Scott Science Fair
What Has Been Happening on Our Third Floor?
In Mr. Pearson's Earth Science classroom, students have been learning "the fundamentals" of Earth Science, which includes the four branches of Earth Science, the three main parts of the Earth, and the three main layers of the Earth. This week, students began working on an "Earth's Main Parts Poster Project" which serves as a visual study aide for students to practice using important Earth Science concepts studied in this section of their textbooks while also encouraging student creativity in learning new concepts that apply to all areas of Earth Science.
Mrs. Freeman Petersen Social Studies class made flip books to introduce themselves. They are creating interactive notebooks for geography. Also 4 squares to enforce their knowledge of vocabulary.
Our ELA students in Mr. Henry's and Mrs. Farley's classes worked very hard this past week completing their benchmark testing.
Our students in Mrs. Abgarian's and Ms. Davenport's math classes have been using Spring Math daily to develop their fact fluency. They have also been working on creating factor trees to find the prime factorization of any given number. They then used the prime factorization to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of two or more numbers. They are SO proud of how well the students are grasping these concepts!
Books and Bingo Night
Focus on Bus Behavior for the Month of October
There have been a lot of bus referrals coming in to Scott, and students have been reminded of the rules on the bus. They are to stay seated in their seats, be kind to the students around them, and be respectful to the bus driver.
For the month of October we will be rewarding students for good bus behavior. Any students that do not have a bus referral during the month of October will be able to participate in a school wide kickball tournament the first week of November. We are hoping that ALL our Scott students will be able to participate.
Please feel free to go over the expectations with your students. I have attached our policy below.
Would You Like to Volunteer at Scott?
We have started the year off well and are looking forward to a successful 2023-2024 school year. As you know, it takes a village! I would love to invite families that are able to volunteer time at Scott. That time can look like supporting in our library, reading with students, making copies, helping on our fun days, or even chaperoning a field trip.
If this is something you are interested in, please see the attached document outlining rules, expectations, and needed paperwork.
Code of Conduct
We have had a great start to the school year at Scott, and I know our students will continue to follow the expectations for the school year. We will continue to review and reinforce rules in classrooms, teams and as a whole school.
The School Board approved our 2023-2024 Code of Conduct. Please click on the link below to read the code of conduct. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Nurse's Corner
A few reminders for our families:
1. Please remind your student to bring a refillable water bottle to school. Our water fountains only have the water bottle feature available.
2. Some student's backpacks are way too heavy creating a health and safety concern. Please read the attached article on backpack basics for important information on how to help your student.
Gently Used Clothing Needed for Our Nurse's Office
We are looking for donations of gently used clothing for our nurse's office. Shirts, shorts, pants, sweatshirts, and socks would be greatly appreciated. Please send clean donations in a bag labeled for the nurse.
Thank you for your help!
