Talking About School
- "Let's see what you worked on today." Look at finished work to find out what your child is learning.
- "Show me what you have for homework." While it's your child's job to do their homework, you play a part too. Make sure they know what they're supposed to do and then check to see if it's complete.
- "Tell me about a book you read." This gives you an idea of what your child prefers to read.
- "Tell me what you learned that you would like to know more about." Encourage your student to extend their learning and stress that learning is a continuous and lifelong process.
PE News
I hope you and your family had a wonderful break. In April, students will begin using the climbing wall in the CES gym. The climbing wall is used to promote upper & lower body strength. Students will also overcome fear, and gain confidence in their own ability to maneuver across the wall. Students get very excited about it. We will be working on horizontal jumping and vertical jumping. I plan to have stations for students to reinforce prior skills learned this year. We now have 3 water bottle fill stations at CES. Students are allowed to bring a water bottle and utilize these stations. As the weather becomes better, some students wear flip flops or sandals. Please remind your child to have shoes for physical education class.
Thank you,
Mr. Veine

Art Room Update
Hello Comets!
We have made it to Spring! All the students (except 3rd grade) have been working on some spring flower garden drawings, and learning a little about Claude Monet and his paintings. The third graders and I have been working on an amazing dragon eye. They have been using pastels and paint, and learning a little about color relationships and the color wheel! 3-D projects are coming up next.

Dropping Off and Picking Up Reminder
- Pull all the way forward so that we can unload/load as many students as possible. This will make the process more smooth and efficient.
- Do not attempt to make a left turn into the car rider lane. Traffic is often backed up down S. West St. for drivers making a righthand turn into the lane. Instead, join the back of the line and make the righthand turn.
