Juramento de Nuestro Mundo: En Nuestro Mundo valoramos a todos las personas sin importar el color de la piel, el idioma, el país de origen, género o habilidad. Todos somos seres humanos que merecemos tolerancia, seguridad y oportunidades. MENSAJE DE NUESTRO DIRECTOR Queridas familias: ¡Lo logramos! ¡Otro exitoso ciclo escolar! Estoy feliz de compartir con ustedes la información relacionada con las metas que nosotros como una escuela, nos propusimos cumplir en septiembre. En primer lugar, permítanme compartirles que este es el ¡quinto año consecutivo en que Nuestro Mundo tiene el mayor índice de asistencia en la ciudad de Madison! Un promedio de 95.45% de los estudiantes estuvieron presentes en cualquier día de este ciclo escolar. Contenido: Biblioteca 2 Carrea Puma 3 NMI 6 Grupo 7 Comunitario Equipo Verde 8 Calendario 9 Box Tops Académicamente, cumplimos casi todas nuestras metas y seguimos viendo algunos de los crecimientos más rápidos de la ciudad en las medidas de lectura en español e inglés. Más del 79% de nuestros estudiantes en Kindergarten, 1 ero y 2 ndo grado lograron el punto de referencia para la lectura en español (nuestra meta fue 75%). En los grados 3 ero, 4 to y 5 to , más del 41% de los estudiantes alcanzaron el dominio de la lectura en inglés, sólo un punto porcentual por debajo del promedio del distrito. Sin embargo, al mirar el número de estudiantes que alcanzaron sus metas de crecimiento, usted ve cuánto han logrado estos estudiantes este año. ¡El 71% de los estudiantes alcanzaron sus objetivos de crecimiento este año! ¡Estas cifras de crecimiento están dentro de las más alta de la ciudad! Este increíble crecimiento académico se vuelve aún más inspirador cuando se considera la coacción que estos niños han estado viviendo debido a un ambiente político que es abiertamente opresivo y discriminatorio hacia las minorías y las poblaciones de inmigrantes. La fortaleza y la resistencia de nuestros estudiantes y maestros son verdaderamente inspiradoras. Les doy las gracias a ustedes, las familias, por reunirse para apoyarse mutuamente este año. Le han dado vida al espíritu y al potencial de lo que siempre hemos creído que es Nuestro Mundo: un lugar en donde todos son bienvenidos, todos están seguros, y todos son amados. Ha sido un año que personalmente nunca olvidaré. ¡Les deseo un verano seguro, divertido y feliz! Josh Forehand Director 10

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Libraryndash Mrs Gosdeck

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Libraryndash Mrs Gosdeck

June 2017

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Libraryndash Mrs Gosdeck

June 2017

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Libraryndash Mrs Gosdeck

June 2017

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Libraryndash Mrs Gosdeck

June 2017

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

Inside this issue

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

Finally donrsquot forget about this free opportunity this summer

Get a Library Card

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

How close was your guess

Nuestro Mundo Pledge At Nuestro Mundo we value all people regardless of skin color

language country of origin gender or ability We are all human beings deserving of toler-

ance security and opportunity

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

What an exciting May for the Green Team We were awarded the Master

Area Master Gardenerrsquos Association (MAMGA) grant for the second year

in a row With this grant we purchased a variety of gardening tools for

students and teachers to use radish seeds for vegetable container garden-

ing (each classroom has a container they can plant in) and a third com-

post bin since the two we have are usually near capacity (way to go stu-

dents on composting your cafeteria food scraps) Itrsquos been fun to see rad-

ishes already popping up in our new container garden outside the cafete-

ria doors

National Wildlife Federation and the Subaru loves the earth campaign also

chose Nuestro Mundo Community School as one of their award recipients

We received two bird houses a bird bath a toad house bird feeder

hummingbird feeder soil a few garden tools a watering can 18 native

plants and $100 gift card to use on garden needs We installed most of

these items in our rain garden during our garden work day and it looks

great We are so thankful to all the volun-

teers that came out and once again weeded

and mulched to make the outdoor areas look so great Please take a

moment to stop by and check it outhellipbirds are already creating nests in the bird houses and eating lots of bird seed Our outdoor space will

now be able to receive the Wildlife Habitat certification from the Na-

tional Wildlife Federation

A special thanks to Elizabeth Kuisis for teaching the kids more about

composting at school assemblies in May This was a great opportunity for students who have been

composting in the lunch room to review what goes in compost in recycling or in landfill containers

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

Besides read books libraries

have AWESOME summer reading pro-

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

movies amp treats cool presenters like

one that brings in critters to hear about

more Fun Fun Fun

Keep Math Skills Sharp

Practice math with either flash

cards or math games on the computer

You can even help your family figure

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

their items will cost See how close you

can get Estimate the weight of fruits

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

Hey family one great way to en-

courage your childrsquos reading is for himher to own a library card their

very OWN library card

Then make it a commitment to go

to the library at least once a week to

check out books to read at home

A book or two is okay for an

adult or big sisterbrother to read to

your young reader But try to encour-

age your child to choose books that he

or she can read most of the words and

the book seems interesting to himher

What Can You Do at the

Library

grams that kids can earn cool prizes

just for reading Also libraries sponsor

one that brings in critters to hear about

and touch game nights and so much

more Fun Fun Fun

out their grocery bill by using estima-

tion Tell them about how much all

like bananas Then go ahead and

weigh them on the scale in produce

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL

Dear Families

We made it Another successful year

I am happy to share with you information related

to the goals we as a school set out to accomplish

back in September First let me share that for

the 5th year in a row Nuestro Mundo has the

highest attendance rate in the city of Madison

An average of 9545 students were present on

any given day this school year

Academically we met nearly all of our goals and

continue to see some of the most rapid growth in the city on Spanish and

English reading measures Over 79 of our students in Kindergarten 1st

and 2nd grades met the benchmark for Spanish reading (our goal was 75) In 3rd 4th and

5th grades over 41 of students achieved proficiency in English reading--just one percentage

point under the district average When you look at the number of students reaching their

growth targets however you see how much these students have accomplished this year 71

of students met their growth targets this year These growth numbers are among the highest

in the city

This incredible academic growth becomes even more inspiring when you consider the duress

these kids have been living under due to a political environment that is openly oppressive

and discriminatory toward minority and immigrant populations The strength and resilience

of our students and teachers is truly inspiring

I thank you the families for coming together to support each other this year You have

given life to the spirit and potential of what we have always believed Nuestro Mundo to be

A place where all are welcome all are safe and all are loved

Its been a year I personally will never forget I wish you a safe fun and happy summer
