Magness Creek Elementary
Week of November 27, 2023
We hope our Magness Creek families had a blessed Thanksgiving break and are ready to have a fun filled three weeks full of learning festivities! If you haven't had a chance to check out Dr. Thurman's Turkey Talk with some of kindergarteners, take some time to enjoy on our school Facebook page. It is guaranteed to make you smile!
*Our second, third, and fourth grades will be attending the ELF musical at the high school on Monday. Because of this special event, we do have a revised lunch schedule for Monday only:
10:30 Second Grade
11:00 Third Grade
11:15 Fourth Grade
11:30 Pre-K
11:50 Kindergarten
12:20 First Grade
*We are reaching the end of our November grade level attendance incentive. To commemorate being "stuffed" by Thanksgiving, this month's winning grade level will get to bring a stuffed animal to school on Friday of this week to spend the day with them. We will announce the winning grade level after we run attendance data this week.
*Rockin' Around the Creek has been planned for Tuesday, December 5 from 5-7:30. More information about this fun event is located below. This event will kick off our Swiftmas dress up days which is outlined below as well.
*Our Magness Creek Elementary PTO online auction is happening now on their Facebook page. All proceeds will benefit families in our school for Christmas Alliance. Auction rules are attached below.
*First Arkansas Bank and Trust has extended the DEVOted Reading Log contest. Please see below for more details. Reading logs are due December 12.
*We have had many students and parents ask if balls can be brought to school for recess. Here is what the Cabot Public Schools handbook states on this matter in the Classroom Disruptions section:
Elementary/Middle School students should refrain from bringing toys/games from home unless they are for a specified classroom activity. Many conflicts arise when students bring their personal balls from home to use at recess. The school has community balls to use at recess that can be shared by everyone if the duty teacher deems appropriate. Thank you for understanding!
*Our campus implements Capturing Kids Hearts. Please complete the parent survey at the following link to help us plan next steps for growth: https://iheartckh.com/squrl/6vki4nay. Thank you for your input!
We hope everyone has an amazing first week back from break!

How to access Lexia at Home
Lexia is an online reading program that we use for all students here at Magness Creek in grades K-4. It has 21 levels. Students took a placement test at the beginning of the year and were placed on the level they should begin with. Every time a student passes a level, the office will give the student a prize and document the progress on a superstar wall by the office. Various classroom teachers have systems in their classrooms as well to further reward units and time spent on Lexia. We have seen Lexia grow students substantially in the area of reading. As you know, chromebooks stay here at school this year, but we wanted you to have the information for your child to be able to access Lexia at home on a personal device if they would want to devote more time to this program after hours:
*Go to https://lexiacore5.com.
*Use your child's teacher email to log in. Then use your child's Student ID for the username and password. Please call the office or ask your child's teacher for the Student ID number if you do not know it.
Our word of the month is Teamwork!
