Principal: Mr. Scott Bein
The Principal’s Pen... By Scott Bein: It is difficult to believe we are half way finished with this year. Our students have grown so much in such little time. They are making progress with reading and arithmetic. Our teachers are working extra hard to help our students grow. However, now is the time to stop and relax for a couple of weeks , and spend some quality time with our families over this Christmas break. During the break try to keep those little minds active. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Read books together 2. Students K-3 have a log on for ticket to read. Web site is www.tickettoread.com. This helps support their literacy growth. 3. Grades 1 through 5 can access www.mathchimp.com. It is free math games and instruction. 4. Pre-K and Kindergarten can access www.cookie.com for free instructional games and activities. 5. Pre-K and Kindergarten can access www.starfall.com for literacy help. 6. www.funbrain.com to play games to practice reading and math skills. With a little time spent over the break on some of these helpful hints our kiddos will come back ready to go for the second half of the year. Have a great break and a Merry Christmas!
There is no greater joy nor greater reward than to make a fundamental difference in someone’s life. -Mary Rose McGeady
