Dear Families,
Happy first day of school, and welcome back! I hope you’re as excited as I am to start the 2019–20 school year. This is a great time to be a student in a New York City public school. So many of our students and schools are doing better than ever. We have the highest-ever graduation rate, and more students graduating ready to succeed in college. And I expect more great things for our students this year.
From our youngest learners to our oldest in high school, our children are the next generation of thinkers, leaders, creators, and change-makers. We are ready to propel each of them on that path. Our commitment holds steady regardless of a student’s family income, race, religion, nationality, disability, language spoken at home, sexual orientation, gender identification, or any other dimension of their identity. Everyone at the DOE is working hard to ensure that every student gets the rigorous, inspiring, engaging, nurturing education they deserve.
I call this the Children’s Agenda—every day and every decision is about getting each student what THEY need to succeed. We understand that no two students, classrooms, or schools are alike, and recognize the beautiful and distinctive nature of each. At the same time, we are offering our students and families strong support, creating more welcoming schools, and ensuring a rigorous curriculum for all. Students across the city will benefit from social-emotional learning, restorative justice practices, and culturally responsive curriculum that reflects who they are. This is what it means to advance equity now. All of us at the DOE hope you love what you see today, and wish you a successful school year.
Sincerely, Richard A. Carranza Chancellor

Kindergarten Newsletter - Nov 2019
Reading:
Kindergarten students are learning to tell stories across pages. They will look at the pictures to think about how the characters are feeling and why. We are working towards building stamina during independent reading time. They will begin to point to each word as they read in their leveled books. The children are practicing talking about their books with a partner during reading workshop.
Writing:
Kindergarten students are learning to write true stories. They are being encouraged to use the word wall (sight words) to help them write. The children are also beginning to take risks when writing new words. They say the word they want to write, say the word slowly, and write a letter for each sound they hear.
Math:
Kindergarten students will learn how to develop strategies to accurately count objects and record how many they have counted using pictures, words and/or numbers.
Social Studies:
Kindergarten students will be able to talk about their families as well as their culture. The students will get an opportunity to share their heritage with their classmates by participating in a family project. Each student will get a paper cut out of a doll, “Heritage Doll” which the students get to dress up to help identify with the student’s culture. They will then share their project with the other students in the class and talk about the different aspects of their culture.
Kindergarten students will be introduced to attributes and properties and will use them in our study of solids.
Students will be creative and learn how Music and Movement can create a story through dance.
Students will explore shapes and patterns. We will look at the work of both contemporary and historical artists for inspiration.
This month's theme is "Music Is For Everyone". We can all express ourselves through singing, making up dramatic movements to songs, and doing circle and partner dances.
Students are being introduced to a variety of aerobic activities and exercises. Please visit my webpage on the PS230.org website.

A FUN ACTIVITY TO PRACTICE SIGHT WORDS AT HOME
