Happy Summer!

Felz verano!

I hope everyone is enjoying fun in the sun. I am

looking forward to the 2015-2016 school year and
getting know each and every one of you and our
students. I want to welcome new and returning
parents to the Dual Language Immersion Program at
Treadwell Elementary. We have exciting changes in
our building this upcoming school year with new
and returning personnel.
Also, please ensure that our students are keeping
their bilingual tongues flowing this summer. With
this in mind, attached is reading material and
resources for you and your child to enhance
language fluency. The 2nd-5th grade teachers and I
will be looking for a book report the first week of
school, written in both Spanish and English. I look
forward to your thoughts and your assistance with
developing our biliterate and bicultural students.

Espero que todo el mundo est disfrutando y

divertiendose con el sol. Estoy entusiasmada para el
comienzo de este ao escolar del 2015-2016 y a
conocerlos a cada uno de ustedes y a nuestros alumnos.
Quiero darles la bienvenida a los padres nuevos y a los
que regresan para el Programa de Inmersin de Dos
Idiomas en la Escuela Primaria Treadwell.
Tenemos varios cambios interesantes en nuestro edificio
este prximo ao escolar con personal nuevo y personal
que regresa.
Tambin, por favor asegrese de que nuestros
estudiantes estn manteniendo sus lenguas bilinges este
verano. Con esto en mente, adjuntado hay material de
lectura y recursos para que usted y su hijo mejoren fluidez
con el idioma. Los maestros de segundo-quinto grado del
programa y yo estaremos esperando un reporte, escrito
en ingls y en espaol, sobre uno de los libros en la lista.
Espero sus pensamientos y su asistencia con el desarrollo
de nuestros estudiantes bilinges y biculturales.

Warm regards,

Saludos,
