! Help children choose what to watch and talk to them about what they have seen. 
• Also, it doesn’t hurt to have activities other than being in front of the television.  Playing board games together, building or cooking projects, all of these can help your child learn structure, patience, and organization!

Los padres no necesitan venir para participar

Aquí encontrará algunas ideas que ayudarán a su estudiante a tener éxito  en la escuela.

• Que su niño le lea a usted, usted le lea a él o ella, o lea con ellos. Los padres que leen, están animando a sus niños a practicar  y les permiten ver muy de cerca lo valioso, provechoso y  entretenido que es leer. ¡Leer los periódicos, revistas, las cajas de cereal! Su niño verá la importancia de leer y disfrutará leyendo con solo mirarlo a usted.
• Refuerce el valor de la rutina familiar envolviéndose en las tareas, las comidas y establezca un horario regular para irse a dormir. ¡Los niños se desarrollan y crecen bien cuando tienen una estructura y un horario establecido!
• ¡Controle el uso de la televisión! Ayude a sus niños a elegir lo que miran, que sea  algo apropiado con su edad y converse con ellos acerca de lo que han visto.
• También, no daña el tener otras actividades que no sean la televisión. Jugar juegos de mesa en familia, o construir puzles, cocinar, o cualquiera de esos proyectos que puedan ayudar a su niño a tener una estructura, paciencia y organización.

Parental Involvement means so many things: 

• Showing your child the love of reading
• Staying organized
• Showing structure
• Getting involved at the school
• Communicating with teachers, administrators, and school staff.

La participación de los padres significa muchas cosas: 

• Mostrarle a su estudiante el amor por la lectura
• Estar  y ser  organizado
• Demostrarle valores
• Participar en la escuela
• Comunicarse con los maestros, administradores y  personal de la escuela.
