A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Dear Terrace Families,
In school, March always begins with the big question, “Did it come in like a lion or a lamb?” I am hoping it comes in like a lion so we can anticipate less snow and warmer temperatures as we look to the end of March. Let’s put another Iowa winter behind us!
We have a baby update to share as our Terrace family has grown. One of our teachers, Ms. Kaitlin Riley, said hello to her new baby girl, Reagan Rose. We all want to congratulate Kaitlin. We are so happy for her and her family. Reagan is beautiful!
Thank you to all our parents and students that attended our February Parent-Teacher Conferences. It is always such a positive time for teachers to talk about all the hard work and fun memories that are happening at Terrace with our students. We enjoy working with your child (ren) and love sharing and connecting with parents.
Also, thank you to our PTO and Terrace parents for supporting our teachers during conferences with some delicious food. The Terrace staff loved having a place to relax and enjoy a wonderful meal. PTO - We appreciate you! Terrace parents – We appreciate you!
Many times, I am asked by parents, "What can I do at home to help my child be successful at school?" My answer is quite simple, "Read with your child every day." Before, during, and after the reading, praise your child, direct a discussion about the story, ask questions, visualize the story, offer information, share personal reactions, and relate the story to life experiences. Most of all enjoy the story together and let your child see that reading is fun. Cherish this special “lap time” together!
Reminder that Spring Break is in the month of March. Students will not have school from March 10- March 17.
Enjoy your month as we look ahead with anticipation of Spring on March 20 and the warmer temperatures ahead!! I love Spring!!
Sincerely
Yours in Education,
Sheila Schmidt
Principal
