CYCLONE CHATTER 8/29/14

The Preschool Cyclones have been very busy learning all the routines and rules that there are at school. They are enjoying playing in centers and learning their friends' names. Each preschooler is doing a super job learning the letters in their name. Next they will begin the "Letter-A-Day" theme where they will be introduced and learn about a new letter each day!

Parent Reading Tips:
The secret weapon for school success –
Lack of sleep is a national epidemic for today’s children, and the consequences are serious! Sleep deprivation can affect cognitive skills and academic achievement. A continuing lack of sleep is linked to serious health problems including diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and depression. Children ages 5-12 need 10-11 hours of sleep according to the National Sleep Foundations. Make sleep a top priority!!

DIBEL Scores overall very pretty awesome!
Please visit with your classroom teacher at P/T conferences to see how your son/daughter did and find out some strategies that you can do at home to help your son/daughter better themselves!! Kindergarteners have been busy using IPADS. They are scanning barcodes that give them a sound and they have to find the picture that goes with that sound – it’s pretty awesome!! They are also working on position words and writing their name correctly using the correct strokes!!

1st Grade, Shaylie is having a Birthday September 1st. Happy Birthday!! They are busy studying the 4 needs of Animals in Science. If Social Studies, they are busy working on their Citizenship unit for school and community rules!!

The 2nd Graders have been really busy using Technology in their classroom! They have been using IPADS, reviewed for a Science Test using KAHOOT (clicker system which they loved), and have been listening to lots of audio books on tumblebooks.com. More info on that next week!

The 3rd Graders will be having some special visitors this week! The High School Science Class is coming in and they are using the Scientific Method to conduct experiments! They ask a question, form a hypothesis, plan and conduct and experiment, make an observation, collect data and will then compile information into a graph to form a conclusion!

The 4th graders would like to welcome Ms. Schacht to their room. Ms. Schacht is Student Teaching this semester in the 4th grade room and the Preschool room! She is from Orchard and is super excited to be here working with the 4th grade class! The 4th graders also took their first Math Test over Place Value. 92% of the class scored an A or B and 3 of them had a perfect score – and 92% of them also had an A or B on their Nebraska History Test. Rock on 4th Graders!! Sounds as if they are REALLY busy kiddos!!
Make sure to check out our hallways at school! Displays Student work will be displayed throughout the year!!

Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Monday!! Also, Volleyball and Football games start this week so get out and support the CYCLONES!!

Students – if you have News Worthy News that you would like to add to the Cyclone Chatter, plead your case with Mrs. Mlnarik and if you bring her treats, it just might get in – just kidding!! Bring your idea to her and we’ll make a decision together!!
