This week in Pathways
Dear Parents,
We are thrilled that you joined us for the Parent Engagement Workshop! Your participation is vital as we build our wonderful community together.
This week, the children had their yearbook pictures taken—they looked lovely! They also engaged with math stories, showcasing their problem-solving skills, and even created new colors, giving them unique names of their own.
A Few Reminders:
- Please send a plant for our class.
- Keep an extra uniform in your child’s backpack.
- If you have toilet paper rolls and towel paper rolls at home, we would appreciate your contributions.
- Please pack extra snacks for the kids, especially those who stay for after-school.
We’d also like to clarify the purpose of the observation tool that was sent home. The Target Language Level Sheet is designed to help us track your child’s progress throughout the unit, focusing on key areas such as play, attention, verbal comprehension, and expressive language.
Each observation is dated and reflects your child's development over time. Please remember that this is not an assessment; rather, it’s a way for us to understand how each child is growing and learning at their own pace.
In the next unit, you will also receive a math sheet that shows where your child currently stands in their math skills, along with strategies to support their learning at home.
You will receive one Target Language Level Sheet per unit—six in total—and one Early Numeracy sheet per unit starting in Unit 2, making a total of five Early Numeracy sheets for the school year. We will have the opportunity to discuss these observations during the Pathways conference at the end of each trimester.
Thank you for your continued support!
Warm regards,
Pathways Team
