Below is the list of proposals that will be considered and voted on at the November 18th PTO meeting. Copies will also be available in the office, and we are working on getting it translated into Spanish (hopefully by the end of the week). Remember, according to our by-laws, members (parents, teachers, staff) must be present to vote. We will start reviewing proposals at 7:30, and take the vote by 8:00 or 8:15 at the latest. Other business will be conducted from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. (see separate e-mail for complete agenda - please come for the entire meeting, featuring a special "Parent-to-Parent Forum" targeted for new Adams Families).

Books are piling up again on the libary's carts reserved for books ready to be shelved. Nonfiction books are especially piling up. If you can spare 30 minutes to an hour this week to stop by and shelve some books, that would be great. Thanks very much to the consistent shelvers and the occasional ones. I’m glad that more people have been trained in shelving, so we can help Kathy keep all those wonderful books available for students to check out and read. If you could shelve but have not yet been trained, please contact Kathy, the Adams librarian. Janelle Rohr, library volunteer coordinator |

Adams Spanish Immersion is an elementary school that provides children with an opportunity to be fluent in a second language. Adams' students are surrounded by Spanish all day long and learn to speak and comprehend the language much as a child learns to speak for the first time.
Our School is a place where families and staff value the importance of language and the opportunities that are gained by learning another language.
We could not be more pleased with the education our son is receiving at Adams. He's already fluent going into 6th grade. He has great teachers and enjoys going to school.
Adams Parent
It is a magical place where dedicated staff and involved parents nurture young minds and hearts.

As you prepare your child to start Kindergarten in a language immersion setting, you can help him have a successful learning experience by ensuring that: - your child has a strong foundation in his/her first language. Read to him/her, in any language. Read daily, read often.
- involve your child in conversations - expose him/her to vocabulary that has to do with colors, shapes, animals, people, etc.
- develop in your child a sense of excitement and wonder about the world, and especially about the great gift of learning a second language.
- be ready to help your child with daily homework - basic supplies like pencils, crayons, scissors, glue, paper and a quiet place to sit down and work on it.
- expose your child to as many enriching experiences as possible - trips to the zoo, the museum, the park, the theater, the library. Make sure you have conversations about the things you see and learn while going to these places.
- help him/her follow a daily routine, including snacks, naps and bedtime.
