very quickly on us in March.

With March upon us it means that when the basketball season is officially over, it will
be time for Spring Sports to start as well. Track and Golf will be able to start on
March 3rd.
I recently read an article from www.earlychildhoodnews.com about the importance of
outdoor play. Many of us remember what it was like in our childhood days. No Internet, three channels of TV that we only watched when it was either too cold or too dark
to play outside. We rode our bikes everywhere from the time school was out until we
had to come home for supper, and then we did it all over again but only if and when our
homework was done.
It is the outdoor play that helps the very young children to adolescents develop their
physical skills. Hand eye coordination, and balance can only be improved if you are actively using them. Throwing, catching, lifting and carrying are all using motor skills that
are also very important later in life.
Running, jumping, chasing, and riding are all ways for kids to develop good exercise
habits that will also benefit them as they grow older in burning calories and strengthening heart and lung capacity. Many studies have shown that the youth of

today do not get enough sunlight as well. We all have a “biological clock” that is effected when the pineal gland
doesn’t get enough light. This glad is responsible for helping the immune system run better and make us feel happier. Do you ever wonder why typically we are in much better moods during the spring and summer months? It’s
not because of no school, it’s because we get to be outside enjoying the sun and soaking in our daily doses of natural Vitamin D.
The outdoors also helps learning. Social and emotional development also occurs in children when they are outside
playing games with other children. Whether it be on the playground, outdoor basketball court, or the swimming
pool in the summer, they are all places for social (real social) interaction. Face to face communication and not an
online video simulation game, or social media outlet are beginning to take over our children’s desire to play outside.
Outside play also helps children be inventive. How many games can you remember just making up as you went
along? My friends and I would make up all kinds of sports games because there may only be 3-4 of us and that
wasn’t enough to play a game of baseball in the back yard, but boy could we come up with some interesting ways to
“play ball”.
My point folks is this…It’s time to have your kids put down the remotes, and iPads and computers and get outside
to have some fun this spring and summer. Think back to the days of old (for me, it’s a lot longer ago than I care
to remember) when times were much more simple. Knowing who your neighbors were, and if you were out playing,
your parents knew exactly whose house you were at.
Here’s to the Great Outdoors!!!!

News from Dr. Gilson, SCNUSD #5 Superintendent:
Earlier this year several teachers at South Central Nebraska Unified School District began piloting a Learning Management System called Schoology. After much consideration of other Learning Management products that were on the
market, the Technology Committee, which is comprised of teachers, parents, and school board members recommended
Schoology.
Why did we purchase Schoology? My primary goal is to assist students to reach their fullest potential or highest level
of expertise in an area of interest that is important to them. Developing a high level of expertise in an area of interest
would put every one of our students on a path to become successful and find happiness in a career.
Researchers have found that there are no short cuts in developing expertise. It takes ten to fifteen years of practice.
This practice has to be carefully planned out to deliberately focus on areas related to each student’s interest. People
who are experts have spent hours and years practicing new components within their interest area to assist them in
broadening their repertoire within that area. This is where teachers and coaches become most valuable. It is teachers
and coaches who help model, critique, and introduce new skills for the learner to try and master.
Purchasing a computer for every student from kindergarten through 12 th grade has provided the opportunity to personalize education for every learner at Lawrence-Nelson and Sandy Creek. Let’s say a student’s interested in airplanes,
construction, or medicine. By using Schoology, a teacher can personalize assignments to each learner’s interest area.
Researchers found that along with practice, people who have developed expertise have read a lot of informational material related to their interest level. Again it takes years (more than ten) of reading, studying, and even writing about
their interest to understand the nuances of it. Within Schoology, teachers can digitally assign reading and writing assignments that are aligned to each student’s interest. Teachers can also upload instructional videos from other teachers or classes around the world related to a student’s interest area.
Experts tinker, experiment, and make subtle adjustments while they practice. They fail frequently! Why, because they
are always trying some new nuance to their craft. They are always challenging themselves to reach a higher level of
proficiency. Schoology allows students to practice many, many times. Instead of recording every single grade, Schoology can record the student’s best effort directly into a grade book. It can also average all the attempts, but using averages are risky.
Imagine if Abraham Lincoln would have received a grade every single time he attempted to run for office? He was defeated eight times at state legislature, Congress, Senate, and Vice-President and was successful three times at state
legislature, Congress, and President. Three A’s and five F’s would have given him an F in school. Averaging his results
wouldn’t have helped much either (37%).
Arguably one of America’s greatest inventors, Thomas Edison holds over 1,093 U.S. patents. While developing the light
bulb, Edison failed with over 10,000 prototypes. Then he finally succeeded, which prompted the famous proclamation
that said, “I have not failed 10,000 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways
will not work.”
I am hopeful that by offering Schoology and giving every student a computer our students will enjoy learning more
deeply about their interest area to find success. I hope that teachers use Schoology to connect state standards from
the subject they teach to student interests, which may later turn into the career a student chooses.
I hope that teachers and students use the video recording capabilities that Schoology has to allow students to have
more practice time. By flipping the classrooms, students can watch instructional videos that teachers make and
rewatch videos as many times as they need to at any time of the day from anywhere. Students can learn anywhere and
upload their work to Schoology and get immediate feedback from their teacher.

Continued from Dr. Gilson, Superintendent:
Immediate feedback allows the learner to make adjustments just as Thomas Edison did over 10,000 times. Imagine if
Edison had to wait for a paper to be returned to him from his teacher? Teacher’s can program Schoology to give feedback immediately allowing students to get back to work practicing and making adjustments.
Imagine if Edison was also only allowed to get feedback from one person, let’s say a teacher, as he tried to invent the
light bulb. Experts in an area seek out other experts and mentors so they can advance their learning and training to
new higher levels. Schoology and the computer allow students to be apart of blogs with experts, learn along with other
students who share their same interest, and even take classes schools from schools around the world.
Using Schoology provides transparency for parents and teachers to support students as they pursue their interests.
Lincoln, Edison, Steve Jobs, etc. suffered much heartache, pain, and failure as they aspired to reach their goals. Researchers have found that everyone who has succeeded has had a critical supporter in their corner all along the way.
These advocates played a critical role and offered support when the learner suffered defeats or failures as they developed their craft.
I believe that in time you will find the computer and Schoology will provide a much different learning experience for our
students. One that research has proven time and time again to work best when developing expertise in individuals.
Library Corner:
Welcome to this month’s Library Corner featuring the The Readers’ Guide to Periodical
Literature and the Accelerated Reader program.
The Readers’ Guide is an index to recently published articles in over 460 of the most
popular periodicals and scholarly journals. If you are looking for detailed current events or
just information on current issues, the Readers’ Guide is the place to go. Articles may be
researched by title, author, or subject. Be sure to check it out!
“All learning starts with reading. It’s a skill
and, as with every skill, it requires not just
instruction but practice.” Recognizing that this
is crucial to life-long learning, Renaissance
Learning developed the Accelerated Reader
program. The Accelerated Reader (AR) is a
web based software assessment program for
monitoring the practice of reading. Students
may use the AR Book Finder to search over
150,000 books that have AR quizzes by title,
author, subject, reading level or interest level. They can then take an AR quiz via the computer, which assigns
points based on their score, book length, and difficulty. The AR link may be accessed on the school web site under
“Student Links.” Students accumulating 100 points are awarded a reading achievement medal at the awards
ceremony. Good luck and happy reading!

Doors Open – 5:30 p.m.
Supper – 6:00 p.m.
Play – 7:30 p.m.
This play is a collection of hilarious (and often too close to the truth) scenes that all families
are going to be able to relate to. Remember when Dad tried to teach you to drive? Or Mom
decided that she would help pick out your wardrobe? How about those family vacations when
you were stuck in the backseat for hours on end with your annoying sibling, headed for a
camping trip in the middle of nowhere…and then your precious iPod suddenly died. Join the
Lawrence/Nelson drama department in reliving these memorable moments!!

Lawrence-Nelson TeamMates:
In late January, the Lawrence/Nelson TeamMates held its annual mentor
appreciation supper and fundraiser. We recognized 32 matches in our program as well as 9 students that are waiting for mentors. 12 Mentors were
honored for meeting with their mentees at least 10 times in the first semester, with one mentor meeting with her two mentees a total of 32 hours!
Board members were also recognized for helping our program run smoothly, they are Lance Williams, Royce
Schott, Joe Theer, Sue VanSkiver, Jessica Stokes, Darrel Buschkoetter, and Royce Gonzales. Mentoring is an
important part of our community and vital to the youth who are our future. Just think of the impact you can
make on a young person’s life with just one hour of your time during the school year. Remember, that it only
takes one person to make a difference in the life of a child. For more information about TeamMates please contact your local coordinators; Kim Ely or JoDe Kinnaman.
We would like to thank the following generous donors that helped make our fundraising event a big success:
