Dear Parents,

We live in a world surrounded by technology and we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works.
But only a tiny fraction of us are learning how technology works. Fewer than half of all schools teach computer science.
That’s why our entire school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 2-8). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.
Our Hour of Code is making a statement that Clarendon School is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills. To continue bringing programming activities to your students, we want to make our Hour of Code event huge. I encourage you to volunteer, reach out to local media, share the news on social media channels and consider hosting additional Hour of Code events in the community.
This is a chance to change the future of education in Secaucus.
See http://hourofcode.com/us for details, and help spread the word.


Sincerely,
Dr. Garzon

Mrs. Jaramillo’s Kindergarten enjoyed some pre Groundhog’s Day fun this Friday. Following some discussion and readings, the class charted their predictions then made puppets and explored their own in class “burrow” to act out what Punxsutawney Phil will do on Saturday.

Our annual St. Jude Jersey Day was a huge success. Students and teachers showed their team spirit while supporting this amazing cause. Thank you for your support.

The fourth grade students have been working hard on their reading skills. They have been reading paired passages on “CommonLit” a reading website where students have access to reading passages, comprehension and analytical questions, as well as writing response questions that can be graded by teachers and sent back to students with suggestions for improved writing.

Fifth graders in Ms.Sallustio's and Miss.Primavera's class participated in a "Figurative Language Gallery Walk" to help improve and identify figurative language skills.

Kindergarten students at Clarendon School in Mrs. Abuhouran’s
class have been learning about measuring
using the inchworm measuring tool. Learning about inches during the letter “Ii” week has been so much fun. Students got to work with a partner measuring various things in the classroom. Students had an “incredible “ time “inching” their way around class!!

The second grade students in Mrs. Wurst’s class had fun “writing the room.” They worked together to find different classroom objects to describe using adjectives for number, size, and shape.

5th grade students in Mr. Sommer's Technology class were excited to be completing course 1 in Code.org. In this unit the students created computer programs that will help them learn to collaborate with others, develop problem-solving skills, and persist through difficult tasks. By the end of the course, they create their very own custom game or story that they can share.
