Exciting News and Events
Our prek-2 students did an amazing job at the concert on Wednesday singing a combination of classic holiday songs along with some new ones! Thank you to all of the family and community members who came out to hear the performance. We hope to see many of you back again on December 19 for our 3-4 concert. IN OTHER NEWS For the month of December we have been recognizing students from each lunch that have exhibited excellent behavior in the lunchroom. The students names are then entered into a drawing to sit at a special lunch table! Below are the prek -K students that were selected last week. Keep up the great work!
This Just In: Writing gives students an exciting and creative way to teach others what they know. Mrs. Folger’s third grade students are working on writing nonfiction books. Each student is researching an African animal and organizing their research into chapters. Students are learning how to outline their chapters into boxes and bullets before beginning their writing. This is helping them learn how to write in paragraphs. The students are doing a remarkable job determining what information is important to include in each chapter.
HORNETHerald IN OTHER BREAKING NEWS… This week our students had the opportunity to shop at the Holiday Store. This is an event that the PTO has hosted at our school for many years and a tradition that students really look forward to. The excitement that students get from getting to choose a gift on their own for their loved ones is truly amazing. A big thank you to everyone who donated items for this event.
Stand By’er Assembly Students were very excited about our December assembly! We recognized 10 students at the assembly for being Stand By’ers. Each student recognized received a certificate, pencil and pencil topper.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION NEWS… Students in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade have been participating in a striking game called foursquare. Foursquare has a long history of being a great childhood hand eye coordination game and is played on playgrounds around the world every day. It is a game that has been around since at least the 1950s and kids are still enjoying it today.
Mr. King would like to send everyone a friendly reminder to dress for success! This includes wearing appropriate footwear and clothing for vigorous exercise.
At Newport/Plymouth Elementary School we are safe, responsible and respectful. If you see your child come home with a Hornet Hero sticker, please ask him/her how he/she earned it!
PBIS Update In the month of December, students will continue to work on being a stand-by’er. A standby’er is someone who speaks up for others who may be hurt, sad or upset.
