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!

Here are the spelling words for the week of Oct. 19-23. We are focusing on long I and long u words. Our weekly concept is cooperation and we are reading folktales that teach us a lesson. In math we are going to start with multiplication. Please study any or all of these concepts with your child and always read or encourage reading for comprehension!

Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

This week is a short week, I have not given new spelling words for our 3 days of school. Regular spelling homework will resume next Monday and new spelling words will be posted on Monday. There is no school on Thursday the 24th and Friday the 25th of this week and Picture Day is next Wednesday the 30th. Please check or ask students to see their tests that are being passed back during the beginning of the week. Please sign your name to let the teacher know you have seen it and possibly reviewed it with your child. If you have any questions about anything please don't hesitate to contact me or talk with me. Have a great rest of the week!

Also, a reminder for hot lunch students, it is a new policy that all money goes straight to the lunch lady and not to the office or the teacher. If you would like to pay early for more than one day you can stop by the cafeteria in the morning or your child could do it during free breakfast time.

Mrs. Aishan

Here is a picture of our homework schedule, it is a breakdown of homework for each day of the week!

Dear Parents,

Here are this week's spelling words they will need for homework every night! If you still have questions please contact me!

I wanted to take this time to thank all of the parents that took their time to come to Back to School Night, it was a huge success!

Also, from now on Breakfast will be served early in the morning starting from 7:50am-8:05am. Breakfast is a really important meal, if you don't have time at home for breakfast please bring your child in early so that they can enjoy some nourishment at school!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Aishan Lu Yokoo

Welcome Back!

Dear Parents,

Welcome back to a brand new year, it will be a wonderful year with all of your children. It will be a year full of learning, exploring, and fun! It will be a very successful year if we all work together to guide your child in the right direction.

Homework will be given everyday with an exception of Fridays (there might be some Fridays with light homework). Your child will have Spelling(spelling words are in their spelling notebook which should be taken home every night and brought back to school to turn in), Reading Comprehension(worksheet), Math practice(worksheet from what we practiced in class that day), silent read for 20min and a reading log to follow the 20min reading(write a summary about what they read). Students are encouraged to read more chapter books and practice more paragraph writing. Spelling words will be copied down in class at the beginning of the week, if your child forgets his/her words you can find them posted here weekly.

Students will also be given more projects to work on this year, materials needed will be asked during the year, and directions will be given during the time assigned. Looking forward to a great year!

(Be sure to join us at BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT Thursday 6pm-7:30pm. I will be giving a short presentation at 6:15pm-6:30pm.)

Love,

Mrs. Aishan
