RE: Parent Volunteer Help Needed!

Hi Everyone,

In case you were going to help me today (Friday), 2nd grade lab has been canceled due to an assembly (West Bay Opera). I could definitely use your help next week, however!

Thank you,

Margaret

Parent Volunteer Help Needed!

Dear Parents,
 

The 2nd graders are beginning research for their informational writing and, if Margaret has enough help, they will be able to search for information and/or pictures on the internet during lab time.  The 2nd graders have lab on Wednesday and Friday from 10:25 to 11:35.

Margaret and our kids really need your help!!!!

 

If you can help, please contact Margaret (mbecker@smfc.k12.ca.us) or just come to the class meeting in the computer lab!

 

 

Thanks,

 

Melissa Perez

FGIS PTA President

Reading Buddies * Important Info from FGIS!

 

FGIS READING BUDDIES NEEDED

Volunteers Needed to Support Students in Reading

 

We are looking for English & Spanish speaking people who can volunteer their time to help FGIS students improve their reading in both languages.  Reading Buddies are a group of people (parents, grandparents, neighbors, college students, etc.) who support our students with their reading & vocabulary.  The Reading Buddy meets individually with a student for 20 minutes, listening to the student read & supporting the student through encouragement & asking questions about the story. 

 

Reading Buddies meet with students from 8:40 am – 10:00 am each Friday in the Art Room (located between Rooms 6 & 7).  Please consider becoming a Reading Buddy, and let me know by sending me an email or phone call if you are interested in volunteering your time:

  • Every Friday from 8:40-9:00 (1 student assigned)
  • Every Friday from 8:40-9:40 (2 students assigned)
  • Every Friday from 8:40-10:00 (3 students assigned)
  • Drop-In when I can on Fridays

 

CONTACT:   Cassandra Robinson, Reading Buddy Coordinator & FGIS Parent

Phone: (650) 515-9713

Email: cassandra.ccap@gmail.com

 

 

"This is the most rewarding volunteer work I have ever done.  It is great to get to know a student, see them progress and watch them get excited about reading."

Laura Peters

Reading Buddy  since 2008 & FGIS Parent

 

"My students feel special when a Reading Buddy listens to them read."

–Maestra Carmen Ortiz

 

" I feel proud when a buddy tells me 'good job' when I read a hard word well."

-Student quote

 

"Many of my students who received Reading Buddy support last year gained so much from the experience. They were more engaged during instructional reading time in the classroom; their participation was more frequent, and their confidence was also evident. They seemed to be more prepared to talk about their experience as readers. They also had more ideas to write about.  I really appreciate and value the parent support for Reading Buddies."
