5 Philosophy I believe that all children can learn!
I believe that every child has an infinite capacity to learn and that it is my responsibility to inspire and facilitate this learning process. I believe student learning is maximized when students are empowered and feel ownership in the learning process.

6 Filosofía Creo que todos los niños/as pueden aprender!
Creo que cada niño/a tiene una capacidad infinita de aprendizaje y es mi responsabilidad de inspirar y facilitar ese proceso de aprendizaje. Yo creo que el aprendizaje del estudiante se maximiza cuando a los estudiantes se les da poder y se les hace sentir dueños en el proceso de aprendizaje.

7 The Teacher’s Responsibilities
To ensure that each student meets or exceeds the California Content Standards To identify and employ effective, research-based instructional strategies To implement standards-based, integrated curriculum that fosters children’s self-confidence, creativity, critical-thinking skills, and love of learning To facilitate individually appropriate learning experiences for children with diverse cultural, social, linguistic, and cognitive backgrounds To monitor student progress through regular collection and analysis of standards-aligned assessment data, and modify curriculum to meet changing student needs To create a classroom environment in which each child feels safe and respected To prepare children to be socially responsible citizens through character trait development To maintain strong partnerships with parents, colleagues, and community members To develop my own professional abilities on an ongoing basis All California teachers are expected to meet these goals as part of the California Standards for the Teaching Profession. To be a teacher is not easy, but I feel fortunate to be able to serve children in this very worthwhile and rewarding capacity.

Here's how: Weekly spelling and vocabulary practice Weekly Spanish verb conjugation practice Writers’ workshop Houghton Mifflin grammar, spelling & phonics English grammar, vocabulary, phonics, spelling & reading Writer’s Workshop – guides students through the writing process. There is no assigned English spelling homework. However, there are OPTIONAL English spelling word lists on this website in the Weekly Spelling Lists page (the document is at the bottom of that page after the weekly Spanish spelling lists). The OPTIONAL English spelling word lists come from our exciting English program called Fundations. It is a program that helps students understand spelling patterns, vowel pairs, syllabication, and ways that English words are formed. It is very similar to the Barton program, but includes whole class and small group instruction that is appropriate for the regular classroom. This program will be taught to the children on a daily basis in their English class. We are confident that this year the Fundations program will help the children develop strong English literacy skills including English spelling skills.

27 Assessment School level – Fall, Winter and Spring
Standards-based report card District level -- Fall and Spring Reading Assessment Writing sample State level -- Spring STAR test (standardized multiple-choice test in language arts and math) Administering assessments in the beginning of the year gives me a clear picture of each child’s initial level and of what exactly I need to teach each child to help them achieve mastery of the 2nd grade level standards. For example, to be reading on grade level in Spanish, a child is required to answer reading comprehension questions (in Spanish) about what he/she has read (basically, he/she has to retell the story with attention to important details). He/She is also required to read the story with accuracy and appropriate speed or fluency. I use the assessment data to create differentiated learning experiences that will meet the individual needs of each child (for example- grouping, Guided Reading, small groups, project differentiation, etc.). Sign up for parent-teacher conferences tonight! If you have not already done so, please remember to sign up at the end of the presentation. The sign up sheet is on the back table.

28 Evaluación El nivel de la escuela– otoño, invierno, primavera
- El reporte de calificaciones basado en las normas El nivel del distrito escolar– otoño y primavera - Exámen de lectura - Exámen de escritura El nivel del estado de California– primavera - Exámen de la estrella, STAR (un exámen acerca de lenguaje,artes y matemáticas)

29 Friday Weekly Tests Spelling Test
- The children will have 12 spelling words assigned per week. - The emphasis is on spelling skills development and Spanish vocabulary development. Verb Conjugations Test - The children will have 2-3 verbs to study per week. - The emphasis is on exposure to Spanish verb conjugation patterns and development of Spanish verb conjugation skills. Math Speed Test - Students take 1 ½ minute speed tests 1-3 times per week. - All children begin with +5 speed test and advance to the next speed test once they pass. - Emphasis is on facilitating the memorization of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division math facts. Spelling skills, verb conjugations skills, and the ability to memorize math facts are all developmental skills. Each child will learn these skills at a different pace and that is absolutely expected and fine. Our standards-based report card does record your child’s progress in spelling skills development and in math facts memorization skills development. Spanish verb conjugating is a very important skill for all Dual Immersion students to be exposed to and to develop. Keep in mind that our goal is for the Dual Immersion students to become bilingual and biliterate. Last year, the DI teachers developed a K-5 plan for Spanish verb conjugations instruction and at this summer's DI Institute, the teachers modified the plan slightly. Basically, each grade level is responsible for exposing the children to Spanish verb conjugations in different tenses (present, past, future, etc.). At certain grade levels (and after having 2 years of exposure and practice), we expect these skills to be mastered. Generally, we focus on regular verb conjugation, but we are also targeting certain irregular verbs that are commonly used and that the children will need in order to become bilingual and biliterate readers, writers and speakers. First graders were specifically exposed to the present tense regular verb conjugations, as well as the present tense verb conjugation for 5 commonly used irregular verbs (irregular verbs include to go, to be, to go, to have and to know). In 2nd grade, students will review the present tense verb conjugations and by the end of 2nd grade, the students will be expected to master conjugating present tense regular verbs as well as a total of 6 irregular verbs in the present tense (the 5 from first grade plus one new one, the verb “to do”). The children will be exposed to the preterit (past) tense verb conjugations and be given ample opportunities to practice this new skill. This skill will then be reviewed in 3rd grade and we expect that by the end of 3rd grade, the children will master this skill.

33 Grading Policy/ Ways to Stay Informed About Your Child’s Progress
Most class work is checked for completion and accuracy by me or by a peer, and should be reviewed by parents at home. Tests are based on points and converted into percents. All report cards will be standards-based. Progress reports will be sent home as needed. Homework should be checked together with your child at home before it is turned in on Friday. Some class work will be corrected in class by the children (they will trade papers). At the end of each chapter of the math book, your child will take an end of the chapter test. I will keep the test itself in my assessment files at school, but I will send home a Math Assessment Update so you will know how your child performed and what skills he/she still needs to develop. You are always welcome to stop by the classroom to see the actual test. Homework Folders should be kept organized to facilitate faster check in. Please (1) remind your child to write his/her name on each page of homework, (2) put all math homework pages in numerical order and staple those pages together. Please staple all extra credit papers together. (3) staple together the reading log and spelling practice test (unless it is already back to back), and keep any other papers at home, besides homework that is being turned in. Thank you! 

34 Póliza de calificar/ Como pueden saber acerca del progreso de su hijo/a
La mayoría de los trabajos diarios del salón serán corregidos por un compañero, pero es una buena idea corregirlos también en casa con su hijo/a. Los examenes serán basados en puntos y algunas veces recibirán un porciento. Los reportes de calificaciones están basados en las normas del estado de California. Reportes de progreso serán enviados a casa si es necesario. La tarea semanal deberá de ser corregida en casa antes de devolverla a la maestra el viernes.

35 Character Education/ Community Building
In 2nd grade, your child will further develop the 6 character traits (responsibility, compassion, self-discipline, honesty, respect, and integrity)! Here's how: Community building Classroom incentives Caught Ya slips, Bravo tickets and monthly awards Weekly classroom meetings One of my goals as a teacher is to optimize learning by making sure each child feels happy and safe. I spend a lot of time building community and helping children develop the character traits will serve to help me meet these important goals. Valley View is committed to educating whole child, not just the mind. Character education taken seriously in Pleasanton –it’s a community effort!

36 Educación de cáracter/ El desarrollo de comunidad
¡En segundo grado, su hijo/a desarrollará las seis características de carácter (responsabilidad, compasión, auto-disciplina, honestidad, respeto e integridad)! Aquí está cómo: El desarrollo de comunidad en el salón Los incentivos del salón Los premios de comportamiento La junta semanal del salón

37 Discipline Plan Character trait development Community building
Classroom routines and procedures (i.e., consistency) Weekly classroom meetings (conflict resolution) Marble jar incentive (whole class incentive) Table points incentive (small group incentive) Classroom money (individual incentive) Monthly goals and incentive for meeting the monthly goals (individual goals, group reward) Mustang of the Week Tangible rewards (certificates, stickers, prizes) “Clip” system (green= excellent, yellow= the student made a bad choice after a warning, orange= the student made a 2nd bad choice after receiving two warnings, and red= the student made a 3rd bad choice after receiving three warnings OR the bad choice was severe) I use a variety of positive incentives to encourage students to make good choices.

38 El plan de disciplina Desarrollo de las características de carácter
Desarrollo de comunidad en el salón La consistencia de rutinas y procedimientos del salón La junta semanal del salón El incentivo del tarro de canicas (para toda la clase) Los puntos de mesa (para grupos pequeños) El dinero del salón (para estudiantes individuales) El caballo salvaje de la semana Los premios (certificados, calcomanías, jugetes, etc.) El sistema del gancho (verde= excelente, amarillo= hizo una mala decición después de un aviso, anaranjado= hizo una secunda mala decición después de dos avisos, y rojo= hizo una tercera mala decisión después de tres avisos O la mala decisión fue muy grave)

39 Disciplinary Action I prefer to handle minor discipline issues within the classroom. However, it is my professional responsibility to involve you (the parents) and Mr. Cruz (the administration) should serious discipline issues arise. The following are some examples: Sexual harassment Physical altercations Verbal abuse (ie, the use of profanity or derogatory words) Bullying

40 Acción disciplinaria Yo prefiero resolver los problemas de minor importancia adentro del salón. Pero, es mi responsabilidad profesional implicar Ustedes (los padres) y Sr. Cruz (el director) si el problema es muy grave. Lo siguiente son algunos ejemplos: Acoso sexual Altercados fisicos Abuso verbal (uso de la blasfemia o de palabras despectivas) El tiranizar

41 Homework Daily homework assignments are listed on the cover of your child’s Homework Folder and on the website under Homework. Weekly spelling lists and the reading record sheet can be downloaded and printed from the classroom website. Daily math homework is listed on the classroom website and is usually found in the homework workbook (practice/re-teaching sheets) that I gave to each family at Back to School Night. Homework folders are sent home every Friday and must be returned the following Friday with completed homework inside. The students will spend minutes doing homework each night (Monday- Thursday), in accordance with the PUSD Board of Education Homework Policy. Take Home Book Bags are sent home and must be returned every Friday (complete with 5 Spanish books, 2 English books, and the red Reading Tips sheet inside). The materials for the new math program are not available yet, so the district has made photocopies. When the bound version of the homework practice/re-teaching workbook is available, this will be sent home to be used for weekly homework. Keep in mind that the nightly independent reading can be your child reading to him/herself, your child reading to you or you reading to your child- try to use a balance of the three. Please SIGN the parent permission slip tonight before you leave (red) in order to give permission for your child to take home a Take Home Book Bag. Please return Homework in an organized manner. This will help the Parent Volunteer who will be helping me to check in the homework. All papers should have your child’s name. All math homework pages should be put in numerical order and stapled together. The writing (sentences), the Reading Record, and the practice spelling test sheets should NOT be stapled. All extra credit should be stapled together as a set. Keep all papers that will not be turned in for Homework out of the folder and please clean out the folder weekly.

42 La tarea La tarea diaria está en el frente de la carpeta de tarea y en el sitio de web. Las listas semanales de ortografía y el record de lectura y matemáticas están disponibles para imprimir del website del salón. La lista de tarea diaria de matemáticas está en el website también y normalmente los trabajos serán del cuaderno de tarea (prácica/ re-enseñar) que di a cada familia en la noche de regreso a la escuela. Enviaré la carpeta de tarea a casa cada viernes y su hijo/a debe de devolver la carpeta el siguiente viernes con toda la tarea completa adentro. Su hijo/a hará minutos de tarea cada noche (lunes-jueves), de acuerdo con la póliza de tarea del la junta de educación del distrito escolar de Pleasanton Enviaré a casa la bolsa de libros prestados cada viernes y su hijo/a debe devolver la bolsa completa el siguiente viernes (con los 5 libros escritos en español, los 2 libros escritos en inglés y la hoja roja de sugerencias para practicar fluidez y comprensión de lectura).

43 Homework Hints For Parents
Allow children to have some free time before sitting down to do homework. After a long day at school, kids need to have some down time to unwind! Divide homework time into two shorter sessions instead of one long session. Homework is intended for children to complete independently. Encourage independence by helping your child set up a quiet place to do homework. Check in periodically during homework time to show your support but give your child space! If your child needs help with homework, go over the directions and do an example together. I don't suggest getting in the habit of volunteering to help with homework. Wait to be asked for help. Establish a school box at home into which the child puts all materials that need to go to school. Make a homework supply kit which will include pencils, erasers, pens, crayons, colored pencils, paper, scissors, glue sticks, staplers and other necessary school supplies.

44 Sugerencias para padres acerca de la tarea
Permitan a su hijo/a el tener un poco de tiempo libre antes de comenzar la tarea. Después de un día largo en la escuela, necesitarán un poco de tiempo para relajarse. Dividan la tarea en dos sesiones más cortas en lugar de una sesión larga. La tarea está intentada para que los niños la terminen independientemente. Fomenten la independencia de su hijo/al ayudarle a establecer un lugar quieto donde pueda hacer la tarea. Regresen de vez en cuando para demostrar su apoyo, pero denle su espacio. Si su hijo/a necesita ayuda con la tarea, lean las instrucciones juntos y hagan un ejemplo juntos. Les sugiero que no se acostumbren a ofrecerse de voluntarios para ayudar con la tarea. En su lugar, esperen hasta que su hijo/a pida ayuda. Estableza una caja especial donde su hijo/a pueden poner sus materiales para tarea y las cosas que debe de traer a la escuela. Tengan en la casa una cartera de herramientas para la tarea que puede incluir lápices, tijeras, borradoes, papel, crayones, pegamiento, etc.)

45 Classroom Website http://teacherweb.com/CA/ValleyView/MaestraNava/
The classroom website can be accessed through Valley View’s main web site. This presentation, as well as the homework assignments and resources, are available on the classroom website. You will also find FAQ’s, useful links, speech assignments, weekly and yearly schedules, etc.

47 Absences Please make every attempt to send your child to school regularly. If your child is absent, it is his/her responsibility to make up any missed assignments. Your child is responsible for completing and returning missed assignments promptly.

48 Faltas (ausencias) Por favor haga todo lo posible de mandar a su hijo/a regularmente a la escuela. Si su hijo/a falta a la escuela, es la responsabilidad de su hijo/a hacer los trabajos que él/ella no hizo el día que faltó. Su hijo/a es responsable de hacer y regresar las tareas y/o trabajos que no hizo el día que faltó.

49 Supporting Your Child Show an interest in what your child is learning at school by facilitating completion of homework. Model your own love of learning and how much you value education. Give your child as much encouragement and praise as possible. Tell your child often that you believe in him/her. Volunteer to help the teacher/ the school (sign up tonight!). There is a Parent Volunteer Sign-up sheet on the back table. Please consider serving as a volunteer in whatever way(s) you are able. I especially need 4 parents to help with Homework+ on Friday mornings, 1 parent to help with Wednesday envelopes on Wednesday morning, at least 1 Room Parent to help organize parties. There are many other important volunteer jobs you can do to help the classroom.

50 Como pueden apoyar a su hijo/a
Demuestren un interés en lo que su hijo/a está aprendiendo en la escuela para facilitar la realización de la tarea. Muestren a su hijo/a su proprio amor para el aprendizaje y el valor que ustedes tienen para la educación. Digan a su hijo/a frecuentemente que ustedes creen en él/ella. Ofrescanse como voluntarios para ayudar en el salón y en la escuela (pueden firmar el contrato esta noche). I welcome and value my parent volunteers. Please be advised, however, that all volunteers must cleared as volunteers before they will be allowed to come into the classroom. Plus, this year, all Dual Immersion teachers have decided not to allow English only speaking volunteers into the classroom to work with the children during their Spanish time. Please understand that the goal is to maintain the integrity of the DI program and to remain true to keeping the children immersed in Spanish for 80% of their school day. There are many other ways that parent volunteers can be involved and I wholeheartedly welcome your participation! Yo valoro y agradezco a mis padres voluntarios. Les notifico que antes de ser voluntarios tienen que ser clarificados como voluntarios antes de que se les permita entrar al salόn. Además este año todos los maestros del programa de dual inmersiόn acordaron en no permitir padres voluntarios que solamente hablan inglés para ayudar a los alumnos en el tiempo que los alumnos tienen clases en español; por favor entiendan que el objetivo es tratar de mantener la integridad de el programa de dual inmersiόn lo más completo posible de mantener a los alumnos inmersos en español 80% del tiempo en la escuela.

This is very important, as the math homework assignments will come from this packet/workbook (you will remove the assigned/completed pages and return them in your child's homework folder each Friday). The math homework assignments are on the classroom website. Please sign the sign-in sheet, sign up for a Parent Teacher Conference, complete the Information Sheet, and sign a Take Home Book permission slip. For those parents who plan to volunteer on field trips or at school, there are also volunteer clearance forms on the back table that you can take, complete and return to Nancy Rae in the front office (please do this right away and remember, the forms need to be completed each school year). Hopefully you found the surprise letter that your child left for you. I’ve provided a sheet of stationery that you are welcome to use to write back to your child.
