NATIONAL READING WEEK
March 2 - 5, 2020
To celebrate National Reading Week, we have some fun activities planned for next week.
On Monday, March 2, the Beatty High School student council will come to Amargosa School to help us celebrate Reading Week. The high school students will meet up with our middle school and fifth grade students and go into all of our elementary classrooms and read to a student one on one. All of our students, young and old, will interact, have fun, and participate! The goal is for all to join in and experience the joy of reading!
Students may also dress up each day of the week as follows:
Monday: Hat Day - High school readers here
Tuesday: Sock Day - Silly or Mismatched
Wednesday: Twin Day - Wear Blue AV shirt
Thursday: Pajama Day - Classroom readers
We hope you will plan some reading activities at home with your child to celebrate Reading Week as well.

Parents:
Just a reminder, the Reward Field Trip to SeaQuest will take place this Friday, January 31st. We appreciate those parents that volunteered to chaperone, however, we have enough staff who have volunteered to meet the district chaperone requirements. Please note that parents must provide transportation to and from Amargosa School for the trip. Students must arrive at school by 8:00., as buses will be leaving promptly at 8:00 a.m. Buses are scheduled to return between 2:45 and 3:00 p.m. Please make sure students have breakfast at home as only lunch will be provided. Students may bring a snack, as well as money if they wish to purchase souvenirs. Everyone is excited and looking forward to this fun and exciting event!
Padres:
Solo un recordatorio, la excursión de recompensa a SeaQuest tendrá lugar este viernes 31 de enero. Agradecemos a aquellos padres que se ofrecieron como voluntarios para ser chaperones, sin embargo, tenemos suficiente personal que se ofreció como voluntario para cumplir con los requisitos de chaperones del distrito. Tenga en cuenta que los padres deben proporcionar transporte hacia y desde la Escuela Amargosa para el viaje. Los estudiantes deben llegar a la escuela para las 8:00, ya que los autobuses saldrán puntualmente a las 8:00 a.m. Los autobuses están programados para regresar entre las 2:45 y las 3:00 p.m. Asegúrese de que los estudiantes desayunen en casa ya que solo se proporcionará el lonche. Pueden traer alguna botana si gustan, así como dinero para comprar algun recuerdo si lo desean. ¡Todos estan muy contentos y emocionados sobre esta excursión!
Reading aloud is not just for preschoolers You may think of reading aloud as something you do with a young child. But your teen can benefit from it, too. Consider reading aloud to each other from a story or article that might interest him. You might also check out an audiobook from your library. Hearing fluent reading can improve your teen's own reading fluency. And if he likes it, it may inspire him to read another book on that topic or by that author. click on the following link for further information: http://niswc.com/36acC276091 ______________________________________ La lectura en voz alta no es solo para los niños preescolares Quizás usted considere que leer en voz alta es una actividad para realizar solo con los niños pequeños. Pero su joven también puede beneficiarse de la lectura en voz alta. Considere turnarse con él para leer en voz alta una historia o artículo que podría interesarle. También podría sacar un audiolibro de la biblioteca. Escuchar una lectura fluida ayudará a mejorar la fluidez de su joven al leer. Y si le gusta, podría inspirarlo a leer otro libro de ese tema o autor. Haga clic en el siguiente enlace para más información:

Everyone benefits when you get involved at school Volunteers work for free, but not for nothing. There are lots of benefits to getting involved at school. You'll learn what's going on and get another perspective on what your child tells you. You'll have things to talk about with your child. You'll have a chance to develop valuable skills, such as project management or fundraising. And you'll be able to make a difference to every child in the school.
