Dear Parents,

Welcome, my name is Mrs. Jitosho and I will be your child’s teacher this year. Before this year gets underway, I would like to take this opportunity to let you know how happy that your child will be in my class this year.

I am dedicated to making this a busy, productive, and awesome year for all of my students. I will communicate with you often about my classroom plans, your child’s progress, school events, and other activities as they arise.

During our first weeks of school, we will learn more about our Daily Online schedules for Classroom Zoom Meetings and daily Curriculum.
I look forward to seeing each of you on August 13^th to pick up your child’s workbooks and materials.

Please feel free to contact me at bjitosho@csdo.org if you have any questions or concerns.
 

Sincerely,

Mrs. B. Jitosho

Dear Parents,

 Thank you for attending our Back to School Night, here in the Zoom Classroom. I hope that you've been informed on our Multi-Age Classes and what our Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten classes are learning to adjust to a different way of communicating with each other. 

It’s so exciting each morning as the classes gather with our opening song, “Good Morning to you!”  There are lots of smiles and excitement as we welcome our friends to the MAC- Zoom Classroom.

I also would like to say ”thank-you” to Ms. Soto for her daily support and expertise as we learn and grow together in an age-appropriate and loving environment. Now, I would like to update you on the many wonderful things we are learning this first trimester.

 In Religion, we are learning more about God’s love for us and God’s creation of the Earth, Skies, People, and Animals. The class is enjoying listening and discussing some favorite Bible stories during our Religion class time. We’ve learned that God Loves Us! The class knows that God created our Families to take care of us! We are also learning more about how our families should show love by caring, helping, and sharing in their daily lives.

In Social Studies, we are learning that we have Leaders at Home and at School. We’ve also discovered that our Community Helpers are also our Leaders in our Community and want to take care of us and keep us safe. We’ve played digital games to help recognize and understand what our Community Helpers Jobs are and why we need their help and services.

In Reading and Language Arts, we have learned more about letters and sounds with the use of our weekly Letter Books. The class has made amazing progress with identifying and recognizing our alphabet, letter-sound relationship as it is introduced in our daily language development.

In Math this first trimester we are learning more about the concepts of Counting. Counting Objects, and Counting Zero to Five. Our class has used the website, http://www.abcya.com where the students enjoy playing various Math Games: Counting Fish, Counting and Dot to Dots, and Number Match which helps enrich the students’ skills and give them greater confidence with patterns and sorting and classifying objects.

We would like to thank you, parents, for your daily support in making your child’s transition into our new digital world while we are distance learning with lots of love and patience.

Sincerely,

Mrs. B. Jitosho
