Writers’ Gallery
Every week the teachers submit writing pieces for us to showcase. Each week we pick out five exceptional writing pieces to display. The students are recognized by having their names said on the morning announcements, they receive a “Golden Pencil” and a McDonald’s certificate, as well as their pictures and writing exemplars are displayed in Writers’ Gallery. This week’s winners are: Brian R., Chloe H., Zach H., and Daniel W.
Reading Carnival
The Reading Carnival has been moved to Oct. 31st. Please keep those kids reading and signing their writing journals! Also, if you can volunteer to help please let us know!! It runs from 12:00-2:30 pm.
Help Room
In the morning from 8:20-8:50 we have a homework help room in the cafeteria. There will be tables set up for any student who would like extra help on homework or if they just need a few extra minutes to get it done! Please do not hesitate to send your student in for a little extra help!!
Central Pride- Responsibility
This month we have been focusing on the character trait of responsibility. We had our first Central Pride gathering yesterday. Mixed grade levels of students met with their Central Pride leader. We read If Everybody Did by JoAnn Stover and students participated in a game entitled, “Responsible Basketball”. The object of this game was to teach students the importance of behaving responsibly towards others. We talked about how it is often difficult to behave responsibly towards others because we worry about what others will think of us. For example, if everyone is laughing at someone, it is very difficult to be the one that reaches out to that person.
At home please encourage your child to continue to be brave and act responsibly towards others and show their best Central Pride everywhere!!!
