PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

Dear Parents:

We have had a very successful start to our school y ear. More than ever, students are taking

advantage of our N.E.S.T., how to catch up on missed assignments, and receive exra help. This is evi-

denced by over 62% of our students making the honor roll for the first marking period. At 9%, we

have the smallest number of students below a 2.0 G.P.A. We still have work to do. At 9%, we have

200 students who need extra help. Please review your student’s grades and encourage them to take

advantage of the many resources available.

It’s hard to believe we are beginning to plan for our course offerings for next year. Registra-

tion material will be distributed to your students. Course selections are very important as they deter-

mine the number of classes and teachers needed to coplet a master schedule. Next year, we will be

offering a two year captstone A.P. course. We will be only one only a few in the state authorized to

offer the course. Students completing the two year program will receive a special certificate from the

College Board which will enhance the chance of admission to the college of their choice.

I want to extend a special congratulations to Ms. Iris Crankfield who has earned her National

Board Certification.

I also want to recognize those special students who were selected for student of the

month In closing, I have indicated below South River’s “Students of the Month” for De-

cember.

Connecting You and Your Child to Information on Our Journey to Greatness

The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing: families have a major influence on their children’s achievement. When schools, families, and community groups work together

to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.” Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp

Read with and/or to your child every day – right through middle school – a great time to learn together.

Talk with your children when you are together - driving, making dinner, sharing a book, or waiting for a bus. Talk about what you are both doing, tell them about their family history, recall your childhood, etc.

Post your child’s vocabulary words on the refrigerator and use them with your child throughout the week.

“La evidencia es consistente, positiva y convincente: las familias tienen una gran influencia en el

rendimiento de sus hijos. Cuando las escuelas, las familias y los grupos de la comunidad trabajan juntos para apoyar el aprendizaje, los niños tienden a mejorar en la escuela, permanecer en la escuela

por más tiempo y les gusta más la escuela.” Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp

Connecting You and Your Child to Information on Our Journey to Greatness

The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing: families have a major influence on their children’s achievement. When schools, families, and

community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.”

Supporting Your Children in

English Language Arts

By Dessolene Davis, NBCT AACPS Department of Elementary Reading and Integrated Literacy

Maryland is implementing more rigorous and consistent learning expectations to meet the English Language Arts College and Career Readiness Standards (ELACCRS). This shift is reflected in AACPS Language Arts instruction across the grades and content areas.

What is expected of students? Students in every grade level are challenged to read more non-fiction texts – “real life” current and historical events, natural and technical sciences, biographies. This includes reading and understanding more complex “real world” technical manuals, application forms, insurance claims, college textbooks and articles. They will be better equipped to succeed when they graduate.

Students are also expected to discuss and write about what they’ve read, and always with supporting evidence. Now they must carefully review the text and “read closely” to find the information to support their position or claim.

You can help: Reinforce this skill by asking your kids for evidence to support their arguments and discussions in real life activities and situations. For example, expect your children to use facts and other evidence to justify why they should receive certain gifts or privileges. Encourage them to research supporting evidence to strengthen ideas.

Finally, students are now reading and listening to more complex text and are expected to use more complex words. This is vital to vocabulary growth and stronger reading skills in all content areas throughout the school day.

You can help: Look for books to read aloud that will stretch your child’s vocabulary, then practice using those new words in real life activities.

You can help: There is one simple, activity that research overwhelmingly shows is the most effective thing you can do to support your children’s reading and academic skills development: Read with your children every day, no matter their age or grade level. Read aloud, share-read texts, find facts to support ideas, and talk about what you are reading. Enjoy learning together.

“La evidencia es consistente, positiva y convincente: las familias tienen una gran influencia en el rendimiento de sus hijos. Cuando las escuelas, las familias y los grupos de la comunidad trabajan juntos para apoyar el aprendizaje, los niños tienden a mejorar en la escuela, permanecer en la escuela por más tiempo y les gusta más la escuela.” Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp

Apoyando a sus Hijos en Artes de Lenguaje de

Ingles

Por Dessolene Davis, NBCT AACPS Departamento de Lectura Primaria y Alfabetización Integral

Maryland está implementando expectativas de aprendizaje más rigurosa y consistente para cumplir con las Normas de Preparación de Carrera en Arte de Lenguaje Ingles (de las siglas en ingles ELACCRS). Este cambio se refleja en la instrucción en AACPS en Artes del Lenguaje través de los grados y áreas de contenido. ¿Qué se espera de los estudiantes? Los estudiantes en cada nivel de grado son retados a leer más textos de no ficción – eventos actuales e históricos de la "vida real", las ciencias naturales y técnicas, biografías. Esto incluye leyendo y entendiendo más complejos manuales técnicos del "mundo real", formularios de solicitud, las reclamaciones de seguros, libros al nivel de la universidad y artículos. Estarán mejor preparados para tener éxito cuando se gradúen. También se espera que los estudiantes puedan discutir y escribir sobre lo que han leído y siempre con la correspondiente documentación acreditativa. Ahora deben revisar el texto cuidadosamente y "leer detenidamente" para encontrar la información para apoyar su posición o reclamar. Usted puede ayudar: Reforzar esta habilidad pidiéndole a sus hijos evidencia para apoyar sus argumentos y discusiones en las actividades de la vida real y situaciones. Por ejemplo, espere que sus niños usen hechos y otras pruebas para justificar por qué deberán recibir ciertos regalos o privilegios. Anímelos a investigar evidencias para reforzar sus ideas. Finalmente, los estudiantes ahora están leyendo y escuchando a texto más complejo y se espera que usen palabras más complejas. Esto es vital para el crecimiento de vocabulario y habilidades de lectura más fuertes en todas las áreas de contenido a lo largo del día escolar. Usted puede ayudar: Buscar libros para leer en voz alta que estire el vocabulario de su niño, entonces practicar el uso de esas palabras nuevas en las actividades de la vida real. Usted puede ayudar: Hay una sencilla actividad que abrumadoramente demuestra la investigación que es lo más eficaz que usted puede hacer para apoyar la lectura de sus hijos y el desarrollo de habilidades académicas: Leer con sus niños cada día, sin importar su edad o del nivel de grado. Leer en voz alta, compartir la lectura de textos, buscar hechos para apoyar ideas y hablar sobre lo que está leyendo. Disfrutar aprender juntos.
