March 11, 2016 HOME OF THE LEOPARDS The Er LawtonTheElementary N e w s l e t t e r . ` - March 2016 2016 International Faire MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL March is Reading Month Blast off into reading! I love to celebrate our love for reading, while having fun with our students. Our theme for this year is to Blast off Into Reading. The TARGET is to inspire and enlighten children with their relationships with books. Through the theme of “Blast off into Reading: Where Eager Readers Lead”, Lawton students will participate in activities that spark their enthusiasm with reading while developing leadership skills. They will use literacy skills to learn about our galaxy, community, and becoming lifelong learners. We look forward to “Blasting Off” with all our Lawton families! UPCOMING PTO EVENTS be running through the galaxy. If we beat our goal from last year of 177,000 minutes, each classroom will be able to pick out what Commander Blick will have to run in. The students are being creative with their ideas! ☺ March’s Hot Read Oh The Places You’ll Go, by Dr. Seuss “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” This is a great Dr. Seuss story that teaches readers that they are in charge of their lives (Habit 1: Be Proactive). We are challenging each of our students to read at least 100 minutes per week. Each Friday, students are asked to return a reading month tab Our Lawton staff would like to that has their total number of weekly reinforce that reading can take you minutes read. At the end of the month, anywhere. our kids and members of our team will Collection for Used Book Fair Mon, Mar 7-Mon, Mar 14 Used Book Fair Sale Mon, Mar 14-Wed, Mar 16 School Concerts 2nd Grade Tue, March 22, 7 p.m. 4th Grade, Wed, March 23, 7 p.m. 3rd Grade Battle of the Books Wed, Mar 16-Thu, Mar 17 Science Olympiad Competition Sat, May 14 (Pioneer High School) Ice Cream Social Fri, Jun 3 Final PTO Meeting Fri, Jun 7 Lawton Media Center, 7 p.m. Box Tops for Education Collection Mon, Jun 13 LAWTON NEWSLETTER | HOME OF THE LAWTON LEOPARDS | March 7, 2016 2 MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL CONTINUED / THE LEADER IN ME From soaring to high heights and seeing great sights to being left in a Lurch on a prickle-ly perch, Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with his trademark humorous verse and illustrations, while encouraging readers to find the success that lies within. Sincerely, Shannon Blick, Ed. S Habit 3- Put First Things First What are the most import “things?” How do we keep track and decide? Habit 3 is Put First Things First- “I plan for the important.” This Habit is about recognizing what is important, prioritizing time, and organizing tasks so we don’t have to constantly be stressed! Some kind of written planner is a great tool. Modeling this behavior is the best way to teach it. Ways to apply at home: District Surveys for students and parents During the weeks of March 21st to April 1st, our district will be collecting your thoughts on how WE are doing. The goal of the climate survey is to hear from ALL of our constituents. Please consider sharing your experience with us. Only with a complete story can we truly grow together. The results from these surveys assist our school improvement teams with future planning. Students in grades 3–5 will be given time at school to complete their survey. Middle School Dates: » Wednesday, March 17, 6:30pm Parent Orientation in the Auditorium at Slauson » Wednesday, May 4, AM, 5th Grade Visit to Slauson M-Step – Spring Testing for Grades 3–5 Testing Window (Detail schedules will be shared by classroom teachers at a later date) » 5th Grade 4/11-4/29 » 4th Grade 4/25-5/13 » 3rd Grade 5/9-5/27 Our state assessment will be an online assessment that will be completely aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). Our AAPS administration has been providing our staff with professional development on the instructional shifts that are necessary to align our teaching with the CCSS. Our Lawton staff has also been practicing online/tech skills, as well as working on content with our students. If you would like to know more and practice the online/ tech skills at home, please go to the following link: Sample Item Sets for grades 5, 8 and 11 now available at https://wbte.drcedirect.com/MI/portals/mi/. (Remember, Chrome only) Priority Sort Game. Let your child pretend to be your boss. You went golfing/skiing/to the movies. Explain why your report wasn’t in on time. Now you be the teacher and let your child explain how they played instead of doing their homework. Now role-play where you each did your work and studied before you played. Discuss the results and how it feels when we prepare. A good point is how much more we can enjoy our play if we aren’t worried about the things we haven’t done. Planning helps us succeed. Show your child what you use to organize your time and tasks. Is it a simple “To Do” list? Calendar? Digital Organizer? Help them create a list of things that need to be done in the week. How can tasks be broken down by day? Write it out. Small children can use pictures. Older kids and teens can plan times of day for tasks and include time for leisure activity as well. Family Time. Nothing is more important than our families. Set aside Family time each week. Let kids help plan the activities. Card and board games are a great way to interact. Go for a walk. Plan and fix a meal together. Visit the library or zoo. Look at old family photos. Protect this time and commit to strengthening your family. Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t go smoothly the first few times. Keep trying. Words to use: “How can we plan to make sure your (homework/chores/project) is completed on time?” “Our family is important and I would like to spend time with you. What would be a good activity for us to do together?” “Which is more important? X or Y?” “I bet you felt really good/grown up/proud to have completed ____.” “Thank you for putting first things first. It is so great to know I can count on you.” “Let’s talk about this. Did you really think ____ was the most important thing?” “I understand (your video game) felt very urgent, but was it really more important than (keeping your agreement to unload the dishwasher?)” “How can we plan better for next time?” For teens/older kids: “What are some things that just waste your time? What can you do about that?” LAWTON NEWSLETTER | HOME OF THE LAWTON LEOPARDS | March 7, 2016 A MESSAGE FROM THE PTO CO-PRESIDENTS Dear Lawton Families ~ A Wonderful Community What a fantastic week we had at Lawton this past week!

Congratulations to Lawton Elementary for once again accomplishing the highest level of Green Schools in Michigan! Michigan Green Schools is a non-profit 501(c)3 agency dedicated to assisting all Michigan schools – public and private – achieve environmental goals which include protecting the air, land, water and animals of our state along with world outreach through good ecological practices and the teaching of educational stewardship of students.

In addition to last years activities of building 2 gardens, we have added a vermicompost pit to recycle all organic waste from the cafeteria, created bee hotels, sponsored the local bee program A2B2, and partnered with two Washtenaw County eco-friendly programs: Waste Knot and Community Partners for Clean Streams. The Waste Knot program is designed to recognize organizations for their sound waste management practices in three important areas: waste reduction, operation of a strong recycling program, and use of recycled content products. Community partners for Clean Streams is a program is to help identify practical, cost effective ways to protect Washtenaw County waterways through pollution prevention. Our Green Team will be working very hard this Spring to improve the groundwater around our Lawton play area!
