"One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world."

— M. Yousafzai

Dear Nuestro Mundo Families and Friends,

The Blizzard of ’26 was one for the books! We are grateful for the incredible support from our families, the City, our building owners—who sent crews to clear the snow—and our staff, who showed up for high quality virtually instruction.

We also appreciate RIDE’s approval to hold virtual instruction days and the wonderful participation from our students and families. While this storm may have surpassed the Blizzard of 1978 in snowfall, technology made all the difference, allowing learning to continue even while we were safely at home 💕

This aligns well with our character education theme for the month: Perseverance and Resilience. See how we kicked off this theme in our Monday assemblies below, with music, student feedback and recognition.

Today we practiced one of the safety drills required by the Rhode Island Department of Education. Schools are required to conduct different types of drills throughout the year—such as fire drills, lockdown drills, and evacuation drills—to ensure that students and staff know how to respond calmly and safely in the event of an emergency.

Our staff prepares students in an age-appropriate way so that the process feels routine and not frightening. Practicing these procedures helps ensure that everyone in our school community knows what to do to stay safe.

We appreciate and depend on support from you. Consider donating to NM here➞

Question & Answer Relationships (QAR)

QAR (Question–Answer Relationships) is a reading comprehension strategy that helps students think critically about where to find answers—whether directly in the text or by using their own thinking. This has been a focus at NM this year during small group instruction, reading buddies, and in our Learning Academy after-school, school break, and summer programs. See our students and educators in action while using this strategy!
