🫲 🫱 Ms. Sasada's Kindergarten class at Golden Hills Elementary are developing an important building block of learning - knowing their right from their left! They practiced with Ms. Sasada and filled out worksheets following directions to identify the left hand on their paper from the right hand. For example, coloring blue nails on the left hand and green nails on the right.

Left-to-right tracking is the backbone of reading and writing in English. A strong sense of left/right helps students correctly form letters (especially between letters that are similar, like b and d), follow lines of reading, and track page numbers. Developing an understanding of left/right is a cognitive milestone, showing that students can distinguish between two symmetric concepts. This skill also gives students confidence in the classroom instead of watching their classmates for cues to follow directions or take next steps. Parents can support their students by practicing the difference at home!

Real students. Real results. PLCS ACT Prep.

Registration is open now at plcschools.org/actprep

Alexis had never had Mr. Mahoney as a teacher before this course. Within the first few minutes, she could tell how well he knew his subject, and he made sure his pacing worked for everyone in the room. That extra effort, including staying late for questions, gave her real confidence going into the math section.

Courses start September 13th — don't wait to sign up!

🟩🟥🟦🟨 Play is not only for fun! Kindergarten students in Ms. Anderson's classroom at La Vista West Elementary played a game from their workbooks this week. The game featured counting to five, helped students practice math vocabulary like "more" and "less," and following sequential directions on the board.

Play engages memory, attention, and problem-solving as kids figure out how something works. It also helps develop social skills as students engage with each other. Play is the best kind of learning!

Pictured above is the traffic diagram for after the game on Friday, September 4th, between Papillion La Vista Monarchs and Titans. Due to the large amount of traffic expected, carpooling is encouraged.

Pre-game traffic will flow as usual. Park in marked stalls only. Remember, there is no parking in emergency lanes, temporary marked areas, and grass areas. Post-game traffic will only be allowed to exit using the two exits highlighted above by the blue lines. All exiting traffic will be directed towards Highway 370. No left turns will be permitted onto 108th Street.

For spectators, please use the far south entrance highlighted with the red lines. Monarchs' drop/pick-up area will be the west side of the stadium, and the Titans' drop/pick-up area will be the east side. We ask that no one pick up spectators along 108th Street for everyone's safety.

📖 As sixth grade students at Hickory Hill Elementary dig into their lessons, they're developing their vocabulary alongside the reading. In addition to their vocabulary list, they're responsible for looking up words they don't know in the dictionary or thesaurus. They identify antonyms and synonyms further develop their understanding of the word and the meaning of the text.
