CUBS Chronicle

Happy Friday!

I hope this message finds you well and ready for a wonderful weekend. We had a fantastic week

here at Camelview and have a few updates and reminders to share with you.

Student of the Month Lunches

Today, we celebrated our amazing Students of the Month! These students have demonstrated

outstanding CUBS expectations. It was such a joy to honor their hard work and accomplishments

over a special lunch. Thank you to all the families who support our students in achieving their

best each day!

Parent-Teacher Conferences Next Week

A friendly reminder that Parent-Teacher Conferences are scheduled for next week on

Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. This is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s

teacher, discuss their progress, and collaborate on goals for the remainder of the year. If you have

not yet scheduled your conference, please reach out to your child’s teacher as soon as possible.

Please note that we will have early dismissal on these days to accommodate conference

schedules.

Building Reading Fluency at Home

Reading fluency is such an important skill for students to develop as it helps with comprehension

and overall confidence in reading. Here are a few ideas to support fluency at home:

• Read Aloud Together: Take turns reading with your child. Listening to you model fluent reading can help them improve their own pace and expression.
• Practice Sight Words: Focus on high-frequency words that appear often in their books. Flashcards or quick word games can make this fun!
• Revisit Favorite Books: Encourage your child to reread books they enjoy. Familiarity with the text allows them to read more smoothly and confidently.
• Set a Reading Routine: Create a consistent time each day for reading. Even 15 minutes can make a big difference!

Thank you for all you do to support your children both at school and at home. If you have any

questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Wishing you a restful and enjoyable weekend!

¡Feliz viernes!

Espero que este mensaje les encuentre bien y listo para un maravilloso fin de semana. Tuvimos una semana fantástica aquí en Camelview y tenemos algunas actualizaciones y recordatorios para compartir contigo.

Almuerzos de los Estudiantes del Mes

¡Hoy celebramos a nuestros increíbles Estudiantes del Mes! Estos estudiantes han demostrado

excelentes expectativas de CUBS. Fue una gran alegría honrar su arduo trabajo y logros durante un almuerzo especial. ¡Gracias a todas las familias que apoyan a nuestros estudiantes para que logren su mejor rendimiento cada día!

Reuniones de padres y maestros la próxima semana

Un recordatorio amistoso de que las reuniones de padres y maestros están programadas para la próxima semana los miércoles, jueves y viernes. Esta es una maravillosa oportunidad para conectarse con el maestro de su hijo, hablar sobre su progreso y colaborar en las metas para el resto del año. Si aún no ha programado su reunión, comuníquese con el maestro de su hijo lo antes posible. Tenga en cuenta que tendremos salidas tempranas en estos días para adaptarnos a los horarios de las conferencias.

Desarrollar la fluidez en la lectura en casa

La fluidez en la lectura es una habilidad muy importante que los estudiantes deben desarrollar, ya que ayuda con la comprensión y la confianza general en la lectura. Aquí hay algunas ideas para fomentar la fluidez en casa:

Leer en voz alta juntos: túrnense para leer con su hijo. Escucharlo modelar la lectura fluida puede ayudarlo a mejorar su propio ritmo y expresión.

Practicar palabras frecuentes: Concéntrese en las palabras de alta frecuencia que aparecen a menudo en sus libros. ¡Las tarjetas didácticas o los juegos de palabras rápidos pueden hacer que esto sea divertido!

Revisitar libros favoritos: Anime a su hijo a volver a leer los libros que disfruta. La familiaridad con el texto le permite leer con más fluidez y confianza.

Establecer una rutina de lectura: Cree un tiempo constante cada día para leer. ¡Incluso 15 minutos pueden hacer una gran diferencia!

Gracias por todo lo que hace para apoyar a sus hijos tanto en la escuela como en casa. Si tiene alguna pregunta o necesita ayuda, no dude en comunicarse con nosotros.

¡Les deseamos un fin de semana relajante y placentero!

Our cafeteria can provide birthday boxes at a very low cost. This reduces the impact on classroom learning time (every minute counts), reduces the likelihood of ants in classrooms and creates a fun celebration during lunch times. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tkA7cxvKb4gCb7RDTtE2mxsgSZzxXMui/view?usp=sharing

If you have any questions please contact Valerie, our kitchen manager at vmartinez@madisoned.org!
