Message from Mrs. Perez & CKH November Newsletter
Hello, Tiger Families!
With the arrival of fall, our lost and found on campus is filling up with jackets and hoodies. Please remind your students to check lost and found if they are missing any items. We clean this area up every nine weeks, so encourage your child to take a look if they have lost their jackets or hoodies.
Additionally, you should have received a letter detailing some changes in our Math classes. We have transitioned to Carnegie Learning’s Texas Math Solution, a curriculum that blends science-backed insights into learning with practical applications to math instruction. The Math Solution includes a consumable textbook and MATHia software, both designed to accommodate diverse learning styles and strategies. Our aim with Carnegie Learning Math Solution is to offer our students the opportunities they need to succeed by learning through hands-on experiences.
This month, our CKH families are focusing on the value of teamwork. While some students participate in teams both in and out of school, our classes themselves can also function as cohesive teams. Within their classes, students collaborate with others to achieve shared objectives. To cultivate effective teamwork, it is crucial to cultivate skills such as active listening, supporting peers, and appreciating the diverse talents and abilities that each member brings. Teamwork enhances both verbal and non-verbal communication, fosters interpersonal understanding, and celebrates differences. Your child has already begun honing these skills in their classes by establishing a Social Contract at the start of the year. Through collaborative efforts, the class outlined expectations and set standards for behavior that every member is expected to uphold. Teamwork also nurtures a culture of encouragement and affirmation, strengthens team bonds, and fosters trust, thereby creating a positive environment. Ultimately, teamwork accountability among all members for shaping the class culture. The newsletter for this month has some great information and activities for you to practice with your student. We are BETTER TOGETHER!
