Amargosa Schools (Prek-8)

Dear Parents, It is time for the second round of testing! All students will begin their MAPS testing this week. It's very important that students do their best on all exams. As an incentive, we will be offering an exciting reward field trip to SeaQuest for students who qualify. Elementary students must show growth in both English and Math, Students in grades 5-8 must show growth in two of the three subjects tested. Only students who qualify will participate in the field trip. We are working to make this happen in January. Rest, sleep well, eat well, do well! Let's do this! Below is a link about SeaQuest. ¡Es hora de la segunda ronda de pruebas! Todos los estudiantes comenzarán sus exámenes MAPS esta semana. Es muy importante que los estudiantes hagan lo mejor en todos los exámenes. Como incentivo, ofreceremos una emocionante excursión de recompensa a SeaQuest para los estudiantes que califican. Los estudiantes de primaria deben mostrar crecimiento tanto en inglés como en matemáticas. Los estudiantes en los grados 5-8 deben mostrar crecimiento en dos de las tres materias evaluadas. Solo los estudiantes que califiquen participarán en la excursión. Estamos trabajando para que esto suceda en enero. Descansa, duerme bien, come bien, ¡hazlo bien! ¡Hagámoslo!

Exámenes de MAPS comienzan esta semana para todos los estudiantes. Platique con su hijo sobre la importancia de estos exámenes y de hacer lo mejor que puedan. Asegúrese de que duerman suficientes horas y tengan un desayuno saludable todos los días. Haciendo las dos cosas puede asegurar que su hijo haga un trabajo a una capacidad completa.

MAPS Testing will begin this week for all students. Please talk to your child about the importance of doing their best every day. Students should get plenty of sleep every night and eat a good breakfast. Doing both of these things will ensure that your child is working at full capacity.

Help your child focus on listening well To succeed in school, children need good communication skills. One of them is listening. To build your child's skills, say her name to get her attention. Then look her in the eye and speak quietly; your child will have to listen closely. Model good listening by paying undivided attention when your child speaks to you. Encourage her to continue with statements like, "Tell me more." http://niswc.com/15gDC276091 ------------------------------------------ Ayude a su hijo a concentrarse en escuchar bien Para tener éxito en la escuela, los niños necesitan tener habilidades de comunicación sólidas. Escuchar es una de estas habilidades. Para desarrollar las habilidades de escucha de su hijo, diga su nombre para captar su atención. Luego mírelo a los ojos y use un tono de voz suave. De este modo, él tendrá que escuchar atentamente. Préstele toda su atención cuando él le hable a usted, para mostrarle cómo se escucha atentamente. Y para continuar la conversación, hágale comentarios como, "Cuéntame más sobre eso". http://niswc.com/25gDC276091
