November Happenings

Veteran's Day at SLE

We are excited to honor our veterans this Wednesday.  Students will be putting together a wall of honor, beginning the day with a special assembly and many veterans will be joining us for lunch.  In addition, we will be honoring those who are currently serving with Operation Gratitude.  Students have been bringing in a small portion (sometimes a large portion!) of their Halloween candy to send to those currently serving in our armed forces.  The generosity of our students is awesome!   Donations can be turned in through Tuesday, November 10.


District Math Night

Do you have questions about what your child is learning in math?  Does Common Core math have you scratching your head?  join us: 
6:30-7:30 pm  
Thursday, November 12th 
at Kings Mills Elementary School 
for a K-4 Math Night!
You will learn about the K-4 math standards, your child’s math program, what your child is doing in math class and how you can support your child at home. To help us prepare, we ask that if you plan to attend, please complete this short electronic survey using this link K-4 Math Night Survey.


Kindness Week

Kindness week is rapidly approaching! This year it will be Nov. 16th - 20th and the theme is superheros.   If you ordered a t-shirt, they will be passed out on Friday, Nov. 13.  Mrs. Burdine has some pretty cool things planned including the return of Basketball Jones on Thursday the 19th.   Should be a fantastic week!  Stay tuned for more details.   

Reading Really Adds Up!

Why Read 20 Minutes A day? This should go home to every parent at the beginning of the year, but I'd highlight the test score part more!:
