Hello, lovelies!
I hope that you are all enjoying and making the most out of our fall break this school year. May you all stay safe and healthy on the last three days of this well-deserved break. Enjoy the company of your families, loved ones, and the perfect autumn weather! See you all on Monday, October 11th ready for the fun learning of this school year’s second quarter! Miss you all!
Hi again,
Fall Picture Day is scheduled for Friday, September 24, 2021. Your child may come to school “dressed up” or in his/her best outfit for the pictures. I would also like to let you know that your child may still come to school with his/her uniform if he/she chooses to.
Kindly return the completed order/purchase form that I placed in your child’s purple folder last week if you want to order a copy of the picture. If by any chance that you did not see or receive the form, please write me a note in your child’s homework folder and I will make sure that you get another copy of the form. Please fill it out completely and enclose the correct amount then place it back in your child’s folder. I will make sure that your child gets to hand it personally to the Lifetouch associate when he/she gets to the photoshoot on Friday.
For questions and clarifications, please email me at mpilar2@laveeneld.org or call me at 602-237-9120, extension 3237.
Thank you!
Best,
Mrs. Maria Pilar
Kindly join us for this year’s Title 1 Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 23, 2021, starting at 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm.
I would love to show and talk to you about what our big academic and social-emotional goals are in Kindergarten
as they are aligned to our school’s vision and mission statements.
To kick this even up a notch, a challenge is given to all classes. Whichever class has the most attendees will receive
a prize from our Booster Club! So please, please, please, come and support our class and help us win this challenge

Good evening Kinder Parents and Families,
I would like to inform you all that there will be no school on Monday, September 6th, due to the observance of Labor Day.

Dear Kinder Parents and Families,
I am so thrilled to inform you that we are now able to access one of the amazing digital platforms that we will use during interventions time. This website is called “eSpark”. “eSpark” is a fun, differentiated learning platform for PK-5 math and reading classrooms. Automatically differentiating instruction with fun games, videos, and creative challenges, eSpark makes it easy to meet your students’ unique learning need with engaging activities that kids love. eSpark’s intuitive design allows students to independently learn at their own skill level and pace, giving teachers like me the time I need to work with small groups. eSpark features on-demand assignments that allow me to select skills for targeted practice based on weekly email suggestions.
We will be using this platform during our RTI block which is from 7:50 am-8:35 am. You may also proceed and let your child work on assignments every night to get additional practice after homework time!
I will be sending home your child’s log-in information by Friday, September 3, 2021. You may access this platform at anytime with internet access and a computer, ipad, or tablet. To log in, here are the instructions:
1. Open the website espark.app
2. Click “Login with Google”
3. Enter code “YADEN”
Please let me know if you have further questions at mpilar2@laveeneld.org or call me at 602-237-9120, extension 3237.
Thank you very much and thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Pilar

Hello again everyone,
It’s time to get to work and become better readers and better writers! This coming week, we will continue working on our letter names and letter sounds. We have learned 15 out of the 26 letters of the alphabet so far. I hope you will find the opportunity to practice with your child so he/she can master the first 26 phonograms of our Spalding curriculum- which has 70 phonograms in total!
There are many simple and easy ways to practice with your child. Here are some but not limited to the following:
Thank you so much everyone for your hard work. Let’s all keep it up!
This coming week, we will be learning how to count, write, and read numbers 0-5. You may practice this skill with your child by letting him/her count socks, shoes, beans, cereal, pillows, toys, and many other household things. Please make sure they touch, point, and say the number as they count forwards from 0-5. I can’t wait to see how your child performs during our lessons! Happy counting!
