Coyote Chronicles

Cloverdale families,

We had a fantastic first week back. It was wonderful to see students engaged in their learning and reviewing expectations for school. We focused on what it looks like to be respectful, responsible, and safe in the lunchroom, hallway, and bathrooms. Ask your child if they can tell you about the cool tools in these areas!

Last week, students participated in figuring out a different clue each day until we revealed the title of our One School, One Book on Friday. We will be reading.... THE WILD ROBOT! Students are VERY excited to embark on this literary journey in class and with you at home. We passed out books to students on Friday, one copy per family, to take home and read together. We will be sharing activities and a reading Bingo card you can also complete at home. We hope you enjoy the book!

ACCESS testing for students who are English Language Learners begins on January 15th. Over the next few weeks, students will take tests in the domains of reading, listening, speaking, and writing, to assess their English Language Proficiency. A letter was set home with more information before break. If you have any further questions about ACCESS testing, please contact your child's EL teacher, classroom teacher, or Mrs. Quintero.
