Hard at Work
Books, Books, Books!
February 3, 2022
Dear parents and guardians,
Life at school is slowly getting closer to "normal." Our students are so flexible and resilient. We are continuing to really promote reading for the sheer joy of reading. We want to instill a love for reading with our kids. The research regarding the volume of independent reading is so strong.
Expect your children to read nightly. Read together, let them read independently, let them re-read the same stories, let them read all kinds of things. Recipes, grocery lists, instructions, advertisements....Show them that reading is empowering.
Exciting news for Monday, 2/7! We are have a "Sock Hop" dance party with DJ's for Super Student. Students who had no referrals and less than 3 NI's on report cards are "Super Students." We want to celebrate good citizenship.
Our guidance counselor will be presenting information as required by "Erin's Law" regarding sexual abuse, assault and reporting to 3rd and 4th grade students. It is age appropriate. If you would like to know more about Erin's Law, visit https://www.erinslaw.org/ Here is a quick look at the research and a conversation guide for how to talk to kids about personal safety. If you have concerns or questions, please feel free to call a counselor or administrator.
February is the month for the American Heart Challenge. Our coaches are working hard to support healthy living habits. We also want to support those with heart disease as a PDE community. Please visit the PDE Kids' Heart Challenge web page to register your child. Teachers with half their class registered will receive an Amazon gift card and it will cost you nothing.
We have lots of coats, lunchboxes and jackets in our lost and found. I encourage you to have your child look for lost item. They can ask at the front office. An adult will help them.
Be sure to check out our Facebook page to see lots of fun pictures from school. The link is above and below. If you need anything, the school number is 843-397-2579. We feel blessed to be able to serve your children and you.
Respectfully,
Chris Plowman, principal
