My name is Mrs. Aishan Lu Yokoo. I have taught second grade, first grade and third grade for a total of 14 years. Some exciting news, my eight year old is in third grade here at KEY! Time flies and new wonderful memories are being made! I am happy to be back with the opportunity to work with all the teachers, students, and parents at such a great and flourishing environment like KEY Academy! I am the testing coordinator/teacher support this year. I look forward to a great year! One very important thing I would like to stress is attendance, if students are in school, then they are given the chance to learn, but if they are not present then they have missed out on an opportunity to learn and grow. I know the struggles in getting a child to school, but it will only benefit them and that is what we want, the best for our child. I will look forward to and expect lots of hard work and dedication from teachers, students, and parents, because with everyone's participation we will have a successful year!

Update

Dear Parents,

It has been a hectic and grueling couple of weeks! We have had lots of rain and practice testing! Hopefully the students will be better prepared for our Smarter Balanced tests towards the end of the year.

Our class will be talking more about Black History and our Spelling Bee semi is tomorrow! Also, I am sharing some information about Chinese New Year with them too. Lastly, we just made our lovely Valentine's Day shopping bags today and everybody got way too many sweets! Thank you to everybody for all the lovely sweets and gifts, I love them all so much! I am truly lucky to have such a wonderfully sweet class!

P.S. March is Literacy Month, there will be many activities coming up! The students will be required to choose someone they admire, interview them, and make a poster showing us why they chose that person to share with the class.

Finally, our weekly spelling and lesson tests have been a little off due to testing and other events.
