Learning Spotlight

This week students in Ms. McNair’s second grade class focused on specific nonfiction text structures and applied them to their reading independently and in guided reading groups. One structure that students particularly loved learning about was cause and effect! Students learned that the ‘cause’ is why something happened and the ‘effect’ is what happened. Our learners came up with their own cause and effect scenarios to share with the class. Additionally, students were able to collaborate as they sorted out different situations to determine what happened in the scenario (effect) and identified what exactly had caused it (cause).

PBIS and Bucket Filling

This week on morning announcements we focused on how we take care of others by keeping our hands to ourselves. Please speak with your student this weekend on the importance of hands to self especially during unstructured times like recess.

PTA Update

  • Thank you to the PTA for the fantastic Warm Your Heart luncheon for the PLES staff today!

  • The PLES PTA 5th annual Multicultural Night will take place at PLES on Friday, March 10, 2023, 6-8pm. Come explore world cultures through games, activities, and make-and-take crafts. The event is free and families and siblings are all welcome to join the fun. If you've been before, you won't want to miss the new cultures and activities we're rolling out this year! You can also visit the book fair during the event!

    • Don't forget to send in fun stories, recipes or family traditions you want to share to help fill our book for Multicultural Night. Families will be able to take a free copy home from the event.
