de los crecimientos maacutes raacutepidos de la ciudad en las medidas de lectura en espantildeol e
ingleacutes Maacutes del 79 de nuestros estudiantes en Kindergarten 1ero y 2ndo grado lograron el punto
de referencia para la lectura en espantildeol (nuestra meta fue 75) En los grados 3ero 4to y 5to maacutes del 41 de los estudiantes alcanzaron el dominio de la lectura en ingleacutes soacutelo un punto
porcentual por debajo del promedio del distrito Sin embargo al mirar el nuacutemero de estudiantes
que alcanzaron sus metas de crecimiento usted ve cuaacutento han logrado estos estudiantes este
antildeo iexclEl 71 de los estudiantes alcanzaron sus objetivos de crecimiento este antildeo iexclEstas cifras
de crecimiento estaacuten dentro de las maacutes alta de la ciudad
Este increiacuteble crecimiento acadeacutemico se vuelve auacuten maacutes inspirador cuando se considera la
coaccioacuten que estos nintildeos han estado viviendo debido a un ambiente poliacutetico que es abiertamente
opresivo y discriminatorio hacia las minoriacuteas 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 antildeo
Le han dado vida al espiacuteritu y al potencial de lo que siempre hemos creiacutedo que es Nuestro
Mundo un lugar en donde todos son bienvenidos todos estaacuten seguros y todos son amados
Ha sido un antildeo que personalmente nunca olvidareacute iexclLes deseo un verano seguro divertido y
feliz

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

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

Box Tops 10
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

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

your young reader But try to encour-

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

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

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

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

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

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
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

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

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
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

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
