Mrs. Kaiafas
Dear Parents,
I hope everyone had an awesome summer. I am happy to be back at school and I look forward to working with your precious children.
This year we will be using the ELL series, Benchmark Advance. As you know, at the end of each unit, the children will be bringing their consumable workbooks home. Please keep them home and encourage the kids to reread them to you. Encourage them to talk to you about what they learned or about their favorite part in the unit.
The Benchmark Advance ELL series consists of Read Aloud passages, student readings, and oral and written response to text activities. The series also includes a phonics, grammar, word work workbook. As always, I will be incorporating educational videos for building background and explicit word work skills.
Please email me if you have any questions or concerns or if you would like to get to know each other a little bit better. As a team, while working together, we could keep your kids happy, healthy, and successful students.
