Mrs. Walters' News
Dear Bushnell Elementary Families,
Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered their time at our Penguin Patch gift store! And to our awesome PTO for setting it up for us! The children loved picking out gifts for their family members. No peeking!
Check out the calendar below for next week's dress up days!
One special activity for staff next week will be our annual "Elf Hunt!" I'd love to give out some gift cards to staff. If you are able and would like to, I am collecting $5-$10 gift cards to hand out as prizes. They can be dropped off to the office or sent in an envelope with your child marked "For the Office." SHHHHH!!!! It's a secret!
This week we assessed all the students using Acadience for winter benchmarking. This literacy test will give us a chance to see how each student is progressing in basic literacy skills like segmenting, phonemic awareness (identifying sounds in words), letter naming and sounds and more! This is also a time of year that we shuffle some of our reading intervention groups. Your child may be exited or invited to reading intervention, but rest assured if they do it is data driven through our Acadience testing.
I think that's it for now! Only five more days which is hard to believe!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Erin Walters
Bushnell Elementary Principal
