Weekly News: March 16-20 


We will be celebrating St. Patrick's Day on Tuesday by wearing green, sharing our Leprechaun Traps and having fun St. Patrick's Day centers.  

There are no electives and there is no Success Academy this week!

This is our last week of school before spring break. We will have NO SCHOOL for the next two weeks. Spring break is a perfect time to work on your Community Service Projects! I hope you have a wonderful two weeks off with your families! We will see you back on Tuesday, April 7th. 


What Are We Learning This Week?:

Sight Words: There will be no new sight words introduced until after Spring Break.  Please take this time to review ALL of our words introduced so far.  Remember, sight words are words that your child should recognize instantly.  These are not words your child should be sounding out!  Please continue to work on these words. 

Letter Team: There will be no new letter teams introduced until after Spring Break.  Please take this time to review ALL of our letter teams introduced so far. Many children know most of the letter teams, but have a hard time applying them into decoding words. A great idea would be to write words (or make flashcards) with letter teams inside them and have your child decode the word for you, applying the letter team. (example: FARM - "I see the letter team AR inside the word FARM.")

Reading: We will read books about leprechauns and spring. Students will continue to read fluency passages at their levels and their self-selected good-fit books from the library. Many students have begun taking AR quizzes on books they have been reading. (Students will learn how to do this once they are reading proficiently at grade level.)

Writing: This week, we will write about Spring. 

Math: This week we will be focusing on the ways to make 10. We are learning that there are 11 ways to make 10: 10+0, 9+1, 8+2, 7+3, etc. Please review this at home!

Leadership: We will continue to ROAR and discuss what it means to have a growth mindset!

Hello! My name is Brilane Bobrink and I am beyond excited to be your child's kindergarten teacher! I am looking forward to having a successful academic year! This is a big step for your little one, so please allow me to share a little about myself. :) I have earned a Master's Degree in Education with a teaching credential from the University of California, Riverside, where I have also received a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies. My passion has always been working with children! This will be my seventh year teaching Kindergarten here at Inland Leaders. I have also had the opportunity to work in 1st and 3rd grade classrooms, tutor students from elementary levels to college levels, teach dance at a local dance studio, work as a summer camp counselor for young children, and teach Sunday School  (preschool through 5th grade). Aside from teaching, I love to dance! I have  20+ years of ballet training and experience.   I used to dance and perform at Disneyland!  My other
