Hi, ESOL families!

We have been serving your students for a few weeks now.  This week and next 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades are scheduled for different days to test with their homeroom classes (COGAT and/or ITBS).

Reminders:
1. Have your child get 9-10 hours of sleep.
2. Eat a healthy breakfast.
3. Arrive on time to school.
4. Try their best on the test. :)

Also, upcoming dates to remember:  September 25-29 FALL BREAK - NO SCHOOL

Hello, ESOL families of the Park!  We will meet our students next week and begin to work in their classrooms.  We encourage you to practice English with your child daily.  There are listening, speaking, reading, and writing activities free online using DUOLINGO, an application (app) for kids and adults.

Duolingo

Duolingo is the free science-based language education platform.

With over 100 million users, Duolingo has organically become the most popular way to learn languages online in only 2 years.

In a recent independent study, professors from the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of South Carolina found that when using Duolingo for 34 hours, students learn the equivalent of one university semester of language instruction.

See Duolingo.com for more information. 

Welcome back!

We are so excited to meet all of our wonderful new students this year!

Love, Ms. Nelson, Ms. Galvan, Ms. McDonough, and Ms. Davila
