Washburn Weekly Update
Week of October 17th to 21st, 2016
******************************************************************
COLLEGE BOARD EN TU ESCUELA: 19 Y 20 DE OCTUBRE DE 2016
Con el fin de facilitar a nuestros estudiantes la administración del College
Board (PEAU), Washburn School ofrecerá la prueba en nuestra escuela el
miércoles 19 y el jueves 20 de octubre de 2016. La prueba la tomarán
estudiantes de 11mo y 12mo grado.
Ofrecer el College Board a los estudiantes en nuestra escuela es de gran beneficio para su
desempeño pues en lugar de tomar la prueba en un solo día de 8am a 4pm la toman en dos días
de 8am a 12pm. Además, en lugar de ir a una escuela que no conocen la toman en su misma sala
de clases y con el beneficio de tener aire acondicionado, pues por lo general los centros de
examen en Ponce no tienen aire. Esperamos que ningún estudiante se ausente estos días.
Nota: Los estudiantes que traigan celulares estos días deberán dejarlos en sus lockers, no podrán
tenerlos en sus bolsillos. La presencia de un celular durante la prueba podrá invalidar la misma.
******************************************************************
PRE-SAT TEST – MIÉRCOLES 19 DE OCTUBRE DE 2016 Para estudiantes de 9no, 10mo y 11mo que no tomarán el College Board el 19-octubre-2016
Les informamos que Washburn School ofrecerá la oportunidad
para los estudiantes de 9no, 10mo de tomar la prueba Pre-SAT el
próximo 19 de octubre de 2016. Podrán tomar el PSAT aquellos
estudiantes de 11mo que no tomarán el College Board ese dٕía. La
prueba tiene un costo de $15.00 y debe ser pagado en la oficina en
o antes del lunes 17 de octubre.
Nota: Los estudiantes que traigan celulares estos días deberán dejarlos en sus lockers, no podrán
tenerlos en sus bolsillos. La presencia de un celular durante la prueba podrá invalidar la misma.
-------------------------------------------------------

Sra. Norma I. Colón Torres
Directora Académica
Washburn una escuela viva, sigue dando ejemplo de lo que es trabajar con el estudiante como
centro, con los padres como parte activa en la gestión educativa y con el maestro como
facilitador del aprendizaje.
Respondiendo a los retos que establecen las exigencias del siglo XXI mantenemos los
estudiantes al día en el conocimiento de su entorno, promoviendo la era digital y el conocimiento
del hoy y el ahora para enfrentar el futuro.
Seguimos recibiendo los representantes de las universidades para orientar a los estudiantes sobre
los procesos de matrícula y becas. Esta semana tuvimos la UPR y la semana que viene
tendremos a la Universidad Interamericana. Estas universidades impactan a los estudiantes en el
periodo de salón hogar establecido todos los martes. Se proyecta la visita “Open House” de la
UPR el 7 de diciembre 2016 para el grado 11 y la visita de 12mo grado el 4 de noviembre en la
UPR en el área de su especialidad. De igual forma calendarizamos para el 19 y 20 de octubre la
administración del “College Examination Board” para el 11mo y 12mo, y la administración del
PreSAT para el 9no y 10mo.
El equipo al estudiantado, desde el nivel elemental para la toma de decisiones y para enfrentar
los retos que encuentre en su vida es la mejor ruta del éxito. La evaluación del carácter,
conducta y acciones de nuestros estudiantes nos lleva al trabajo continuo de clarificar valores y
modificar conducta. Les recordamos que esto es tarea de todos, padres, maestros y estudiantes.
“El aceptar los errores y el aceptar la ayuda necesaria para enmendarlos conlleva el
autoevaluarse no criticando lo que los otros hacen sin viendo lo bueno de que otros
intervengan.” NIC
****************************************************************** Sra. Magaly Jiménez Peña
Trabajadora Social
Saludos padres, madres y estudiantes. Agradezco profundamente su asistencia al Parents &
Teacher Conference el pasado viernes, 14 de octubre. Esto es una muestra más del compromiso
para trabajar en conjunto por el bienestar de nuestros estudiantes.
Esta próxima semana estaremos enfocados en colaborar con la orientación, orden y disciplina
requeridos para la administración del College Board a estudiantes de 11mo y 12mo grado el
miércoles 19 y jueves 20 de octubre. Por primera vez en Washburn School, los estudiantes tendrán
la oportunidad de tomar la Prueba de Evaluación y Admisión Universitaria en el ambiente regular
de su propio salón de clases. A estos estudiantes se les recomienda:
Alimentación y ejercicio. La alimentación es una parte esencial para la preparación previa
a un examen de este tipo. Expertos en nutrición recomiendan que dos semanas antes al
examen te alimentes adecuadamente y si puedes ejercitarte, mucho mejor, ya que el
ejercicio ayuda a que el cerebro oxigene mejor y así podrás concentrarte mejor el día
del examen. El día del examen no olvides desayunar adecuadamente; esa primera comida
es la más importante del día y te ayudará a mantenerte con energía durante la prueba.
Descansa y organízate. Días previos al examen organiza lo que vas a llevar el día de la
prueba. Prepara la cartera o bulto que vas a llevar con tu identificación con foto, dos
lápices No. 2 y goma de borrar. Se debe descansar adecuadamente desde dos días antes
del examen. Es recomendable que te comiences a acostar temprano y levantarte a la hora
que lo vas hacer el día del examen, de esta manera vas creando la rutina para que el día del
examen estés alerta y despierto.
No te estreses. Para este tipo de pruebas es esencial mantener la calma y la mente clara en
lo que se está haciendo. Las secciones del examen son por tiempo, pero tú concéntrate en
responder de la mejor forma posible. Evita sufrir ansiedad por el reloj y comenzar a
responder sin pensar en el tiempo.
Les deseamos éxito a nuestros estudiantes y le exhortamos a dar su mayor esfuerzo.
“Nuestra recompensa se encuentra en el esfuerzo y no en el resultado. Un esfuerzo total es una
victoria completa.”
-Mahatma Gandhi

Comentarios: Padres de primer grado, a finales de noviembre les estaré administrando la prueba de lectura a primer grado para saber en el nivel que se encuentran los niños. Esta prueba, aunque es diagnóstica, me ayuda a identificar aquellos estudiantes que necesitan refuerzo en esta área. Deben practicar los sonidos ya estudiados. Los viernes se llevarán a casa el libro Barquito de Papel para que practiquen la lectura, aunque no llevarán tareas asignadas, deben sacar unos minutos para leer. Agradeceré todo su apoyo. Sra.

Comments:
Bonjour Parents:
The students are really motivated with learning a third language. It is my
upmost recommendation that you listen to them as they practice.
Also, it is highly recommended that they have a dictionary of French-
English so they can look up for words on their own time and seek self-
improvement.
In class assessments I have acknowledged that the students have been
studying and practicing at home. They have completed the work and have
helped each other to complete as well. Keep up the good work!
I have been having trouble with IsiNet. I am waiting for them to fix it so I
can put the grades of the students in the system.
Up until now every student is in good standard, but any doubts feel free to
schedule an appointment.
