Book Fair Coming Soon!

Principal Letter - English and Spanish

We are so excited for the Book Fair next week!  Make sure to plan ahead.  

March Read Aloud and The IB Attribute

It has been so much fun reading in classroom s this month.  Our IB Attribute for March is Thinker.  Our Sargeant students are amazing thinkers who share great ideas during our time reading together.
We have been reading and discussing "Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors?" by Tanya Lee Stone.  This book honors Elizabeth Blackwell, America's first female doctor.

Thinker

They exercise initiative in applying thinking skills critically and creatively to recognize and approach complex problems, and make reasoned, ethical decisions.


Please pull all the way up to the yellow curb at drop off and pick up.  Please also avoid passing cars in the drop off line.  I know it is tempting when we see an open space, but we want to keep our pick up drop off safe and friendly.  If everyone pulls all the way forward, we will be able to get more students in and out of cars more quickly.

Thank you



The Book Corner
This week's selections are about strong female leads and friendship.

Mrs. OConnors recommends:
Enola Holmes: Enola is the younger sister of Sherlock Holmes who becomes a detective when her mother goes missing.  There are 7 books in this series and we have them all.

The War that Saved My Life: Ada is disabled and chooses to run off with her brother to escape war.  This is about their adventures along the way.  Mrs. O'Connors and Mrs. V. give this book 2 thumbs way up!

The Series of Unfortunate Events: A story about 3 siblings who are trying to get away from a villain who wants to steal their fortune!

Mrs. Vandivier recommends:
Stick and StoneA lonely tree branch and rock find friendship and strength together. A chance encounter leads Stick to stand up for Stone against a bullying pine cone. Now inseparable, the two explore and play.  Great book to discuss friendship and being strong!

Bulldog Buck Drawings and Prizes
Student attendance is very important. We want our Bulldogs to be at school on time each day and for the full day. There is so much for students to learn and be apart of when they are at school. One of those cool things is the morning announcements that includes drawings and prize winners. When students are not on campus for the announcement of their name being drawn for the Bulldog Buck drawing, another name is drawn for the prize. Please make sure that your student is at school on time each day to avoid missing the morning activities in the classroom as well as the morning announcements.

Parent Surveys

Thank you for taking the time to complete the parent survey. As of today, we have 173 responses! That is amazing. We will be reviewing the parent survey at our Site Council Meeting on Tuesday night.

Congratulations to Kindergarten and 3rd Grade!!! These two grade levels had the highest percentage of participation and have earned an extra recess with Mrs. Barker. We are excited to go out and play on a day when the sun is out!
