News from the Nest

Words of the Week is a fun way for the Fremont community to help our students' vocabulary SOAR! Each week we will post a MATH and ELA vocab word that may appear in our informal and formal state assessments. Our hope is that staff, families and students will find fun and engaging ways to learn these terms! You could: Play a word game in the car! Keep a running list of the words! Hang them on the bathroom mirror! Sing them! Create a word scavenger hunt!

Here are this week's words:

Scale: the size or level of something in comparison to what is average

Summarize: give a brief statement of the main points of (something).

Hello Ellis families! I am the new Ellis school librarian. I have ten years of education experience in the Oyster River and Rochester school systems. After working as a special education paraprofessional and a math interventionist, I went back to school to get my library certification - there's no better job than reading with kids. I may be new to Ellis, but not to Fremont - I have been selling my art at the New Hampshire Renaissance faire at Brookvale Pines for four years now! I have had a blast getting to know your students and the Ellis library. Please reach out with any questions, my email is esomers@sau83.org. I look forward to talking with you!
